  Paracelsus & Alchemical Medicine
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2026, 03:04 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493-1541)—known as Paracelsus—was the most revolutionary physician of the Renaissance. He transformed both medicine and alchemy, creating iatrochemistry (medical chemistry) and establishing the principle that alchemy's true purpose is healing, not making gold."

  Thobra Alchemical Tarot
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2026, 02:54 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"An extraordinary alchemical tarot born from the visionary art of Wally Van De Velde (Thobra). Originally painted between 1975 and 1978, these 22 luminous works on wood blend mysticism, astrology, and esoteric symbolism into a spiritual masterpiece. Reproduced here for the first time in a limited, numbered edition of 100 copies, this deck captures the essence of the artist’s original paintings — philosophical, strange, and deeply initiatory."

  Alexander von Bernus: Alchemy and the Art of Healing
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-17-2026, 12:55 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The essays united in this book form a whole in themselves. The author is aware that, in them, he has gone much further in his statements about the reality of alchemy and about the alchemical secret carefully guarded by the adepts throughout the ages and almost only hinted at in symbolic language than anyone previously knowledgeable on the matter has done. To fully lift the veil would mean: to forfeit the blessing. For the one who is on the path, what is revealed in this book will lead up to the outer court of the Hermetic temple."

  Cotnoir: Myth in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-17-2026, 12:40 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Myth in Alchemy looks at the use of Greco-Roman Egyptian mythology in the practice of alchemy. Myths, such as, The Odyssey of Homer, the 12 Labors of Hercules, Isis and Osiris, and others, were thought to be metaphors for the materials and processes involved in alchemical transmutation whether of matter or of soul. This zine will unpack some of these meanings in a few examples from alchemical texts and take a look at Giordano Bruno’s use of myth in his geometry and his art of memory."

  Adam's Alchemical Symbols: Hermetic Studies No. 10
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-17-2026, 12:38 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"In 1755 the most comprehensive listing of alchemical symbols was published at Ulm in Germany, the 'Medicinisch-chymisch- und alchemistisches Oraculum'. The book consists of a series of thirty four full page engravings of 1829 symbols with the names in Latin and German overprinted in letterpress. There are 359 entries with multiple graphic images associated with each entry. Some ten years ago Adam McLean placed these images onto his alchemy web site. A number of people then asked him to provide explanations for the obscure terms, but he was not immediately able to find the time to do this. At the end of 2013 he had the idea of issuing this in book form, and after a few months editorial work and research this has resulted in the present volume in the Hermetic Studies series."
