"Studies show that nearly 70% of contemporary pharmaceutical procedures have roots in methods developed by ancient alchemy discoveries. Just like a lighthouse guiding ships through fog, these early experiments shed light on unknown chemical processes, enabling the evolution of precise medicinal compounds."

Unlocking the Secrets of Alchemical Symbols: A Comprehensive Guide from Rams’ Library of Alchemy, 4th Edition

Alchemy has captivated the minds and imaginations of scholars, mystics, and philosophers for centuries. As a profound and multifaceted discipline, it seeks to transform not only base metals into gold but also the human soul and consciousness. At the heart of this ancient practice are alchemical symbols, which serve as the language of alchemists. In the 4th edition of Rams’ Library of Alchemy, a wealth of knowledge about these symbols is unveiled, providing insights into their meanings, significance, and application.

  Alchemical Symbols and the Language of Science & Mysticism
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-17-2025, 09:32 AM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

"During the 16th and 17th Centuries, mystics and Rosicrucian adepts used the enigmatic language of alchemical symbols to reveal the secrets of nature to those who sought a deeper understanding of the cosmos both within and outside of themselves. Great minds like Robert Fludd, Robert Boyle, Benjamin Franklin, and Isaac Newton did not call themselves scientists but rather natural philosophers--those who sought to reveal the secrets of nature through their own connection with Cosmic laws and principles. Often described as the precursor to modern chemistry, alchemy was much more than a literal search for converting base metal into gold; nor was it simply a means of reducing plant matter into medicinal elixirs and tinctures. In this workshop with Ingrid Young, discover the meaning of such symbols as the philosopher's stone, the elixir of life, and the AZOTH. Uncover the meaning of phrases such as Ora et Labora, the Great Work, and "the rubification of the soul." Learn why alchemy was once considered a sacred path that had to be kept hidden from the curious, why later scientists scoffed at its value, and how today, we have embraced a greater mystical understanding of what was once considered the secret art.

  Alchemical Dissection
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-12-2025, 02:04 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In this exploration, we will uncover the symbolic meanings behind alchemical dissection. It was not only about physical examination but also about the transformation of the self. The act of dissection represented a journey inward, a means of peeling back the layers of the psyche to reach a state of enlightenment and inner harmony. This aspect of alchemy reveals its deeply spiritual nature, where the boundaries between the physical and metaphysical blur."

  Art Exhibition: Suzanne Treister

"From the prophetic early paintings of the 1980s to her groundbreaking digital works of the 1990s, the exhibition charts Treister’s evolution through key projects including those of her time-travelling alter ego Rosalind Brodsky, and the influential HEXEN 2.0 series, a Tarot deck and group of alchemical diagrams connecting cybernetics, surveillance, countercultural movements and internet histories. Her recent project, HEXEN 5.0 (2023-25) continues this trajectory, critically examining AI, the climate crisis, and quantum science."
