  Nick Scully: Alchemical Healing
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-13-2026, 12:43 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Alchemical Healing brings together innovative techniques from shamanism and energetic haling with the principles of alchemy, creating a practical form of physical healing, therapeutic counseling, and spiritual growth. With simple directions, readers are guided through a series of initiatory steps toward mastery of a powerful healing form that allows them to access the Universal Life Force energy; develop a working relationship with spirit allies from the animal, plant, and mineral realms; and utilize the healing power of the five elements. Starting with journeys of initiation and commitment for the beginner, Alchemical Healing also offers advanced students instruction in powerful techniques such as psychic surgery, distant healing, and elemental balancing of the body. Those who follow the Alchemical Healing path accomplish a spiritual transformation of the self, turning the dark mystery of the subconscious into the alchemical gold of knowledge and enlightenment."

  The Role of Crystals in Alchemy: A Complete Guide
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-13-2026, 12:39 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Crystals are defined in alchemy as active agents of transformation, not passive decorations. The role of crystals in alchemy spans both physical and metaphysical dimensions: they embody elemental forces, enable purification through crystallization, and serve as tools for shifting consciousness. This tradition reaches back to 206 BCE in China’s Western Han dynasty, where quartz and talc appeared in early alchemical preparations. Paracelsus later formalized the importance of crystals in alchemy through his tria prima framework, linking the crystalline Salt principle to physical restoration and mineral medicine. What you hold in your hand when you pick up a crystal is not folklore. It is a condensed record of elemental intelligence."

  The Astral Library
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-13-2026, 12:37 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

A promising new site.

"Seth Balthazar is synthesizing the dispersed streams of the Western Mystery Tradition—alchemy, high magick, Gnostic Christianity, Arthurian myth, Tarot, Kabbalah, and astrotheurgy—into a unified living path called The Royal Art. A Hermetic Philosopher, Grail Knight, and Disciple of Light, he walks this tradition as a total way of sovereignty, gnosis, and inner transformation. His work draws from Hermetic, Kabbalistic, Rosicrucian, and Christic lineages to articulate the initiatory path of exile, remembrance, and return."

  Ageless Wisdom School: Hermetic Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-11-2026, 01:41 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Webster's International Dictionary defines alchemy as: 'The medieval chemical science, whose great objects were the transmutation of the baser metals into gold, and the discovery of the universal cure for diseases and means of indefinitely prolonging life.' This, the commonly accepted exoteric definition of alchemy, gives a partial and therefore distorted idea of the significance of Hermetic science and practice. Our first lesson will therefore be devoted to a consideration of the true meaning of the Hermetic doctrine, its real objects, and the field of its practical operations."

  The Seven Metals: Alchemy and the Planets
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-09-2026, 02:18 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Alchemy matched the seven classical planets to seven metals: Sun and gold, Moon and silver, Mercury and quicksilver, Venus and copper, Mars and iron, Jupiter and tin, Saturn and lead. The pairing expresses "as above, so below," the Hermetic idea that heaven and earth follow one pattern. It is symbolic history, not chemistry or prediction."
