A Sense of Wunder-: The Divine Construction of Rudolf II’s Kunstkammer

By Zoya Brumberg

  WB Yeats as Alchemical Poet and Magician

A Vision: Key to Yeats as Alchemical Poet and Magician

By Sarah Fuhro

"Conflicts and oppositions in Yeats' life and chart were healed and regarded in a new light through his experience with the channeled material he received and recorded in A Vision. This was the culmination of an alchemical process of soul work. His training as astrologer and occult philosopher allowed him to be able to read the messages of the spirits and the reception coincided with astrological indicators. His physical marriage with Georgie Hyde-Lees provided the necessary cauldron for the alchemical work to take place."

"A History of Hindu Chemistry by Prafulla Chandra Ray is a seminal two-volume work that explores the extensive development of chemical knowledge and alchemical traditions in ancient India, and is available in a modern reprint from Kurukshetra Books. The book challenged Eurocentric narratives of scientific history by highlighting India's significant contributions to global chemical science."

  Symbolic Transfigurations of Jinhua
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2026, 03:26 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The Secret of the Golden Flower (Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi 太乙金華宗旨), a Qing dynasty spirit-writing (fuji扶乩) text, is widely known through the Wilhelm–Jung translation lineage, where jinhua 金華 is rendered as “Golden Flower” and read as mandala-like symbolism. Based on a close reading of the Daozang Jiyao 道藏輯要version, this article argues that in the Chinese text jinhua is not primarily a floral image but a technical and experiential term for luminosity in Daoist inner-alchemical cultivation."
