  The Alchemical Cure for Cancer
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-08-2025, 07:33 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"The true story of a South American scientist arriving in Jamaica en route to Miami, carrying with him the secret results of clinical trials done in Colombia on terminally ill Cancer patients. This rare, ancient method of alchemical origin, using a natural bioligical extract, proved to be virtually 100% effective in achieving a complete remission of the cancerous process. Due to a family feud and consequent treachery he is arrested upon landing in Kingston with a pair of cocaine-loaded platform shoes. Convicted and sentenced to prison, Dr. Hector Velarde Valdes meets the Author, who has been assigned to act as his interpreter and guide. Over a period of many months he reveals an astounding and truly amazing drama, weaving the extraordinary circumstances of his life with the racy adventure of a medical-scientific quest for the centuries old, guarded alchemical cure for Cancer that was only available to the royalty and nobility of antiquity."

By Bernard Headley.

  Psychotherapy, the Alchemical Imagination & Metaphors of Substance
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-08-2025, 07:24 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Alchemy is popularly viewed as a secret way of turning worthless base metal into gold, and then a precursor to modern chemistry. This is often taken as a metaphor for psychological development. This book describes an innovative "third way" for both the education and exercise of an alchemical imagination that embraces both material matters and psychological insight: alchemy as lyrical poetics, or the intensive production of embodied metaphor. Alchemy here is viewed as an immanent set of metaphor-driven "best practices" for indwelling complex and contradictory earthly matters in a sensual, artistic and humane manner. Or, again, it describes best psychotherapeutic practice."

  Becoming Gold: Zosimos of Panopolis
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-08-2025, 07:22 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Becoming Gold: Zosimos of Panopolis and the Alchemical Arts in Roman Egypt / Paperback
by Shannon Grimes (Author)


"FOREMOST among the alchemists of the Hellenized world, the "divine" Zosimos practiced a sacred art in which metaphysical and metallurgical realities were fundamentally intertwined. Rather than being an exclusive product of Alexandrian syncretism, however, the dual spiritual and material emphasis of this alchemy reveals much deeper roots than expected: roots which extend deep into the religious cultures of the Ancient Near East. Through the methods of "cultural biography" and "thick description", Becoming Gold guides the reader deep into the temple culture of Roman Egypt, where the role of scribal priest intersects explicitly with the metallurgical craft traditions."

"In this episode of SIN News, we explore the Paras Stone – a legendary Indian relic said to hold the ultimate alchemical power.

Was it ancient science, spiritual metaphor, or a lost piece of forbidden technology?"

  The Forgotten Legacy of Chrysopoeia
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-05-2025, 07:30 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The lost science of Chrysopoeia Alchemic Harmonics has remained an enigma for centuries, whispered only among esoteric circles. Unlike modern interpretations of alchemy, which focus on material transmutation, this ancient practice harnesses aetheric resonance frequencies to realign the vibrational signature of metals, consciousness, and even planetary energies."

  Artist: Fabrizio Cotognini
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-05-2025, 07:27 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"From April 3 to July 19, 2025, Milan ’s BUILDING GALLERY welcomes Transitum, the solo exhibition of Fabrizio Cotognini (Macerata, 1983), curated by Marina Dacci. It is a project that crosses the entire gallery space, articulating itself in a path dense with historical references and alchemical suggestions. More than 90 works, including microcastings, sculptures, installations and drawings, shape a layered narrative in which art becomes a tool for investigating transformation. Cotognini’s research is nourished by references to mythology, epic and alchemy, translating these elements into a reflection on metamorphosis, understood as the evolution of identity and the change of matter."

Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-05-2025, 07:23 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - Replies (5)

The HOTLY ANTICIPATED adult debut novel by the beloved, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING author of the Caraval and Once Upon a Broken Heart series, Stephanie Garber.

"It starts with a class in an old movie theater. Folklore 517: Local Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor. Most students believe the Professor’s stories are just fiction, but Holland St. James has always been convinced that magic is real. When she tracks down a local legend named the Watch Man, who can supposedly tell you when you’ll die, the world finally makes sense. Except that the Watch Man tells her she will die at midnight tomorrow unless she finds an ancient object called the Alchemical Heart."

  Video: The Alchemical Marriage
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-05-2025, 07:14 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Alchemical Marriage is one of the most enigmatic and transformative concepts in esoteric history—a mystical union of opposites that promises not just spiritual awakening, but the birth of the divine self. Far more than a metaphor, this sacred fusion of masculine and feminine, light and dark, spirit and matter has been encoded in alchemical texts, Jungian psychology, and ancient rituals for centuries. In this deep dive, we unravel the secrets of the Hieros Gamos (sacred marriage), its role in the alchemists "Great Work," and how this timeless wisdom holds the key to personal and cosmic transformation."
