From the Elixir of Life to the Lab Bench: How Elias Ashmole's Alchemical Studies Influenced the Birth of Chemistry
By Noula Karaszi
"This paper explores how Elias Ashmole's dedication to alchemy bridged the mystical and empirical, ultimately influencing the emergence of modern chemistry. By examining his compilation of alchemical texts, personal writings, and the broader intellectual climate of seventeenth-century England, this study reveals how Ashmole's efforts contributed to a gradual epistemological shift. His work helped transform alchemy from a mystical pursuit of immortality into a structured scientific discipline, paving the way for the development of experimental chemistry."

"This ultimate guide will introduce you to Thoth’s origins in ancient Egyptian mythology, his appearance and symbols, his powers and domains, and the famous myths in which he plays a role. We will then explore how Thoth’s legacy carried on through the ages – morphing into Hermes Trismegistus in Greek and Hermetic lore, inspiring occult traditions and Theosophy, and sparking modern speculation that casts him as an Atlantean sage or even a cosmic teacher beyond this world. Prepare to journey through time and spirit as we unveil the story of Thoth in both ancient myth and modern mysticism, all in a tone befitting the mystical scribe of the gods."

| The Healer: Elizabeth Coates Paschall on Market Street |

"Elizabeth became one of the most prominent women healers in Philadelphia. Two years after her father’s death, at the age of 19, she married Joseph Paschall, the grandson of Thomas Paschall Sr., an apothecary, pewterer, and alchemist who joined William Penn’s 1682 fleet that sailed to Pennsylvania from Bristol, England. Thomas Paschall Jr., Joseph’s father, ran a mill west of Philadelphia and served in the Pennsylvania Assembly. Joseph similarly grew up in a Quaker family, and when Joseph and Elizabeth married, the two moved into the Coates house on Market Street that Elizabeth had inherited from her father. Elizabeth learned alchemical and medical practices from Joseph and his brothers, augmenting what she had already learned from her parents, especially her mother Beulah."
