"My work explores themes of  spiritual transformation and sacred knowledge through Neo-Renaissance Mysticism Art. Inspired by alchemy, theology, Freemasonry and Rosicrucian traditions, I reimagine the techniques of the Old Masters through my digital paintings to create allegorical works that invite viewers into a sacred and contemplative space."

  Video: Mutus Liber
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-17-2025, 04:05 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The 1677 Mutus Liber (Silent or Wordless Book) is among the most enduringly enigmatic and popular books of alchemy.  Composed in the twilight of alchemical theory and practice, it seems to present a method for producing the Stone of the Philosopher's using Spring Dew gathered and transformed by Masculine and Feminine alchemists."

"Chaos King is the second book in the Infinity Alchemist duology. There is great political strain in the world of alchemy, as anti-alchemists make a stand..If you are a lover of alchemy, young adult fantasy, or need something in the LGBTQ realm, this duology is for you!"

  Tapestries: Jean Lurçat and Leonora Carrington
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-17-2025, 03:32 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Drawing from medieval iconography, astronomy, and alchemical symbology, Lurçat’s compositions were not simply decorative but metaphysical cartographies...If Lurçat’s wall offered a cosmological map, Leonora Carrington’s tapestries became wombs of the unconscious — a dreamlike weaving of myth, magic, and womanhood."

  Kitāb Ḥall mushkilāt al-Shudhūr
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-15-2025, 08:11 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

The alchemist Abū l-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Mūsā al-Anṣārī al-Andalusī, known as Ibn Arfaʿ Raʾs (fl. 6th/12th century) is the author of Shudhūr al-dhahab (The Splinters of Gold), one of the most famous poetry collections of Arabic alchemy, which has been the object of no less than thirteen commentaries. The numerous manuscripts of Shudhūr al-dhahab and its commentaries have been read and copied for more than 700 years in various parts of the Islamicate world, from Morocco to India.

The very first commentary on Shudhūr al-dhahab was composed by the author Ibn Arfaʿ Raʾs himself. It was transmitted by his disciple Abū l-Qāsim Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī under the title Kitāb Ḥall mushkilāt al-Shudhūr (The Unraveling of the Difficulties of ‘The Splinters’) and is extant in at least 31 manuscripts, of which 27 have been taken into account for this critical edition. This book provides the first edition of Kitāb Ḥall mushkilāt al-Shudhūr, along with an Arabic-English glossary of its alchemical terminology.

  Keith Schuette: Alchemical Matters
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-15-2025, 08:06 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Alchemical Matters: Essays on the Precursor to Modern Chemistry

"Ever wonder what the alchemists were talking about? Alchemical Matters: Essays on the Precursor to Modern Chemistry provides in-depth background information, useful hints, and tips. The collection of essays delves into the possible chemistry of the alchemist's recipes for the transmutation of metals and the concocting of elixirs, the apparatus employed, and the theories used to explain their observations. Alchemical Matters, then, is a useful source of general information for the beginning student of alchemy but is, as well, a valuable interpretative tool for those pursuing a more in-depth study of the enigmatic precursor to modern chemistry."
