  Ancient Egyptian Alchemy and Science
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-16-2025, 10:43 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

By Esat Goceri

"The ancient Egyptians had many advanced scientific technologies, with much being found in picture form and in three-dimensional models throughout Egypt. Themes reflecting scientific knowledge and achievement can be found throughout the world in various ancient civilizations.
These teachings seemed to center on electromagnetic energies."

This famous alchemical engraving by Wolfgang Kilian from the 17th century titled “Auri Potabilis Chimice Praeparati”, which translates to “The Chemical Preparation of Drinkable Gold (The Golden Elixir)”. This illustration is taken from the alchemical medical manuscript Microcosmus Hypochondriacus by Malachias Geiger (1652).

Disappointing coverage of his esoteric interests in the literature:

Adam, do you know his work at all well?

  Alchemy Rising: The Green Book
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-13-2025, 12:46 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Alchemy Rising: The Green Book is the first in a projected trilogy by the alchemist Heliophilus that aims to unveil the Sacred Art. Alchemy is the central pillar of Hermeticism, essential for both understanding and undertaking the magical work of the Western tradition, which is steeped in its symbolism. As such, the initiatory lessons of this opening volume comprise a valuable addition to the library and laboratory of alchemist, herbalist, magician or witch."

  Divine Tree symbols in alchemical texts
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-13-2025, 12:37 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"In the magical domain of alchemy, seven divine tree symbols hold powerful meanings. The Kalpavriksha, a wish-fulfilling tree, embodies abundance, while the Philosophical Tree represents cosmic order. Ever heard of Yggdrasil? It’s the Norse world tree, connecting life’s cycles. Mercury’s Serpent illustrates transformation, capturing the essence of rebirth. Salt grounds us, and sulfur ignites our passion. Alchemical trees serve as guides for spiritual enlightenment. Want to uncover even more tree mystique?"

  What do the elements represent in alchemy?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-13-2025, 12:36 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Alright, settle in, aspiring mages and potion-slinging enthusiasts! We’re diving deep into the philosophical cauldron today, dissecting the very foundations of alchemy: its elements. Forget your periodic table for a moment, because in the world of transforming lead into gold (figuratively, of course… mostly), the elements represent far more than just atoms and molecules. They are fundamental principles, qualities of existence, and stages of a transformative process. They are, in essence, the building blocks of the spiritual and physical universe."
