"The second purpose of my article is to showcase the visual alchemy of Fludd’s artwork. This kind of imagery, often associated with Western esotericism, conveys its
meaning through a distinct semiotic structure. It comprises both literal and metaphorical meaning, though Fludd’s explanations were often quite literal. To illuminate this dualism,
I have chosen to focus on Fludd’s claim that God and the human soul are not parts of Nature and cannot be quantified with numbers."

Tycho Brahe, Helwig Dieterich, Otto Tachenius, and Johann Glauber
by Dr. Curt Wentrup
"Three major objectives of 17th century chemists were the preparation of proper chemicals, the preparation of herbal and inorganic medicines (iatrochemistry), and the making of gold by transmutation of lesser metals. The doctrines of Aristotle and Paracelsus that all things were made from the same, primary constituents, implied the feasibility of transmutation."

"Written by alchemist Michael Maier in 1618, Atalanta Fugiens reinterprets Ovid’s legend of Atalanta as an alchemical allegory in a series of fifty emblems. This remarkable book has recently been reimagined in multimedia form as Furnace and Fugue, a digital critical edition that allows contemporary readers to hear, see, manipulate, and investigate Atalanta Fugiens in ways that were impossible to realize in full before now. How was Atalanta Fugiens imagined by its 17th-century author and reimagined in Furnace and Fugue? What secrets are unlocked when we look at an old book in a new way? These are just some of the topics we tackled during our Alchemical Happy Hour on October 29, 2020."
