  Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-28-2025, 12:05 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - Replies (2)

"Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas” by Dr. Joseph Farrell and Dr. Scott de Hart explores the deep connections between ancient alchemical traditions and modern scientific endeavors, particularly in genetics and transhumanism, suggesting that contemporary technologies are extensions of ancient practices aimed at transcending human limitations."

  Avicenna's contribution to alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-27-2025, 11:58 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This article provides information on the use of chemical compounds in the preparation of medicines in the works of the great oriental scientist Abu Ali ibn Sino. Abu Ali ibn Sino, a renowned thinker of the East who made a great contribution to the development of chemistry, was one of the founders of medicine, pharmacology and alchemy. Abu Ali al-Hussein ibn Sino was born in 980 in the village of Afshana, near Bukhara. Ibn Sino studied at a Muslim school in Bukhara and then supplemented his education by reading books independently. In particular, he was fond of medicine. As an alchemist, Ibn Sino was familiar with the use of various chemicals for treatment and categorically denied that ordinary metals could be converted to gold and silver."

  Video: What Alchemical Symbols REALLY Mean
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-27-2025, 11:28 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Alchemical symbols weren’t just cryptic marks for ancient chemistry—they held powerful spiritual meaning, transformation codes, and forbidden truths hidden from the masses. In this video, we decode what alchemical symbols really mean and why they were cloaked in secrecy. From sulfur and mercury to the philosopher's stone, these symbols represent deep psychological, cosmic, and spiritual forces that still shape hidden knowledge today. This is the esoteric language of inner power—and it was never meant for everyone to understand."

  Cotnoir Online Course: Myth in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-27-2025, 11:26 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

Myth in Alchemy: From Homer to the Chymical Gods: A Four-Week Live, Online Course with Alchemist Brian Cotnoir, Begins April 7.

Throughout the practice of western alchemy, myths, the stories of the gods and goddesses, were used to explain the forces at work in alchemical transmutation. It was thought that these stories cloaked deeper meanings that would, if understood properly, reveal the way forward in the work of perfecting matter and the soul.

Of interest are the sources of myth used by renaissance artists like Durer and alchemists like Maier in their depictions of the dieties. We will look at texts such as Boccaccio's Genealogy of the Pagan Gods, Cartari's Images of the Pagan Gods, and the work that started the Emblem Books, The Hieroglyphics of Horapollo.

This will prepare us to better understand the 50 emblems in Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens a most remarkable alchemical text of image, music, and poetry in the service of alchemical transmutation.

This four-part course will examine the use of myth, its origins and development into a symbolic language of alchemy and will trace a few examples of myth and show how it is interpreted as not just a metaphor but as an actual physical process.
