  Cambridge Digital Library: Medieval Medical Recipes
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 10:37 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Curious Cures in Cambridge Libraries is a Wellcome-funded project to conserve, catalogue and digitise 186 medieval manuscripts that contain in excess of 8,000 unedited medical recipes. In addition, it will harness cutting-edge Handwritten Text Recognition technology by using Transkribus to produce full-text transcriptions of these recipes. This will open their contents to health researchers in the humanities and social sciences, enabling keyword and faceted searching and detailed comparative analysis on a scale not possible hitherto. This will not only help researchers to pinpoint recipes relevant to their work, but will also enable them to understand how this kind of medical knowledge evolved, how recipes were tried and tested over time, and what connections might exist between such practical recipe books and scholarly medical treatises."

  The Alchemy of Burnout
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 10:30 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In Alchemical Psychology, James Hillman shares, "If alchemy is the art of fire, and alchemists, “artists of fire,” as many texts repeat, then the alchemist must be able to “know” all the kinds of fire, degrees of fire, sources of fire, fuels of fire."

Let us then approach burnout through the lucid eyes of the alchemist, knowing that the magnum opus (the great work of life) requires an intimate knowing and careful tending of fire. It fuels their efforts, both outwardly in the flames of the furnace, and inwardly, through the careful application of their devotion, attention, effort. Their fluency ensures they are not careless, for it has dire consequences — the prima materia destroyed prematurely, the process rushed beyond its natural progression, stalling out because you haven’t raised the heat enough.

  The Abramelin operation and alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 10:17 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"When we look at this operation through the lens of alchemical theurgy it looks much closer to the practice we are aiming for than any of the previous practices we have looked at. The process of purification is very similar to that which we see in alchemy. When conducting an alchemical operation, the steps may not be exactly the same as those presented by Abramelin but the intended goal of purification is the same. It is purifying your body and spirit and showing the higher powers you are working with that you are worthy of conducting the operation. This purification includes both that of the user’s body and spirit, the location being used, the building, the tools and any other items that may be used during the operation."

"The Royal Art Society is a global fellowship dedicated to symbolic alchemy, meditation, and the pursuit of wisdom. Our tradition transforms the “base metals” of ordinary life into the “gold” of clarity, empowerment, and illumination. Membership is open to all. Candidacy is free, and the journey unfolds across three grades—each a step deeper into the Mysteries of East and West, guided by meditation and evidence-based practice."

  Updated EB article: Renaissance Magic and Science
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 10:09 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Christian legend and myth also found fertile ground in the practices of alchemy. Through the perfection of metals the alchemists sought their own perfection and, indeed, the salvation of all matter. The alchemist sought to dissolve and then fuse his own physical matter and spirit with the prime matter of the universe. These efforts at the reduction into prime matter were thought to make possible the re-creation of individual and cosmos as a single, pure element. Even the philosopher’s stone or elixir was reinterpreted so that Christ appeared as the perfect matter produced by the alchemical process—that is, Christ was the stone of all wisdom and knowledge. In the alchemist’s spiritual forge, the Stone reemerged from the Matrix, the crucible containing the so-called Bath of Mary, whose amniotic fluids dissolved all impurities"
