  Online event: How To Be an Alchemical Artist
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-29-2025, 10:16 AM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

Sunday, February 2 from 12-2pm ET ~ How To Be an Alchemical Artist

"Many of you know that my beloved, Ari Kuschnir, and I are collaborators in life and art. We make mandalas, paintings, poems, AI videos, books, movies, and many other things. What unites us in this passion for creativity is the belief that sacred art—not just the appreciation of it, but the mass making of it—is the way to the golden age of LIFE and LOVE we all desire!"

  Medicinal Alchemy, circa 1512
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-29-2025, 10:13 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"During the Middle Ages, alchemists developed sophisticated ways to tap the medicinal powers of the Earth’s bounty. Liber de Arte Distillandi, published in 1512, is a layman’s guide to the preparation of these natural medicines."

Needs a sub.

  Video: In-Depth Analysis of the Psychology of Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-29-2025, 10:11 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The alchemists claimed that they explained "the obscure by the more obscure, the unknown by the more unknown", and accordingly, the secrets of the alchemical work have remained largely a mystery to the public consciousness. While most think of alchemy as charlatanism, the promise to "turn lead into gold", this is far from the truth, and fails to grapple with the immense scientific, spiritual and cultural impact that alchemy has had on Western civilization. The psychologist Carl Jung was perhaps an unexpected figure to attempt to unriddle the symbols and imagery of the alchemical texts. Nevertheless, Carl Jung's volume, Psychology & Alchemy attempts to do just that, putting forward the idea that the alchemical texts are a treasure trove of psychic projection, and unconscious communication with the self. Join me for part one of our deep dive into the Jungian interpretation of alchemy, where we will learn the basic concepts of alchemy, the stages of the alchemical work, the alchemical correspondence thinking as regards the substances they worked with, and the psychological interpretation by which Jung makes sense of it all."

  Un portrait redécouvert de Sendivogius
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2025, 10:52 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Un portrait redécouvert de Michael Sendivogius, alchimiste de l’empereur Rodolphe II

Philippe MALGOUYRES

"[Sauvageot] a soigneusement consigné dans son Journal d’entrée tous ses achats, dont le portrait qui nous intéresse ici, acquis en 1851 pour 60 francs et décrit ainsi : « 2403 : portrait d’homme tête nue vêtement noir XVIe siècle ». Sauvageot omet de signaler que cet homme inconnu porte au col une chaîne avec une médaille de Rodolphe II, clairement identifiable par son inscription."

  Journeys With Alchemists & Alternative Spiritual Masters
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2025, 04:22 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Russell Yoder's roots are in the radical Pietist tradition of Ephrata* and the Universalist tradition of his Family's ancestral mentor and mage, George de Benneville**. Common to both aspects of this heritage is an awareness of "alchemy" as a tool for effecting physical and spiritual change in our perceived reality -- perception being the key, of course; or as our seminal source of inspiration, Jacob Boehme has it,"our world must be made heaven, and heaven the world."


https://www.amazon.com/Journeys-Alchemis...1729593852


* Ephrata in Pennsylvania is noteworthy for having been the former seat of the Mystic Order of the Solitary, a semimonastic order of Seventh-Day Dunkers. The community, which contained both men and women, was founded by Johann Conrad Beissel in 1732.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephrata_Cloister


** De Benneville:
"Born in London on July 25, 1703 to aristocratic Huguenot French parents in the court of Queen Anne, de Benneville served as a sailor during his adolescent years, traveling around the world and began to question his religion and compare it to other world religions. He shed his Huguenot religion, developed his own ideas about Christianity, and became a preacher while still in his teens. De Benneville had a mystical experience and later a near death experience that he described in The Life and Trance of Dr. George De Benneville."

  Illuminate Your Sophia Light

"We are living in a time of profound transformation, where the veils of illusion are thinning, and the leaders of the New Aeon are called to awaken their dormant wisdom, embody their True Will, and co-create a world that reflects divine harmony. But how do we achieve this lofty purpose? The answer lies in illuminating the Sophia Light within us—a sacred process."

  French-language video: La Sexualité Sacrée
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2025, 04:01 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Dans cette vidéo : je vous propose de revenir aux origines, de suivre les anciens rites de magie sexuelle de l’Antiquité et de suivre l’évolution et ses condamnations jusqu’à notre époque. Nous parlerons aussi du tantrisme hindou, du taoïsme chinois, mais aussi de la magie sexuelle occidentale au sein des sociétés secrètes et des courants occultistes de la Belle Époque qui s’inspirent des traditions asiatique, mais réadaptée dans une cadre judéo-chrétien."
