"E. J. Langford Garstin was a Cancellarius of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega during the second quarter of the 20th century. "The Secret Fire" begins the journey with the documentation of various instances in which the SECRET FIRE is described including the Bible and continues with the various words of the Alchemists and Rosicrucians leading up to one of the clearest unveilings of our SECRET FIRE found anywhere. This is Alchemy, pure and simple. Garstin was a chief of an A.O. Temple and well versed in alchemy as this book indicates. Garstin was the first A.O. Chief in the 1930s to discuss Chakras and their effect, and he brought them into the periphery of the Golden Dawn teachings through their alchemical links. The Alchemical teachings here concentrate on the spiritual aspect of the work, Book `M', the Philosophical Mercury of the Rosicrucian manifestos."

"The occult sun is a symbolic idea that appears throughout esoteric philosophy, astrology, alchemy, and mystical theology. At its core, it refers to the sun not as a physical celestial object, but as a concealed representation of hidden knowledge, divine illumination, and transformative spiritual power. In occult traditions, the sun is rarely treated as literal; instead, it functions as a coded metaphor for consciousness, authority, and the “inner light” of human understanding."

"The setting was Amsterdam, 2019. A conference organised by the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry had just concluded at the Embassy of the Free Mind, in a lecture hall opened by historical-fiction author Dan Brown. At the conference, Science History Institute Postdoctoral Researcher Megan Piorko presented a curious manuscript belonging to English alchemists John Dee (1527–1608) and his son Arthur Dee (1579–1651). In the pre-modern world, alchemy was a means to understand nature through ancient secret knowledge and chemical experiment. Within Dee’s alchemical manuscript was a cipher table, followed by encrypted ciphertext under the heading “Hermeticae Philosophiae medulla” — or Marrow of the Hermetic Philosophy. The table would end up being a valuable tool in decrypting the cipher, but could only be interpreted correctly once the hidden “key” was found. It was during post-conference drinks in a dimly lit bar that Megan decided to investigate the mysterious alchemical cipher — with the help of her colleague, University of Graz Postdoctoral Researcher Sarah Lang."

"The Alchemical Wedding of the Lodge Between Lodges is a monumental contemporary work of Hermetic philosophy, ritual architecture, and symbolic science that seeks to reunite the two halves of the ancient alchemical tradition: practical alchemy, which evolved into modern science, and spiritual alchemy, which became the magical and initiatory arts. Presented as a unified initiatory corpus, the volume combines cosmology, sacred language, ritual practice, optics, sound, geometry, symbolic systems, and speculative technological philosophy into a single operational framework known as the Lodge Between Lodges."

"This is a virtual space dedicated to putting in order the most recent academic material on the history of alchemy in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Although much progress has been made in the last 30 years, it is a very little studied period compared to other medieval disciplines such as medicine, astronomy, pharmacy, etc. Most of the texts have not been dated. The identity of most authors is also unknown. All this generates a chaos that makes it difficult an overall understanding and a systematic study of alchemical treatises, determining their sources and their relationships in a well ordered chronological sequence. Any type of help is welcome to improve the quality and accuracy of the data presented here."
