  The Alchemist's Prayer
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-12-2023, 03:03 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

“Oh, most singular and unspeakable Presence, first and last in the universe, heighten the fury of my fire and burn away the dross of my being. Cleanse my soiled soul. Bathe me in your awesome Light. Set me free from my past; cut me loose from my boundaries. Unite me with the One Thing hidden in my life, where in is my only strength. Fill me with your Presence. Allow me to see through your Eye; grant me entry to your Mind; let me resonate with your Sacred Will. Make me transparent to your flame, and fashion me into a lens for your Light only. Transmute me into an incorruptible Stone in your eternal service, like the Golden Light that surrounds you.”

  Testing the New Historiography of Alchemy (Kenelm Digby)
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-12-2023, 02:53 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In the last two decades, a new framework for the study of alchemy, challenging the older Jungian views, has been taking shape by the efforts of two American
historians of science, Lawrence Principe and William Newman. The present paper intends to test this new framework through a case study of a 17th century
English natural philosopher named Kenelm Digby. In the light of my results, the new metanarrative of alchemy draws a false picture of the discipline, as alchemy was a complex philosophical system with its own religious and cultural connotations."
