"It is always an honor and a pleasure when Tobias Churton graces the Virtual Alexandria. He will discuss his new book, The First Alchemists: The Spiritual and Practical Origins of the Noble and Holy Art. Beyond a deep dive into Zosimos of Panopolis and his Gnostic pedigree, we’ll cover other ancient alchemists like Mary the Jeweress and Cleopatra. You can count on us dealing with spiritual alchemy and Jung’s insights, so get ready to find your outer and inner Philosopher’s Stone."

The Amṛtasiddhi: Haṭhayoga’s Flash in the Alchemical Pan

By James Mallinson

"The Amṛtasiddhi is an eleventh-century Vajrayāna work written in Sanskrit, which is the first text to teach any of the practices and principles of what came to be classified in later texts as haṭhayoga, yoga in which physical texts predominate. Much of the text is couched in alchemical metaphors, and the names of the three primary techniques describing yogic processes such as breathing exercises and their effects on the body and the mind each have alchemical parallels. This chapter presents the various alchemical aspects of the text and analyses their reception—including their rejection or misinterpretation—in later works on yoga and provides insight into the spread of alchemical thought and methods into other Indic disciplines, and among different religious groups."

Zosimos Aigyptiakos. Identifying the Imagery of the "Visions" and Locating Zosimos of Panopolis in His Egyptian Context

By Marina Escolano-Poveda

"The first alchemist for whom we have biographical data, Zosimos, lived in the Panopolis (current Akhmim) of the late third–early fourth centuries CE, a region in which evidence of the practice of traditional Egyptian religion is attested well into Late Antiquity. The images that Zosimos employed in his presentation of alchemical procedures and apparatus offer us an insight into his cultural context. This paper will examine a series of passages from the works of Zosimos of Panopolis from an Egyptological perspective, contrasting them with textual and iconographic sources from the Egyptian temple milieu of Graeco-Roman Egypt. The results of this inquiry will be used to elaborate a more nuanced presentation of Zosimos’ identity."

"Kimyâ-yı Saâdet (The Alchemy of Happiness), written by Imam al-Ghazālī, is a condensed and simplified adaptation of his magnum opus Ihyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn. The work explains the fundamental moral and religious principles necessary for attaining spiritual maturity. Topics such as self-knowledge, purification of the soul, articles of faith, the significance of worship, belief in the hereafter, states of the heart and soul, repentance, and spiritual cleansing are discussed in depth. Al-Ghazālī emphasizes that both worldly and eternal happiness can only be achieved through a life centered on divine consent."

"The question of how to create life does not just go back to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, when the eponymous character used forbidden science to create life. Humans have been interested in creating artificial life since at least classical antiquity and probably much earlier. One manifestation of this is the idea of the homunculus, a diminutive humanoid creature that was believed to be created through magical means."

"Another amazing medieval discovery has been made in eastern Europe. This time, hundreds of medieval objects were unearthed in east-central Poland. The discovery was made when excavators were preparing for new gas works in the village of Poniaty Wielkie, Poland. Here, Polish archaeologists found the remains of an ancient alchemical workshop containing over 200 metal and ceramic objects. But more important were the ancient production remnants that were also found at the site including furnaces, wells and rubbish pits. Each artifact reveals “the economic development of the medieval settlement,” according to Polish Police. Some of these medieval objects are unique and will likely tell us more about the people who made them and what they were used for and by whom."
