Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 395

"CCCC MS 395 is a compilation of alchemical texts copied partly in the early fifteenth century and partly in the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century. It begins with a long text by Iohannes de Rupescissa OFM (Roqetaillade, d. c. 1362 - pseudo-Ramon Lull), his Liber de consideratione quintae essentiae. This section contains a few diagrams and coloured drawings, notably two full-page (ff. 49v-50r) illustrating lunaria grass. The style of this drawing and some texts in Catalan, suggest this part may have been made in Catalonia. Textual additions have been made by an English scribe, and the book seems to have come to England by the second half of the fifteenth century. In addition to a number of other minor alchemical tracts, the codex also contains a number of works attributed to Robert Green of Welby (c. 1467-after 1544), including De fama, Quaestiones super benedicti lapidis philosophici compositione, Secretum, Pulchrum somnium and Dialogus inter Hilardum necromanticum et quendam spiritum. Green's name is also inscribed on a flyleaf of the MS, though it is not clear whether this was intended as a mark of ownership or as a note of the authorship of the texts within the volume."

"What if alchemy was never about turning lead into gold, but about something far more powerful—transforming your soul? For centuries, ancient mystics and hermetic alchemists encoded their teachings in cryptic symbols: ? fire, ☿ mercury, ? water… not to confuse, but to protect sacred knowledge. These weren't formulas for external transmutation—but a roadmap for inner awakening. In this video, we’ll uncover the true meaning behind the Great Work (Magnum Opus), explore the seven stages of spiritual alchemy, and reveal how pain, ego death, and shadow work are the raw materials for the soul’s evolution. This is the hidden journey of becoming the Philosopher’s Stone—radiant, sovereign, and whole."

"Did you know surrealist painter & occultist Ithell Colquhoun designed her own tarot deck?? Unlike traditional decks, hers was purely colour-based, drawing on alchemical symbolism, the Qabalistic Tree of Life, & the esoteric teachings of the Golden Dawn. Instead of figures & scenes, she used abstract shapes & hues to convey the deeper meanings of each card✨

See more of the Tarot cards on display at Tate St Ives until 5 May. You can also buy a postcard pack from Tate shops in person or online."

The World Upside Down: Essays on Taoist Internal Alchemy

"This book contains four essays on Internal Alchemy (Neidan) by Isabelle Robinet, originally published in French and translated here for the first time into English. The essays are concerned with the alchemical principle of "inversion"; the devices used by the alchemists to "give form to the Formless by the word, and thus manifest the authentic and absolute Dao"; the symbolic function of numbers in Taoism and in Internal Alchemy; and the original meanings of the terms "External Elixir" (waidan) and "Internal Elixir" (neidan)."
