  John Dee in Manchester
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-07-2023, 06:46 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Where did Dee live? People speculate about a house, in an ancient street, preserved under the Corn Exchange. It seems more likely that Dee lived in what is now Chetham’s School."

  Robert Fludd and the Alchemical Process of Creation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-07-2023, 06:33 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Fludd believed in the Hermetic view of the macrocosm and the microcosm, and used Pythagorean principles of mathematics and musical harmony to explain how the cosmos was created. He also saw creation as an alchemical process and illustrated it with a series of fantastic drawings that look like mandalas or cymatics images."

  Cabala, Spiegel Der Kunst Und Natur, In Alchymia (1615)
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-07-2023, 06:17 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

A Hall of Mirrors: Cabala, Spiegel Der Kunst Und Natur, In Alchymia (1615)

"Featuring four alchemical engravings by Raphael Custos — much reproduced since Carl Jung included the third as “The Mountain of the Adepts” in Psychology and Alchemy (1968) — Cabala’s leading symbol is the looking glass, which the author offers as a tool for penetrating the mysteries of alchemy and divinity. The century spanning from 1550 to 1650 saw the publication of hundreds of books with “Speculum”, “Spiegel”, and “Mirror” in their titles, a testament to the technology’s immense power over the European imagination."

  Alchemy, Chemistry, and Paracelsian Practices in the Early Modern Era
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-07-2023, 06:06 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Bridging Traditions
Alchemy, Chemistry, and Paracelsian Practices in the Early Modern Era

Edited by Karen Hunger Parshall, Michael T. Walton, and Bruce T. Moran

“This collection of essays is a fitting tribute to Allen Debus’s radically contrarian and visionary work. On topics ranging from Paracelsian medicine in Spain to the enigma of John Dee, the essays demonstrate that Debus’s legacy continues, though shaped and reshaped by new perspectives."

"Ian Gladwin is one of a small group who have worked together to create and build Pansophers.com which is probably the foremost online resource of knowledge and information about the Rosicrucian Tradition and their modern successors.

Ian will be sharing with us current research that he has been undertaking in a presentation that he is has entitled ‘The Gold and Rosenkreuzer Order’.  Much of what he will be talking about is not widely known and will almost certainly be new to you."
