  Physica et mystica by Bolos of Mendes
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-22-2026, 01:05 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

Physica et mystica (Φυσικά και μυστικά, Physika kai mystika, Of physical and mystical matters) is an alchemical treatise that was highly regarded by Greek alchemists.

"The transcription of this text is due to the research, compilation and translation work of Marcelin Berthelot and Charles-Émile Ruelle. This text translated from Greek, comes from the work Collection des anciens alchimistes grecs , 1887 – 1888. They mainly used for their work the Manuscript of Saint Mark (Gr.Z.299 bs. Marcian Library) dating from the 10th – 11th centuries ."

  Andreas Libavius
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-22-2026, 12:55 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Libavius wanted chemistry to be an academic and a laboratory discipline, divorced from astrology and natural magic, and concerned only with the nature of matter and its combinations, and he wanted it taught openly in the universities, not hidden away at royal courts."

  Video: The Hermetic Test of Character
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-20-2026, 12:59 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In this lecture, Dorian Calden unveils the three alchemical signs that expose a person's hidden character — drawn from the classical operations of the Great Work, Carl Jung's theory of the shadow and persona, and the Hermetic doctrine of correspondence between inner nature and outer expression. You will learn how to apply the ancient tests of fire, dissolution, and separation to any human relationship, identifying deception, concealed malice, and false virtue before they can compromise your psychological sovereignty."

  Orphic Fragments — Oracles and Alchemical Sayings
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-20-2026, 10:10 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"This page translates Kern fragments 332-333 from Otto Kern's Orphicorum fragmenta. Kern places them under Chresmoi, the Oracles. The first fragment preserves testimony to Orpheus as both poet and seer, two prophetic verses, and alleged Orphic tablets on Mount Haemus in Thrace. The second is an alchemical commentary by Agathodaemon on an alleged oracle of Orpheus. Its Greek is exceptionally corrupt; Kern himself declines to correct most of it. The English below renders the readable frame, Diels' extracted oracle, and the intelligible alchemical directions while keeping the damaged state of the witness visible."

  Crop circles: alchemical union
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-20-2026, 10:09 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Within this crop circle is an expression of the Sun and Moon (Sol ? & Luna ?). The triangular forms ?around the central circle ⭕️ look like a Sun ☀️, but with there being 13, it has a definite lunar ? connection (the lunar year has approximately 13 moons ?) and the off-center circle may reflect how the moon orbits ? Seems to be a message of unity here (divine feminine ?♀ and divine masculine ?♂)."

  Alchemical Elemental Psychology: Daniel J Reurink
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-20-2026, 10:05 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Throughout human history, civilizations have sought to understand the relationship between the individual parts of reality and the greater whole that emerges from them. Ancient philosophies, spiritual traditions, and modern sciences have all explored a similar question: how do separate forces combine to create something greater than themselves? The elemental equation:

Fire + Water + Air + Earth = Spirit 


offers a symbolic framework for exploring this relationship."
