"Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. These iconic lines from Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” evoke the image of a bubbling cauldron, a magical concoction of ingredients that brings about both fear and fascination. But beyond the theatrical portrayal, there is a deeper symbolism at play. The witches magic cauldron parallels the Taoist concept of alchemy and the “golden stove” or “lower cauldron” known as the dantian. In this blog post, we will explore the parallels between Shakespeare’s play, the Taoist practice of alchemy, and the Hero’s Journey as outlined by Joseph Campbell."

Third in a series on Trinity, Quaternity, and the Fifth Essence

Sushmita Mukherjee

"This understanding echoes across traditions—the Hindu concept of akasha, the subtle element of space itself, the primordial vibration from which all other elements emerge and into which they return. Whether called aether or akasha or quintessence, it points toward the same recognition: there exists a fifth principle, both immanent and transcendent, that makes the dance of the four elements possible."

Rambling but interesting and well-illustrated article.

"“In medieval and early modern Europe, chemistry and chemical medicine is dominated by clergy who act as pharmacists and apothecaries... Despite the widely held belief that the early modern church was staunchly anti-science—a view epitomized in the 1633 heresy trial of Galileo—Christianity actually was a catalyst for scientific discovery."

"Listen up, modern alchemists, because we're about to explore the most misunderstood and romanticized spiritual practice in human history. Forget everything you think you know about bearded men in dusty laboratories trying to turn literal lead into literal gold. Real alchemy—spiritual alchemy—is the science of consciousness transformation, the art of turning the base metal of your human experience into the philosophical gold of awakened awareness."
