  Sean Jefferson’s The Alchymical Garden of Michael Foy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-05-2026, 08:57 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Preorder is now open for Sean Jefferson’s The Alchymical Garden of Michael Foy.
It is a book for those who understand that images may be portals, landscapes may be grimoires, and strange beauty—when properly ensouled—may become a mode of initiation.

Inspired by the emblematic world of Splendor Solis, Jefferson’s Garden gathers fairies, poisonous plants, spirit presences, chthonic animals, Qabalistic pathways, Celtic survivals, and dream-born apparitions into an operative vessel of image and symbol. A visionary cycle of paintings and texts, the book unfolds as a distinctly British alchemical landscape: lush, dangerous, haunted, humorous, and spiritually alive.

Published in two highly limited editions, never to be reprinted.

Now available for preorder through Theion Publishing.

  Courses: Learn Medieval Illumination this summer!
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-02-2026, 08:25 AM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

If you’ve been drawn to medieval art, illuminated manuscripts, and the quiet discipline of traditional craftsmanship, these courses are a wonderful place to begin.
This summer, I’m opening enrollment for four medieval illumination courses: The Art of Medieval Initial, Medieval Wildlife, Medieval Patterns, and the brand-new The Art of Medieval Dragons.
Inside, I guide you step by step through the foundations of medieval illumination, from materials and tools to building complete, thoughtful artworks inspired by historical traditions.
You don’t need prior experience, just curiosity, patience, and a love for detail.

  The Rosicrucian 1 - Hermeticism
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-29-2026, 08:28 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"For over one hundred and fifty years, the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia has pursued its founding mission quietly, rigorously, and away from public view: to investigate the philosophy of Hermes Trismegistus, the secrets of the Kabbalah, and the meaning and symbolism of the wisdom, art and literature of the ancient world. Now, for the first time, that work steps into the open."

  Fiction: Yourcenar's The Abyss
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-28-2026, 10:57 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"The Abyss (French: L'Œuvre au noir) is a 1968 novel by the Belgian-French writer Marguerite Yourcenar. Its narrative centers on the life of Zeno, a physician, philosopher, scientist and alchemist born in Bruges during the Renaissance era. The book was published in France in 1968 and was met with immediate popular interest as well as critical acclaim, obtaining the Prix Femina with unanimous votes the year of its publication. The English translation by Grace Frick has been published under the title The Abyss or alternatively Zeno of Bruges. Belgian filmmaker André Delvaux adapted it into a film in 1988."

"The doctor and alchemist Zénon Ligre returns to his country of origin Flanders using false documentation, after spending his life traveling around Europe. In his hometown of Bruges, he finds work as a doctor in the convent of the Cordeliers. After founding a clinic and spa, he sets out to work as a doctor and alchemist for the poor. Zénon‘s ideology and methods were very popular among the Flemish population, but they ran the risk of being condemned by the Inquisition because they deviated from official orthodoxy. Having engaged in bisexual relations for several years, Zénon is accused of having homosexual relations with a young friar. Long sought after by authorities for his subversive writings, Zénon is arrested. He is tried by a court of the Inquisition and accused of witchcraft, murder, and unnatural relations. Rather than be burned at the stake, he prefers to choose his own death."
