"Alchemy is often seen as a mystical precursor to modern chemistry, with roots stretching back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and China. This ancient practice combined elements of philosophy, mysticism, and proto-science, aiming to transform base metals into noble ones, discover a universal solvent, and achieve immortality through the Philosopher’s Stone. Despite its esoteric aims, alchemy played a pivotal role in the development of scientific thought throughout history."

Looks a bit AI-ish, but quite useful even so:

"In this post, we'll look at how alchemy's ideas and symbols show up in modern art. From paintings to sculptures, you'll see how artists are using these old concepts in fresh ways. So, let's dive in, I mean, here's what you need to know…"

"A few months ago, a groundbreaking study was published that linked fractal geometry to Carl Jung's theories. I contacted Dr Harry Shirley, the author of the study, to record a podcast about his findings. The discovery has changed the way I see everything - art, myth, culture, emotions, people - it's all fractals. Numbers are the key to this riddle. Before Carl Jung died, he hypothesized the number was the link between mind and matter, because it is both quantitative to the material world AND symbolic to the psychological realm. Several decades after Carl Jung's death, mathematicians stumbled upon the Buddhabrot set, a beautiful fractal pattern."

"Beneath the lavish veneer of the court of Fontainebleau, Francis I secretly nurtures an alchemical passion, guided by his mother, Anne of Savoy, in search of the "hidden truth" of matter. In his secluded study, he manipulates vials and grimoires, until one evening he encounters Françoise de Foix, herself heir to occult knowledge."

"Addiction is not a moral failure. It is not a sign of weakness. It is a cry from the soul — an attempt to anesthetize unresolved pain. In this video, we explore the psychology of addiction through the profound insights of Carl Jung and Gabor Maté. You will learn why addiction is a spiritual crisis, how childhood trauma fuels compulsive behaviors, and why true recovery begins when we confront our shadow and reconnect with our deeper self. If you are struggling — or know someone who is — this message is for you."

Why Is This Pagan Face in So Many Churches?

? Who is the Green Man… and why is he hiding in our churches? A face made of leaves. A mystery carved into sacred stone. Some say he’s a god. Others, a warning. But all agree—he's hiding a secret no one can quite explain.

"In this behind-the-scenes video, I take you through the making and packaging of my new limited edition Traveller art boxes—a collection of symbolic prints wrapped in tissue, sealed in wax, and infused with intention.

Each box includes:
? 4 A5 prints featuring The Traveller in various stages of his spiritual journey
? A codex insert—written like a journal page from another world
? Handmade touches: incense, crystals, wax seals, and textured paper
? Collector’s certificate + numbered editions

More than packaging—this is ritual.
Unboxing becomes part of the art itself."

"What is Alchemical Union — and why do mystics, philosophers, and spiritual seekers across the ages see it as the highest spiritual secret?
In this mind-expanding video, we unveil the hidden wisdom behind the Alchemical Union — a sacred process of inner integration, spiritual rebirth, and soul transmutation that goes far beyond symbolic gold. Drawing from Hermetic philosophy, Jungian psychology, and ancient mystical traditions, we explore how the union of opposites — masculine and feminine, soul and spirit, shadow and light — gives birth to a higher Self. This is not just symbolic mythology; it’s a living process unfolding within you."
