  The Central Role of Intent in Alchemical Practice
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-08-2025, 02:24 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

" Today, I will dissect a prevalent but often overlooked mistake that risks derailing your alchemical pursuits: neglecting the precise harmony between internal intent and external process. This error, subtle yet profound, can lead to dissonance within the transmutation endeavor, ultimately sabotaging the practitioner's goals"

  How Alchemy influenced Herbal Medicine
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-08-2025, 02:20 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Long before pharmaceutical texts, herbals—illustrated books describing plants and their medicinal uses—were essential guides for healers. Works such as Apuleius Barbarus’s Herbarium Apulei and Dioscorides De Materia Medica cataloged centuries of herbal knowledge. Alchemists drew heavily from these texts, experimenting with extractions, distillations, and fermentations to create more concentrated remedies. These processes gave rise to elixirs, tinctures, and essences—predecessors of modern herbal extracts still used today."

  Oswald Croll's Universal Medicine
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-05-2025, 09:48 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Word of God and the Universal Medicine in the Chemical Philosophy of Oswald Croll," in: Alchemy and Rudolf II: Exploring the Secrets of Nature in Central Europe in the 16th and 17th Centuries, ed. Ivo Purs & Vlasimir Karpenko (Prague: Artefactum, 2016), 381-385.

By Hiro Hira

"Under a political mission of the radical Calvinist prince Christian of Anhalt-Bernburg, Oswald Croll (ca. 1560-1608) settled in Prague until his death and frequented the court of Rudolf II, where he composed his masterpiece, "Basilica chymica" (Frankfurt, 1609). Croll occupied a singular place in the Paracelsian movement."

  Workshop Review: Alchemy in the Islamicate World
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-05-2025, 09:45 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"The Gotha Manuscript Workshop on alchemy in the Islamicate world facilitated in-depth discussions among scholars about the significance of unedited alchemical texts and the rich manuscript tradition from the Islamic period. The workshop highlighted the need for extensive research on alchemical heritage, particularly emphasizing the gaps in available manuscripts and the necessity for comparative studies on alchemical terminology and its practical applications. Additionally, the event fostered collaboration between specialists of Islamic and European alchemy, promoting the publication of bilingual editions of key texts in this field."

  Alchemy and the Qur'an
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 01:09 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"For my master's thesis, i decided to specialize in alchemical symbolism, tracing it through the work of modern american poets and mystics, but the deeper i went, the more i realized that i had to return to the (often unmentioned) source texts—particularly texts written in arabic. As i dug through manuscripts and compared translations, something became clear: many european alchemical writings—especially popular translations of the emerald tablet—were riddled with misreadings, mistranslations, and erasures, and the arabic originals told a vastly different story."

This multi-elemental flame can be used to transmute energies and frequencies that may be hindering (blocking) you in a variety of ways, be they frequencies you came into this lifetime with or otherwise."
