"The Thesis examines the symbolism, and the sources of that symbolism, in the poetry and
painting of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Chapter 1 considers the significance of the title of
Rossetti's sonnet-sequence The House of Life. Chapter 2 looks at the opening sonnets of
that sequence. Chapter 3 scrutinises the sonnet quartet of the Willow-wood sequence.
Chapter 4 evaluates the influence of Platonism and Neoplatonism in Rossetti's art. Chapter
5 is concerned with Rossetti's use of allegory. Chapter 6 surveys the influence of
Rosicrucianism on Rossetti and his immediate circle of the Preraphaelite Brotherhood, and
on the Aesthetic School that succeeded it. This chapter closely examines the symbolic
motifs of Rosicrucianism, and how these may be traced in the paintings of these artists.
Chapter 7 explores the Rosicrucian influence in Rossetti's poetry. Chapter 8 further traces
these influences in Rossetti's painting. Chapter 9 investigates the Goddess figure within
Rossetti's later paintings."

Thesis by Olivia Jane Heppel

"In 1614, Count Palatine Michael Maier published Arcana Arcanissima, the Most
Secret Mysteries in which he analyzes mythological stories through an alchemical lens to
discover the Christian truths which they hold. This text is referenced throughout
scholarship on Maier, but no one has translated it into English. Maier is famous for works
such as the Atalanta Fugiens, and his depth and breadth of mythological and alchemical
scholarship is profound. This study focuses on one chapter from Arcana Arcanissima on
the Trojan War to discover Maier’s analyses of myth, alchemy, and religion."

England. I analyze poetic representations of transgressive sexuality by William Shakespeare,
Edmund Spenser, John Donne, Thomas Nashe, and Thomas Carew."

"Samael Aun Weor holds that alchemy is, strictly speaking, a sexual sacred practice, to sublimate the inferior, grotesque human energies (ens seminis) and transmute them into gold. This technique would consist of not fornicating, that is to say, spilling the seminal fluids, but making them ascend through the spine towards the brain. The chalice of all religions esoterically represents the sacred wines of the gods, the elixir of immortality. Aun Weor reveals in one of his several books about alchemy, La Piedra Filosofal o el Secreto de los Alquimistas, the symbolic connection between woman and the Grail: “There is no doubt either that in the Cup or Chalice, the Holy Grail as it is known, for which the Medieval knights fought when they left towards the Holy Land during the times of the Eucharistic Crusades, represents the feminine Yoni, the eternal feminine (…) they never found it, obviously” (Aun Weor, K, 2012: 261)."

"A ground-breaking modern manual on an ancient art, Real Alchemy draws on both modern scientific technology and ancient methods. A laboratory scientist and chemist, Robert Allen Bartlett provides an overview of the history of alchemy, as well as an exploration of the theories behind the practice. Clean, clear, simple, and easy to read, Real Alchemy provides excellent directions regarding the production of plant products and transitions the reader-student into the basics of mineral work–what some consider the true domain of alchemy. New students to practical laboratory alchemy will enjoy reading Real Alchemy and hopefully find the encouragement needed to undertake their own alchemical journey. Bartlett also explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term “Philosopher’s Stone” and describes several very real and practical methods for its achievement. Is the fabled Philosopher’s Stone an elixir of long life or is it a method of transforming lead into gold? Judge for yourself."
