"Alchemy is one of the most intriguing traditions in human history. Often misunderstood as merely a quest to turn lead into gold, alchemy is actually a vast spiritual, philosophical, and symbolic system. It weaves together science, mysticism, psychology, and personal transformation. If you feel drawn to this ancient path, you might ask: How do I study alchemy in the modern world?"

'While the grand alchemical traditions of China, India, the Islamic world, and Western Europe are well-known, Russian alchemy remains a relatively obscure yet fascinating thread in the tapestry of global esotericism. Russian alchemical thought absorbed ancient, medieval, and Renaissance influences, adapting them to a unique cultural context marked by Orthodox Christianity, Slavic folklore, scientific exploration, and mystical philosophy. This article explores the operative and speculative dimensions of Russian alchemy, its historical development."

"There are no universal stages of alchemy as every soul experience is different, I've complied a list of stages I've personally gone thru."

"In the fifth century a Christian sect called the Nestorians, who followed Nestorius, a Patriarch of Constantinople, were declared heretical and broke with the established church. This sect migrated to Persia with Greek manuscripts and translated Greek texts to Syriac Aramaic, monopolizing medicine and incidentally bringing alchemical literature to Persia. This knowledge would be added to the works the Arabs would find in Alexandria, Egypt, and the Golden Age dawned over the Islamic world."

Reason Tried by Fire: The Rota Alphabetalis and Other Logical and Mnemonic Devices in the Pseudo-Lullian Alchemical Codicillus
Autori

Diego Gorini González Università del Salento, Lecce – Universität zu Köln



"This article explores the Codicillus, a pivotal yet understudied text within the pseudo-Lullian alchemical corpus, dating back to the mid-fourteenth century. The aim is to present the conceptual development of the alchemical doctrine contained in the work by elucidating its key logical and mnemonic devices. These include the three alchemical principles (material, demonstrative and operative), the division of the opus in four stages, the so-called ‘science of middles and extremes’, and an alphabetical wheel of the elements. Through this analysis, the Codicillus emerges as a remarkable instance of operational rationality in medieval experimental science, as well as an early application of the ‘Art of Memory’ to alchemy."

"Françoise Bonardel s’interroge, à la suite de Fulcanelli, sur la récurrence des motifs alchimiques dans nos églises chrétiennes… L’alchimie était-elle mieux acceptée hier qu’elle ne l’est aujourd’hui ? Extrait d'un exposé intitulé « Art et alchimie, un lien entre macrocosme et microcosme »..."

Review by Geneviève Dumas

"A. Calvet a commis ici un bel ouvrage, dont la force réside dans un dialogue fertile entre récits biographiques, filiation des idées et analyse des théories et des pratiques. Écrit dans une langue expressive où le sens de la formule est indéniable, il sera lu avec plaisir par les néophytes éclairés, utilisé et amplement cité par les chercheurs."

"To many, alchemy is nothing more than an outdated pseudoscience. But what if that belief is part of the disguise?"

"The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a short horror novel (51,500 words) by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in early 1927, but not published during the author's lifetime. Set in Lovecraft's hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, it was first published (in abridged form) in the May and July issues of Weird Tales in 1941; the first complete publication was in Arkham House's Beyond the Wall of Sleep collection (1943). It is included in the Library of America volume of Lovecraft's work.The novel, set in 1928, describes how Charles Dexter Ward becomes obsessed with his distant ancestor, Joseph Curwen, an alleged wizard with unsavory habits. Ward physically resembles Curwen, and attempts to duplicate his ancestor's Qabalistic and alchemical feats. He eventually uses this knowledge to physically resurrect Curwen. Ward's doctor, Marinus Bicknell Willett, investigates Ward's activities and is horrified by what he finds."
