  Bartholomew Schobinger
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-08-2024, 03:15 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Perhaps Schobinger's most extraordinary contribution to science was his development of a recipe that led to the creation of an early form of plastic. This recipe, utilized by Benedictine monk Wolfgang Seidel to produce 'Kunsthorn', marked the early stages of what we know today as plastic. This ingenuity underscores Schobinger's role as a visionary in material science, far ahead of his time."

  Video: Order of the Alchemists, Knights of Malta & Cagliostro
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-08-2024, 02:50 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Almost everybody is now aware of the infamous history of the Knights Templar. But not everybody realizes that there was another Order from the same time and with the same roots. This Order still exists today and has incredible power. This film reveals the true history of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and in so doing, we discover occult and sinister forces at play. From the days of heroic battles against Ottoman forces, to the alchemical world of the Grand Master himself, this film explores some very difficult questions: Who are these Knights? What was their role? Who gave them authority? The story of the Knights of Malta is filled with mystery, intrigue and excitement. Come with us on a journey into the heart of battle. Featuring cutting-edge computer generated reconstructions and exclusive footage filmed in the Order's Sacra Infirmeria, Church's, Cathedral's, Castle's and grand buildings throughout Europe."

  Horapollo
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-06-2024, 04:01 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

Horapollo (from Horus Apollo; Greek: Ὡραπόλλων) is the supposed author of a treatise, titled Hieroglyphica, on Egyptian hieroglyphs, extant in a Greek translation by one Philippus, dating to about the 5th century.

Not specifically alchemical, but undoubtedly a source of much subsequent alchemical symbolism.

  Video: The Sigil Magic of Paracelsus
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-05-2024, 03:57 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Paracelsus is renowned as one of the most important innovators in alchemical and medical theory in European history. But, he also earned a reputation as a sorcerer. This reputation as not only a healer but also a magus, rests squarely on a curious volume of talismanic magic known as the Archidoxis Magica first printed in 1591 and rendered into English by Robert Turner as Of the Supreme Mysteries of Nature in 1656."
