A Sense of Wunder-: The Divine Construction of Rudolf II’s Kunstkammer

By Zoya Brumberg

"In this paper, I look at the ways that the Kunst- und Wunderkammers of the European Renaissance evoked animistic, spiritual understandings of the materials of the universe, and by doing so, functioned as divine spaces for their creators."

  WB Yeats as Alchemical Poet and Magician

A Vision: Key to Yeats as Alchemical Poet and Magician

By Sarah Fuhro

"Conflicts and oppositions in Yeats' life and chart were healed and regarded in a new light through his experience with the channeled material he received and recorded in A Vision. This was the culmination of an alchemical process of soul work. His training as astrologer and occult philosopher allowed him to be able to read the messages of the spirits and the reception coincided with astrological indicators. His physical marriage with Georgie Hyde-Lees provided the necessary cauldron for the alchemical work to take place."
