"In this rare lecture, Terence McKenna rejects Nietzsche’s Superman ideal, showing how mis-copied memes can corrupt philosophy — and revealing an alchemical process of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful to redeem humanity’s future. Drawing on psychedelic philosophy, the Platonic triad, and the artist as an antenna to the transcendental, McKenna offers a Jungian-inspired vision of collective transmutation — turning the raw materials of history into the philosopher’s stone of a renewed soul."

Classical poetic motifs as alchemical metaphors in the Shudhūr al-dhahab and its commentaries

Richard Todd

"Traditionally prized as much for its poetic artistry as its didactic content, Ibn Arfaʿ Raʾs’s (fl. twelfth century) dīwān of alchemical verse, the Shudhūr al-dhahab (Shards of Gold), is one of the most important and influential works in the literary canon of Arabic alchemy."

Alchemy, in A. Kaldellis and N. Siniossoglou (eds.), The Cambridge Intellectual History of Byzantium, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 2017, 234-251.

By Gerasimos Merianos

The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of alchemy's development in Byzantium, tracing its origins back to Graeco-Roman Egypt and its evolution through the integration of Greek philosophy and Gnostic elements. It outlines the textual tradition of the Greek alchemical corpus, identifying key figures and examining the philosophical and technical aspects of alchemical practices. The interplay between intellectual understanding and practical experimentation is highlighted, alongside the cultural perception of alchemy in the Byzantine context.

"In this cinematic deep dive, we unveil the hidden foundations of shadow integration—not through psychology alone, but through the ancient lens of alchemical practice. This is not self-help. This is sacred inner work rooted in esoteric wisdom, where the poison becomes the cure, and the monster becomes the guide."

"Trial By Woods" is a short movie about an alchemical journey of self-discovery (or rather, self re-discovery) through the ghastly woods inhabited by Cryptofonte, the Judge of the Woods, who haunts anyone who enter its territory and discloses the deepest sides of their mind, then compels them to undergo a transmutation process according to their true nature."

"Jung thought that alchemy, looked at from a symbolic and not a scientific eye, could be regarded as one of the precursors of modern study of the Unconscious and, in particular, of analytical interest in the transformation of personality. The alchemists projected their internal processes into what they were doing, and, as they carried out their various operations, enjoyed deep, passionate emotional experiences along with spiritual ones. ...Like analytical psychology and psychoanalysis in their time, alchemy can be seen as a subversive and underground force: its vivid and earthy imagery contrasting with the stylised and sexless expression of medieval Christianity, just as psychoanalysis startled Victorian prudishness and complacency."

"In the European Middle Ages, both alchemists and magicians sought to accomplish material change by manipulating the natural powers of matter. Modern historians of science attempt the same when reconstructing historical recipes in a laboratory setting. This article asks how “impossible” medieval practices can be visualized and replicated, focusing on the Natural Magic, one of a group of related treatises pseudonymously attributed to Ramon Llull. This treatise describes the generation of “shaped spirits”: language that evokes both alchemical images of allegorical beasts and the suffumigations of ritual magic. Reconstruction suggests that this language also alludes to practice—the smoky vapors produced within the alchemical vessel."
