"This essay delves into Antoni Tàpies’s profound engagement with non-dualism, a philosophical stance encapsulated in the aphorism “samsara is nirvana and nirvana is samsara.” Tàpies’s exploration of non-dualism, which integrates diverse spiritual and philosophical traditions, profoundly shaped his artistic practice and worldview. Drawing from Western hermeticism and Eastern philosophies such as Hindu Advaita and Zen Buddhism, Tàpies embraced non-dual consciousness as a guiding principle in his art."

"Jupiter having intended to marry Heaven and Earth, and to make them equal in virtue and in dignity, so that one became absolutely equal to the other, resolved to make use of a God, in order to operate astonishing things."

"As I have a title with cultural and historic relevance still invested with my powers as Seigneur, it allows me to even establish a Priory on the lands within my fief. So, I have decided that the Seigneurie should serve as an international platform, a high priory, for those who are deeply committed to the study and exploration of the inner Grail, Alchemy, and related traditions. In doing so, they will be able to connect directly with an institution that is rooted in the same ancient practices."

"We’ve just added some copies of De Natura Rerum from Aula Lucis Press which has previously been sold out at Miskatonic Books. De Natura Rerum, or Nine Books on the Nature of Things, was composed in order to assist the aspiring alchemist and hermetic philosopher in recognising what lies hidden in Nature, and how to induce Nature to be helpful in the Art of Alchemy. Comprising nine tracts on the Generation, Growth, Preservation, Life, Death, Resurrection, Transmutation, Separation, and Signature of all natural things, it is a veritable treasure house of natural lore for all diligent students of the Spagyric Art to draw upon, and to apply in their practice."

“Paradoxes, Absurdities, and Madness”: Conflict over Alchemy, Magic and Medicine in the Works of Andreas Libavius and Heinrich Khunrath

Peter Forshaw

Both Andreas Libavius and Heinrich Khunrath graduated from Basel Medical Academy in 1588, though the theses they defended reveal antithetical approaches to medicine, despite their shared interests in iatrochemistry and transmutational alchemy. Libavius argued in favour of Galenic allopathy while Khunrath promoted the contrasting homeopathic approach of Paracelsus and the utility of the occult doctrine of Signatures for medical purposes. This article considers these differences in the two graduates' theses, both as intimations of their subsequent divergent notions of the boundaries of alchemy and its relations with medicine and magic, and also as evidence of the surprisingly unstable academic status of Paracelsian philosophy in Basel, its main publishing centre, at the end of the sixteenth century.
