  Video: The Sigil Magic of Paracelsus
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-05-2024, 03:57 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Paracelsus is renowned as one of the most important innovators in alchemical and medical theory in European history. But, he also earned a reputation as a sorcerer. This reputation as not only a healer but also a magus, rests squarely on a curious volume of talismanic magic known as the Archidoxis Magica first printed in 1591 and rendered into English by Robert Turner as Of the Supreme Mysteries of Nature in 1656."
