"In the magical domain of alchemy, seven divine tree symbols hold powerful meanings. The Kalpavriksha, a wish-fulfilling tree, embodies abundance, while the Philosophical Tree represents cosmic order. Ever heard of Yggdrasil? It’s the Norse world tree, connecting life’s cycles. Mercury’s Serpent illustrates transformation, capturing the essence of rebirth. Salt grounds us, and sulfur ignites our passion. Alchemical trees serve as guides for spiritual enlightenment. Want to uncover even more tree mystique?"

"Alright, settle in, aspiring mages and potion-slinging enthusiasts! We’re diving deep into the philosophical cauldron today, dissecting the very foundations of alchemy: its elements. Forget your periodic table for a moment, because in the world of transforming lead into gold (figuratively, of course… mostly), the elements represent far more than just atoms and molecules. They are fundamental principles, qualities of existence, and stages of a transformative process. They are, in essence, the building blocks of the spiritual and physical universe."

| Daniela Boccassini: At the Roots of Jung’s Alchemy |

"I believe Jung’s visit to the Ravenna Baptistery may have played a role in reviving his interest in alchemy. If Jung could see, projected against the walls of the Neonian Baptistery, four non-existing “mosaic frescoes” of biblical events illustrating rebirth, this is likely because, on that afternoon of September 1932, his inner eye allowed him equally to see the baptismal font at the center of the building as a gnostic-alchemical krater filled with the water of life, and imself intent upon circumambulating it as if it were the central empty space of an ancient, blue-tinged, three-dimensional mandala."

| From Sophists to Alchemists to AI Coders |

Dr. Marcus Doubtful, former quantum physicist turned philosopher of science & Dr. Andrew Sofist, a computational physicist and AI researcher who has just delivered a triumphant presentation on large language models' reasoning capabilities.
"Andrew: You're being dramatic, Marcus. We're not in crisis - we're making unprecedented progress.
Marcus: Are we? Or are we making the same mistake medieval alchemists made?
Andrew: I don't know what you're talking about. Can we stick to science please?
Marcus: Alchemists were the AI researchers of their time, Andrew. They performed elaborate experiments, followed complex procedures, occasionally achieved spectacular results. They could turn base metals into something that looked like gold, at least temporarily. They had impressive equipment, secretive methods, devoted followers.
Andrew: But that is pseudoscience..."
