  Video: Alchemical Cabala: Invitation to the Great Work
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-02-2026, 09:08 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Tarot is not a toy for fortune-telling; it is the keyboard of a Supercomputer. Most people spend their lives playing Solitaire on a machine built to map the Universe.

This is a summons for those who are finished with the games.

We are entering the laboratory of the Great Work. We are using the architecture of The Alchemical Cabala to perform the deliberate transmutation of the self. This is the rigorous, scientific application of the Western Mystery Tradition—refined over 35 years of deep exploration.

I am looking for the serious practitioner. The one who understands that the blueprint is not the building, but without the blueprint, nothing stands.

Your seat at the Table of the Wise is waiting."

Ontological Tensions in 16th and 17th Century Chemistry: Between Mechanism and Vitalism

by Marina P Banchetti (also: Banchetti-Robino)

Abstract: The 16th and 17th centuries mark a period of transition between the vitalistic ontology that had dominated Renaissance natural philosophy and the Early Modern mechanistic paradigm endorsed by, among others, the Cartesians and Newtonians. This paper will focus on how the tensions between vitalism and mechanism played themselves out in the context of 16th and 17th century chemistry and chemical philosophy, particularly in the works of Paracelsus, Jan Baptist Van Helmont, Robert Fludd, and Robert Boyle.

  Alchemy, Mining, Speculation & Experimentation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-28-2026, 08:19 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

By Okan Nurettin Okur

This article explores the historical and philosophical development of chemistry from its alchemical roots to its modern scientific form. It examines how alchemy, combining ancient natural philosophy with mysticism, laid the foundations for experimental chemistry. Key philosophical debates about whether chemistry should be considered a theoretical or applied science are traced, with particular attention given to the views of Kant, Schelling, and Hegel. The metaphysical nature of matter is also addressed, emphasizing process philosophy and dynamic conceptions of being. By engaging with thinkers such as Gaston Bachelard, the notion of “metachemistry” is introduced as a philosophy of transformation and becoming. The challenges of axiomatizing chemistry compared to physics are further investigated due to the complexity of chemical systems. Ultimately, it is argued that chemistry is not only a natural science but also a philosophical and social endeavor that reveals the interconnectedness of nature, matter, and human inquiry.

  The Hermetic Approach to Alchemy Explained
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-27-2026, 09:52 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Hermeticism is a spiritual philosophy rooted in the teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, a mythic figure blending elements of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian deity Thoth. These teachings, preserved in texts like the Corpus Hermeticum and the Emerald Tablet, form the philosophical backbone of much of Western alchemy."
