  Seal of the Philosophical Scottish Rite
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-16-2025, 08:19 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The Philosophical Scottish Rite (French: Le Rite Ecossais Philosophique) is a Masonic rite that was established in Paris in 1776 by the hermetist Alexandre Boileau, who was a disciple of Antoine-Joseph Pernéty. This rite is known for its unique structure and progression through various degrees."

Here is its seal, full of alchemical symbolism.

Virtute et Silentio: By Virtue and Silence.
Ab Oriente etc. : From East to West there grows a herb called Saturnia which you will find if you dig a hole knee-deep (*)
Benedictus Dominus etc.: Blessed be the Lord our God who gave us this sign.
Liber Vivi et Sapientiae: The Book of the Living and of Wisdom.

(*) See AE Waite; The Hermetic Museum:

  Art Exhibition: Alison Flora
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-16-2025, 06:43 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Alison Flora’s Solve et Coagula at DS Galerie in Paris is a transformative exploration of art as alchemy, where blood and pigment dissolve and renew, embodying cycles of life, death, and catharsis."

"The exhibition’s titular reference to the alchemical process of Solve et Coagula frames Flora’s work as a philosophical inquiry. Through distinct phases of dissolution (the dark work of Saturn), purification (the lunar clarity of the white peony), and synthesis (the solar unity of copper), she guides viewers through an aesthetic journey paralleling the creation of the Philosopher’s Stone."

  M.R. Osborne: The Alchemy of William Blake
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-15-2025, 06:05 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"To better understand William Blake, it is necessary to understand his sources of inspiration. While much has been written about the influences of Paracelsus and Swedenborg on his work, a key influence on Blake was the self-taught sixteenth-century mystic Jacob Boehme. Blake and Boehme believed they had mystical experiences and visions that inspired their writing."
