  Madame Guyon: Mystic of the Heart
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-16-2025, 03:54 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"While Christian in form, Madame Guyon’s teachings were alchemical in spirit, transforming the soul through silence, surrender, and sacred inner vision. These teachings, once condemned as heretical, now resonate like a hidden chant beneath many esoteric paths. Madame Guyon never called upon the four elements, cast circles, or invoked lunar forces but the quiet revolution Madame Guyon began found fertile ground in the metaphysical world"

  Adam Becker, “More Everything Forever: AI Overlords"
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-16-2025, 03:51 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Renaissance alchemists won the support of monarchs like Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor who squandered his realm’s money on a futile quest to discover the Philosopher’s Stone. Now, as Becker explains, AGI, or artificial general intelligence, has become the means through which philosophers might transubstantiate our mundane reality into a realm in which the apparently impossible becomes possible: living forever, raising the dead, and remaking the universe in the shape of humanity."

  The Sacrum Bone: the Alchemical Bridge
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-16-2025, 03:45 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"What if everything you know about meditation is only part of the truth? What if the key to accessing other dimensions doesn’t lie in the mind, but in the body - and not even the whole body, but in a single, extraordinary bone: ancient and almost forgotten?"

  Courses: Alchmical Herbalism

"The European tradition of Alchemy forms the foundation of our spiritual-scientific integrative approach to herbalism. You’ll come to understand people and plants through the lens of the archetypal patterns of nature, such as the Elements, Philosophical Principles, and Planets."

  The Emerald Tablet reconsidered
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-16-2025, 03:31 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Emerald Tablet (Tabula Smaragdina) is arguably one of the most legendary and mysterious artifacts in Western esoteric lore. Allegedly inscribed by Hermes Trismegistus himself (a hybrid of the Greek Hermes and Egyptian Thoth), the tablet is said to contain the condensed truth of the cosmos. It is the sacred scroll of alchemists, magicians, philosophers, and confused Renaissance nobles.

But here lies the rub: while many mystical texts speak of the Tablet's content, they are suspiciously silent on its construction. Specifically: was it really made out of emerald? And if so, how? In this article, we revisit the Emerald Tablet with both scholarly skepticism and playful reverence, and propose a likely origin that is at once mundane and magical."

  Cotnoir: Alchemy, the Poetry of Matter
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-16-2025, 03:29 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"This Enlightening Book on Alchemy is the Fruit of 30 Years Work with the Emerald Tablet.

Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter is an alchemical book rather than a book about alchemy. It is full of practice and experiment and perhaps a puzzle or an enigma. Its intent is to inspire curiosity about another way of knowing."

  Fritz Lang's Metropolis
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-12-2025, 02:21 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"One of the very first feature-length sci-fi films ever made, Fritz Lang’s Metropolis took a daring visual approach for its time, incorporating Bauhaus and Futurist influences in thrillingly designed sets and costumes. Lang’s visual language resonated strongly in later decades. The film’s rather stunning alchemical-electric transference of a woman’s physical traits onto the body of a destructive android—the so-called Maschinenmensch— began a very long trend of female robots in film and television, most of them as dangerous and inscrutable as Lang’s. And yet, for all its many imitators, Metropolis continues to deliver surprises. Here, we bring you a new find: a 32-page program distributed at the film’s 1927 premiere in London and recently re-discovered."
