  Qandūsī’s Alchemical Prayers
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-01-2026, 09:20 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Qandūsī left in his work significant pages in which he reveals part of his inner world as a calligrapher imbued with a deep spirituality. This spirituality is characterized both by references to major concepts of the Sufism of his time (for example, the Muhammadan Reality) and also by alchemical language."

  The Alchemical Vortex by Hans de Clercq
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-30-2026, 01:42 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"In 'The Alchemical Vortex: Phase-Conjugating Matter from Plasma Chaos,' the author presents a paradigm-shifting synthesis of ancient alchemical wisdom and cutting-edge plasma physics, challenging the reductionist dogma that has dominated science for centuries. This work unveils a unified field dynamics where matter is not inert but a living memory of coherent wave-forms, capable of transmutation through macroscopic harmonic resonance."

  The Voynich: an indigenous Mesoamerican medical text?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-30-2026, 01:31 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"This article breaks new ground by presenting evidence that much of the art work is Mesoamerican in style or heritage. Examples of the Voynich script are similar or identical to Courtesan script used in codices from New Spain, Early Colonial Mexico. Based on the internal evidence the provenance may be inferred to be Mexico and the language a combination of Nahuatl--the language of the Aztecs, and Spanish."

  Four unpublished letters to Newton on alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-30-2026, 01:26 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

This article analyses four unpublished draft letters from Nicolas Fatio de Duiller to Isaac Newton, dating from June to August 1693, and held in the Special Collections in the Universiteitsbibliotheek in Leiden. Overall, these letters enrich our knowledge of Fatio-Newton’s alchemical correspondence in June 1693, a phase which likely represents the peak of the two natural philosophers’ alchemical collaboration."

  Elias Ashmole: The Way to Bliss
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2026, 10:31 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The Way to Bliss, written by an anonymous English alchemist probably between 1600 and 1620, is a classic that has somehow become annexed to the Rosicrucian tradition through being (a) plundered by the Rosicrucian charlatan John Heydon and (b) being published in an excellent edition by Elias Ashmole in 1658 as a conscious riposte to Heydon's effrontery."  ( Ron Heisler, 'Robert Fludd: A Picture in Need of Expansion', at https://www.alchemywebsite.com/h_fludd.html )

  Geber: Summa Perfectionis
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2026, 10:05 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Summa Perfectionis, or “The Sum of Perfection,” is widely regarded as the most influential alchemical treatise of the Latin Middle Ages. Attributed to the legendary Geber (Jābir ibn Ḥayyān)—an 8th-century polymath whose name became synonymous with practical alchemy—this work became the foundational blueprint for countless philosophers, mystics, and early scientists across Europe and the Islamic world. In this edition, drawn from a carefully corrected Vatican manuscript, the reader is invited into a world of fire and transformation, subtle vessels and sublime theory. With striking clarity, the text reveals the precise methods, materials, and spiritual orientations of the alchemical art as understood by its most revered master."
