  YouTube: Paganism in Britain
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2026, 08:34 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Finding Paganism, 2026 documentary by Jamie Davies

"From traditional witches to Druids to modern WitchTok, Jamie discovers what it means to be Pagan in the UK today, and how it is impacted by advancements like growing urban environments, AI and the internet."

"Produced by Conscious Productions and directed by Emma Jane Gray, the film journeys through a fascinating landscape of modern Pagan practice, meeting Druids, witches, Heathens, spiritual practitioners, and educators while exploring how ancient traditions continue to evolve in the modern world. As part of the documentary, Jamie visits Watkins Books—one of the world's oldest and most celebrated esoteric bookshops, to explore the role that books, ideas, and sacred knowledge continue to play within contemporary spiritual communities."

  Artist: Maja Ruznic
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-19-2026, 11:11 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Over the last months, Ruznic has returned to active imagination, a practice associated with Jungian analysis, and to Edward Edinger’s 1985 book Anatomy of the Psyche: alchemical symbolism in psychotherapy. Edinger describes alchemy as the “anatomy of the psyche,” linking the search for the philosopher’s stone to psychological transformation. For Ruznic, this framework makes painting a site of change. The canvas behaves as an alchemical vessel where raw impulses are recast, while the painted surface records the reaction."

  The Secret Fire: An Alchemical Study
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-19-2026, 11:01 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"E. J. Langford Garstin was a Cancellarius of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega during the second quarter of the 20th century. "The Secret Fire" begins the journey with the documentation of various instances in which the SECRET FIRE is described including the Bible and continues with the various words of the Alchemists and Rosicrucians leading up to one of the clearest unveilings of our SECRET FIRE found anywhere. This is Alchemy, pure and simple. Garstin was a chief of an A.O. Temple and well versed in alchemy as this book indicates. Garstin was the first A.O. Chief in the 1930s to discuss Chakras and their effect, and he brought them into the periphery of the Golden Dawn teachings through their alchemical links. The Alchemical teachings here concentrate on the spiritual aspect of the work, Book `M', the Philosophical Mercury of the Rosicrucian manifestos."

  The Occult Sun
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-19-2026, 10:44 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The occult sun is a symbolic idea that appears throughout esoteric philosophy, astrology, alchemy, and mystical theology. At its core, it refers to the sun not as a physical celestial object, but as a concealed representation of hidden knowledge, divine illumination, and transformative spiritual power. In occult traditions, the sun is rarely treated as literal; instead, it functions as a coded metaphor for consciousness, authority, and the “inner light” of human understanding."

  Sendivogius: A New Light of Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-19-2026, 10:34 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

A NEW LIGHT OF ALCHEMY: Taken from the source of Nature and Manual Experience (Alchemical)

by Michael Sendivogius (Author), Alina A. Arese (Author, Editor, Translator, Introduction) Format: Hardcover

"A New Light of Alchemy is an essential work for anyone seeking to delve into the mysteries of transmutation, Hermeticism, and occult science. Originally published in Latin in 1604, this treatise by Michael Sendivogius remains a fundamental pillar of alchemy, a tradition that has captivated generations of seekers. Its author, considered one of the most influential alchemists of his time, captured in its pages not only knowledge about the transformation of matter but also about the evolution of the self."

  Review: Antoine Calvet, L’alchimie au Moyen Âge
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-19-2026, 10:27 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"A. Calvet a commis ici un bel ouvrage, dont la force réside dans un dialogue fertile entre récits biographiques, filiation des idées et analyse des théories et des pratiques. Écrit dans une langue expressive où le sens de la formule est indéniable, il sera lu avec plaisir par les néophytes éclairés, utilisé et amplement cité par les chercheurs."

  How a 400-year-old alchemical cipher was cracked
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-19-2026, 10:25 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The setting was Amsterdam, 2019. A conference organised by the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry had just concluded at the Embassy of the Free Mind, in a lecture hall opened by historical-fiction author Dan Brown. At the conference, Science History Institute Postdoctoral Researcher Megan Piorko presented a curious manuscript belonging to English alchemists John Dee (1527–1608) and his son Arthur Dee (1579–1651). In the pre-modern world, alchemy was a means to understand nature through ancient secret knowledge and chemical experiment. Within Dee’s alchemical manuscript was a cipher table, followed by encrypted ciphertext under the heading “Hermeticae Philosophiae medulla” — or Marrow of the Hermetic Philosophy. The table would end up being a valuable tool in decrypting the cipher, but could only be interpreted correctly once the hidden “key” was found. It was during post-conference drinks in a dimly lit bar that Megan decided to investigate the mysterious alchemical cipher — with the help of her colleague, University of Graz Postdoctoral Researcher Sarah Lang."
