"In this comprehensive exploration, we will have a closer look at the fascinating history of herbs within the realms of magic and alchemy. We will uncover how ancient civilisations identified and categorised these potent plants, how they incorporated them into complex alchemical formulas and magical rites, and the enduring legacy of these practices in modern spiritual and holistic traditions. Additionally, we will highlight some of the most revered herbs, such as sage, mandrake, mugwort and their specific roles in ancient and contemporary magical alchemy."

"Alchemy, often regarded as the precursor to modern chemistry, is steeped in mysticism and ancient wisdom. While historically associated with the transmutation of base metals into gold, alchemy is much more than that. At its core, alchemy is about transformation—physical, spiritual, and psychological. Modern witchcraft, with its emphasis on personal empowerment and connection to the natural world, finds resonance in these alchemical principles. In this blog post, we'll explore how these age-old alchemical concepts have found their place in contemporary witchcraft practices."

Why I Chose Maiolica Vessels for the Suit of Cups in The Alchemical Tarot Reimagined
"Besides bowls and plates, the most common objects that the artists chose to decorate were apothecary jars called albarello, and apothecary vases with or without handles. They were designed to hold medicinal herbs, spices, dyes, or ointments and they livened up the shelves of apothecaries in Italy’s cities. The flared lip on the albarello allowed the apothecary to cover the jar with a piece of parchment or cloth and tie it closed with a piece of string. This sealed the contents and kept them fresh. The parchment was often bleached white so that the contents of the jar could be written on it. Sometimes the label was glazed directly onto body of the vessel instead. The apothecary as well as the physician in the Renaissance were both considered to be practicing branches of alchemy (modern chemistry did not emerge from alchemy until the mid-17th century). So, to my mind, it is fair to consider these colorful vases examples of alchemical vessels."
Interesting, beautifully-illustrated article.
