"Michael Sendivogius, a Polish alchemist and physician, was born on Feb. 2, 1566, in Łukowica. He was educated at Kraków, and spent his career at a number of German and Polish universities, before moving to Bohemia and the court of Emperor Rudolf II at Prague, about the time that Tycho Brahe and then Johannes Kepler were there. Here Sendivogius published his best known and influential book, Novum Lumen Chymicum, (New Light of Alchemy, 1604)."

“Those That the Hidden Chemic Art Profess:” Elizabeth Jane Weston, Hester Pulter, and the Secret Language of Alchemy"

"Highlighting the hidden alchemical significance of Weston’s and Pulter’s works sheds light on the complex ways that women writers contributed to the development and propagation of alchemical and proto-scientific knowledge in the early modern period. Studying Weston’s and Pulter’s poetry, I argue, might illustrate how early modern women writing in genres rarely considered scientific could actively contribute to the trajectory of the early modern alchemical and scientific fields."

"Motifs within the alchemical, gnostic and hermetic traditions permeate Begotten; Mathijs and Sexton note that Merhige "makes perhaps the most serious attempt to visualize elements of Dionysian orgiastic cultism". By the 1980s New Age beliefs and practices including alchemy, western esotericism and hermeticism had grown in prominence. Merhige was a follower of these philosophies, and described Begotten and its creation as an "alchemical process.. [made to] bypass intellectual interpretation". The performances of the cast are ritualistic and symbolic, a trait that Merhige imbued into the film's narrative."

"According to Zosimus of Panopolis, a fourth century alchemical apologist, the “sons of God” mentioned briefly in Genesis taught the alchemical arts to their human lovers in gratitude for having sex with them. Tertullian, an early Church Father, agreed with this and thought that these “fallen angels,” or Nephilim, had the evil intention of seducing human woman with the joys of “mundane pleasures.”

"A remarkable man has passed away. Joost Ruben Ritman was a man with a mission, patriarch of a large and colorful family, an Amsterdammer through and through, a world citizen, a visionary. As an entrepreneur, lover of culture and art collector, Rosicrucian and founder of the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica, he built bridges between worlds and people. He had the ability to make the invisible visible and the impossible possible. Joost Ritman was generous, spirited, untamable, elusive and persistent. Guided by his inner compass, faithful to the love that conquers all, he was a passionate guardian of the freedom of the spirit.
“Everything is visible to who has mind. Who contemplates himself with his mind, knows himself, knows the All: the All is within man.” Hermes Trismegistus"
