  Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.2.47
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2026, 09:38 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The short alchemical treatises and recipes are mostly in Latin and Middle English, but, unusually for an early 15th-century English manuscript, there are alchemical recipes in a dialect of Old Spanish, perhaps Catalan. These texts, which sometimes include Latin words, appear on ff. 32v, 35r, 50r and 50v. They appear to have been copied by the main scribe. One of the texts is attributed, perhaps spuriously, to the Spanish philosopher and polymath Ramon Llull, although Trinity MS O.2.47 is not recorded in the corpus of manuscripts currently known to preserve his works. Further research on these contents is required."

  How gold was used in medieval medicine

"Separate real medieval gold remedies from alchemy, status, and myth, and see why historical medical claims need careful context and source checks."

  So Potent Art: The Magic of Shakespeare
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-27-2026, 09:40 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"There are a lot of books about Shakespeare, and there are a lot of books about magic, but Emily Carding’s [i]So Potent Art: The Magic of Shakespeare[/i] does something rather special: it brings the two together in a way that feels both intelligent and alive. This is not just a book about witches in [i]Macbeth[/i] or fairies in [i]A Midsummer Night’s Dream[/i]. Those familiar examples are here, of course, but Carding goes much further. The book explores the magical, occult and esoteric currents that run through Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets, including astrology, alchemy, Hermeticism, prophecy, herbalism, ghosts, witchcraft, divine intervention and the symbolic power of theatre itself."

  Liber Alchemiae by Ben Selvaggio
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-27-2026, 09:32 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Liber Alchemiae: The Codex of the Great Work is a symbolic system of inner transformation presented through a structured oracle deck and guidebook. Drawing from alchemical principles, Jungian psychology, and personal symbolic experience, it maps the process by which the psyche breaks down, reorganizes, and integrates into a more coherent whole. Each card represents a distinct phase, force, or mechanism within this process—ranging from dissolution (Nigredo), purification (Albedo), and integration (The Vessel), to structural forces like The Word, The Abyss, and The Threshold."

  YouTube: Paganism in Britain
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2026, 08:34 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Finding Paganism, 2026 documentary by Jamie Davies

"From traditional witches to Druids to modern WitchTok, Jamie discovers what it means to be Pagan in the UK today, and how it is impacted by advancements like growing urban environments, AI and the internet."

"Produced by Conscious Productions and directed by Emma Jane Gray, the film journeys through a fascinating landscape of modern Pagan practice, meeting Druids, witches, Heathens, spiritual practitioners, and educators while exploring how ancient traditions continue to evolve in the modern world. As part of the documentary, Jamie visits Watkins Books—one of the world's oldest and most celebrated esoteric bookshops, to explore the role that books, ideas, and sacred knowledge continue to play within contemporary spiritual communities."

  Artist: Maja Ruznic
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-19-2026, 11:11 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Over the last months, Ruznic has returned to active imagination, a practice associated with Jungian analysis, and to Edward Edinger’s 1985 book Anatomy of the Psyche: alchemical symbolism in psychotherapy. Edinger describes alchemy as the “anatomy of the psyche,” linking the search for the philosopher’s stone to psychological transformation. For Ruznic, this framework makes painting a site of change. The canvas behaves as an alchemical vessel where raw impulses are recast, while the painted surface records the reaction."
