  Art and Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 11:20 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Lavishly illustrated, Art and Alchemy accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf that brings together historical texts and a selection of artworks that take alchemy as their inspiration. Among the works discussed are Melancholy by Lucas Cranach the Elder, an oil painting that plays on the classical alchemical element; Jan Brueghel the Elder’s The Allegory of Fire; and a variety of works by Dutch painter, draftsman, and printmaker Hendrick Goltzius."

  Tilton: Alchymia Archetypica
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-01-2025, 03:41 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Alchymia Archetypica: Theurgy, Inner Transformation and the Historiography of Alchemy by Hereward Tilton

In late antiquity and the Middle Ages the ambiguous and often surreal symbolism of alchemy was purposefully employed to protect closely guarded secrets of laboratory practice, which most commonly concerned the manipulation and simulation of precious metals. Enigmatic figures such as the green lion, the black sun and the hermaphrodite were elements of a cipher language for the initiated laboratory worker; usually the tracts utilising this language were readily recognisable as recipes, but the extended allegories of Arabian and Hellenistic Egyptian provenance provided a further level of abstraction in the relationship of sign to referent.

  Alchemical symbolism of Christ's Nativity
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-29-2025, 04:01 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

Samuel Aun Weor

"The fact has to be taken into account that each year the Christ Sun must be crucified in the world. The Sun has to live the entire drama of his life, passion, and death, to then resurrect in everything that is, in everything that has been, and shall be—that is to say, in all of creation. So, therefore, this is how all of us receive life from the Christ Sun."

  Letter from Partington on Alchemical Apparatus
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-29-2025, 03:58 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"MY colleague Prof. Earp has directed my attention to an article in the Journal of Hellenic Studies (vol. 1, p. 109; 1930) by F. S. Taylor, entitled “A Survey of Greek Alchemy”, in which the suggestion is made that the apparatus called a ‘water bath’ (bain-marie) by Berthelot (“Introduction à I'étude de la chimie des anciens”, Paris, 1889, p. 146) is really a small charcoal brazier"
