"The Five Spirits are the Taoist map of the human psyche. The system provides a view of the nervous system and forms the basis of Chinese medical psychology. It also describes a precise and efficient technology for spiritual transformation, the process through which a human being rediscovers their essential wholeness and innate connection to the divine."

"IN THIS ARTICLE, I will examine the practice of producing factitious gems as described in Nityanātha’s Jewel Mine of Mercury (Rasaratnākara, henceforth Jewel Mine), a thirteenth to fifteenth-century alchemical work written in Sanskrit."

"In this informative video, we will explore the fascinating world of the athanor, a specialized furnace used by ancient alchemists. The athanor was essential for maintaining the precise temperature required for various alchemical processes. We will discuss its design, functionality, and the significant role it played in transforming materials through processes such as calcination and distillation."

"Jung attempted to explain the obscurity of alchemy, the drive of its marked and colourful symbols, and the reality behind people’s reporting
the discovery of things, like the Philosophers’ Stone, which we might regard as chemically impossible. Basically Jung argued that the alchemical work acted as a kind of dynamic Rorschach blot in which the equally dynamic processes of the psyche were projected onto the substances the alchemist was working with. Alchemy was a kind of a collective conscious dream."

"As we climb the rungs of this ancient mystery, we also dive into:

✨ Alchemical interpretations of Jacob’s Ladder and the celestial ascent
? The connection between orbs, UFOs, and biblical angels
? Dream downloads and altered states as portals for receiving cosmic truth
? The use of gematria and number codes to decode spiritual transmissions
? How planetary alignments mirror symbolic initiations or gateways
? The language of light and frequency that bridges dimensions"

"The Avicennan text De congelatione et conglutinatione lapidum had a great influence on the alchemical thought of the thirteenth century. This Latin text disputed both the veracity of alchemy and the possibility of alchemical transmutation by arguing that art is inferior to nature and that the alchemists cannot manipulate a metal because its true characteristics are hidden from our senses; thus an alchemist cannot change something which is unknown to him."

"Was eighteenth-century European porcelain just a ceramic material to be moulded into useful objects – or could it mean more? This conference explores what European porcelain might have communicated when it was used to create devotional objects... Porcelain’s alchemical heritage was also not without significance: success at the alchemical enterprise had always been deemed dependent on divine favour. These factors could lead to porcelain assuming a sacral character in Catholic court contexts. Devotional images in European porcelain exploited these cultural associations of the medium itself."

"The Iconologia of Cesare Ripa was conceived as a guide to the symbolism in emblem books. It was very influential in the 17th century and went through a number of editions. There were 9 Italian editions -1593, 1603, 1611, 1613, 1618, 1625, 1630, 1645, 1764-7 and 8 non Italian editions in other languages, 1644 French, 1644 Dutch, 1699 Dutch, 1704 German, 1709 English, 1760 German, 1766 French and 1779 English. Both the text and the emblems included in these editions varies greatly, and later editions use Ripa's idea, rather than following his text. The Introduction transcribed here by Rawn Clark is an extract taken from a manuscript in the British Library Ms. Add 23195."
