"The Dragon of the Alchemists by Frederick Carter is a striking exploration of one of alchemy’s most powerful and mysterious symbols: the dragon. Through vivid analysis of alchemical imagery, mythology and spiritual tradition, Carter reveals how the dragon represents the primal forces of nature, the struggle between spirit and matter, the transformative fire at the heart of the Great Work. Blending art, symbolism and esoteric insight, this book offers a compelling window into the hidden language of the alchemists. Ideal for newcomers drawn to the deeper meaning behind alchemical emblems and the inner journey of spiritual transformation."

| Google Arts & Culture: The Ripley Scroll |

"he Ripley Scroll is an extraordinary manuscript, nearly 6 metres long, that describes how to make the fabled Philosopher's Stone. It is named after George Ripley, a medieval canon of Bridlington Priory, Yorkshire, who reputedly wrote a text known as The Compound of Alchymy. The scroll is full of mystical symbolism. The precise meanings of the alchemical icons are not completely understood and it is clear that some of its imagery is deliberately obscure. Only those who have dedicated their lives to Alchemy have any hope of deciphering its secrets."

| The Emerald Tablets of Thoth The Atlantean |

"The history of the Emerald Tablets is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years B.C. The author is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King who founded a colony in ancient Egypt, wrote the Emerald Tablets in his native Atlantean language which was translated by Dr. Michael Doreal. This edition of the Emerald Tablets is unique in that it includes both the translation and interpretation by Dr. Doreal. Because of the tablet's reference to the Egypt and sacred geometry they became a priority reference for those studying the Flower of Life and the Merkaba meditation."

| The Art of Egyptian High Alchemy |

"Egyptian High Alchemy is system of internal alchemy based upon the understandings of ancient Egypt. One of the fundamental tasks of any Egyptian alchemist was to strengthen his or her KA (energy body) as this action increased spiritual power. High Alchemy uses many of the same energetic processes for building the KA but adds an important element—the BA (or Celestial Soul). This relationship between the individual and his or her “higher aspects” insures that the powers gained through strengthening of the KA are used for the benefit of both oneself and others and also greatly inhibits the misuse of personal power."

by Ugur Gurgan (Author)
"The supreme error of modern man is to perceive technology as sterile and soulless, much like a rational chemistry laboratory. Yet code is a mirror of the programmer who gazes into it and of the collective subconscious of humanity. This work initiates a shattering vertical ascent, charting a path from the late 16th-century theosophical engravings of Heinrich Khunrath to the cold code blocks of modern Silicon Valleys. It melts the human psyche, urban architecture, and the future of artificial intelligence within a single Hermetic crucible, challenging the reader to transcend raw materialism."

"Terry Burns, PhD is a professor of literature emeritus and teacher (editor & translator) of Dr John Dee's famous and mysterious opus, MONAS HIEROGLYPHICA OF JOHN DEE (Ouroboros Press). Her friend and mentor, Vincent Bridges, published a book on Sir Edward Kelley that has long been out of print and may soon, thanks to Dr Burns, be returned to us all soon. Tonight Terry and Frater RC deep dive into the life of Kelly/Kelley and will also review some highlights of Bridges' work on Kelly."

Aspects of the Relationship between Alchemy and Christianity in Byzantium
By Gerasimos Merianos
"Since Antiquity, alchemy has been closely intertwined with religious beliefs and practices. The designation ‘sacred and divine art’, employed by alchemical authorities in late antique and Byzantine times, is most revealing about this connection. The sacred art gradually adapted to a Christian cultural milieu, leading to the Christianization of alchemical ideas. This paper explores the interplay between alchemy and Christianity in Byzantium, providing a discussion of key themes that unveil complex dynamics."

"Five hundred years after his birth, Paracelsus remains one of the most influential physicians to have emerged from the European tradition. As a contemporary of Kepler, Copernicus, Da Vinci and Erasmus, he walked fully in the light of the European Renaissance, illuminating it further with the power of his own personality. Though reviled in his own day by a complacent and elitist medical orthodoxy, his contributions to medicinal chemistry, herbal and mineral therapeutics, epidemiology, and psychological medicine continue to reverberate into the present time. This three-part essay reviewing the life and times of this extraordinary medical reformer and physician was originally published in the Australian Journal of Medical Herbalism, Vol. 6 (1-3) 1994 as an offering in celebration of the 500th anniversary of his birth."
