"The Liber de secretis naturae seu de quinta essentia is the central work in the Pseudo-Lullian Alchemical corpus, a large collection of as many as 143 different texts that circulated as the work of Raymond Lull (Ramon Llull or Raimundus Lullus; 1232-1316), the famous Catalan philosopher, theologian, and mystic. Notably, the author of this work used large sections of an earlier work by John of Rupescissa (c. 1310-c. 1362), De consideratione quintae essentiae omnium rerum, which links alchemy with medicine by describing the process of producing aqua vitae (Latin for "water of life") by the distillation of wine; per Rupescissa, the resulting substance could prevent corruption and decay, and thus prevent illness and premature aging. The Liber de secretis naturae, in contrast with Rupescissa’s text, is not primarily interested in the medical application of the quintessence, but instead interprets these ideas as part of an alchemical system that includes medicine, the transmutation of metals, and the artificial production of precious stones."

Steven Rosen explores the profound mystery of death and rebirth from psychological, philosophical, and alchemical perspectives.       

"Our greatest certainty and greatest mystery is our mortality. In this book, Steven M. Rosen explores the profound mystery of alchemical death and rebirth from psychological, philosophical, and alchemical perspectives. To model, embody, and contain the paradoxical transformations involved in the death-rebirth enigma, Rosen employs a paradoxical form of mathematics: the topology of the Moebius strip and Klein bottle. As we follow this alchemical odyssey of death and rebirth, the author makes himself transparent through his dreams and brings himself tangibly into his text so as to enact a dialectic of ego and Self."

"Beyond mythology, Thoth’s Soul Alchemy holds a significant place in hermeticism, a philosophical and spiritual tradition attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic figure combining Thoth with the Greek god Hermes. In this context, Thoth is seen as a master of universal laws, teaching principles like those in the Kybalion (e.g., mentalism, vibration, polarity). The Emerald Tablets, esoteric texts attributed to Thoth-Hermes, are said to contain instructions for spiritual transformation, alchemy, and mastery over reality. These texts, while debated for historical authenticity, emphasize Thoth’s Soul Alchemy role is a guide for awakening Consciousness."

"Quantum physics—as it is popularly taught—is a deceptive cloak.

It is not true science.

It is mysticism masquerading as mathematics.

It was designed not to glorify God’s creation, but to:

    confuse minds
    justify sorcery
    establish a new priesthood of theoretical “scientists” who speak in tongues no man can understand."

"Anselm Kiefer is one of the most profound and controversial figures in contemporary art. His work is a visceral tapestry of historical memory, mythology, spirituality, and destruction, often rendered in haunting, monumental canvases layered with unusual materials such as lead, straw, ash, clay, and shellac. To step into a room with Kiefer’s paintings is to enter a space where time collapses, where the past bleeds into the present with raw emotional force."

"Dragons in medieval thought occupied a unique position as symbols of both primal chaos and divine transformation. In alchemical texts, they represented the volatile stages of the Great Work, while in Christian art, they were often depicted as forces of evil vanquished by saints."
