"The London Gnostic Society is an Esoteric order dedicated to the greater enlightenment of the Human Being. We freely give knowledge, techniques and practices that allow us to die to the vain and temporal so as to develop our latent spiritual faculties and redefine ourselves in superior space. Our regular classes include: Kabbalah and the dimensions of Space, meditation practices, resolving the problem of mind, the death of the Animal Ego, Alchemical/Tantric teachings, understanding the Laws of Creation and much more."

"The Vita coaetanea (A Contemporary Life) is an autobiographical account of Ramon Llull´s life dictated by himself to a friend in 1311 when he was seventy-nine years old. In it Llull reviews his works in the context of a life dedicated to God and motivated by the desire to disseminate the message of the Christian faith among the infidels. Llull, the self-labeled troubadour of books, wrote this account in part as a self-justification of his life and work, in part as self-consolation for his unending toils and travails. It is very likely that he also had in mind the Council of Vienne (1311) which he was about to attend and where he submitted petitions dealing with the establishment of adequate places to study languages for the preaching of the Gospel to every creature and the founding of a Christian military religious order that waged permanent war against the Saracens until the Holy Land is reconquered. Llull wanted to frame these petitions within a well thought-out justificatory account of his life and works that exudes passion, commitment and love for his fellow man. This volume contains the Latin original, as well as translations into Catalan, Spanish, and English."

| Alchemy's Legacy in Medicine |

"The paper explores the impact of Paracelsus on the transition from alchemy to medical chemistry, critically examining his departure from traditional Galenic medicine. It presents an analysis of the interplay between alchemical practices and their medicinal applications during Paracelsus's time. The discussion also addresses the broader historical context of alchemy and its influence on fields such as biochemistry and homeopathy. Ultimately, it posits that while Paracelsus played a significant role in shaping medical chemistry, the evolution of iatrochemistry may have occurred independently of him."

Vladimir Karpenko.
"Medical trends in European alchemy are discussed. There existed a direction that in curing illnesses made use of various substances known to alchemists. The origin can be traced back to the 14th century and further development of this trend has later led to iatrochemistry. Beside this, there existed all the time the second direction called alchemical medicine. It searched for miraculous universal medicine using for this purpose approaches known from attempts in metal transmutation. Several examples of the confused world of alchemical medicine are brought."

"This paper will provide a map of historical relations between alchemy and medicine in Byzantine period promoting a deeper understanding of the various interactions that can be historically ascertained. The main question is how alchemy is being related to other disciplines, how it affects everyday life, what technological applications it brings about, what interactions can be detected between alchemical and medical practices."
