"Alchemy is an ancient philosophical and spiritual practice that seeks to transform base metals into gold, but more profoundly, it aims to transform the human soul by uniting opposites such as masculine and feminine, hot and cold, and conscious and unconscious. This mystical pursuit of self-transformation has inspired countless artists, writers, and thinkers throughout history with its promise of personal growth, spiritual enlightenment, and ultimate union with the divine."

"The study of medieval alchemical texts is significantly limited by their inaccessibility on several levels—be it the lack of critical editions, their esoteric language, complex textual tradition and the unclear relationships in the definition of their genres and their registers. Additionally, the historiographical problem of the relationship between allegorical imagery and proto-chemical procedures in alchemy, along with its genres, still remains unresolved. This study explores the potential to expand the taxonomy of alchemical genres by integrating them into a broader classification of literary types, as verified through quantitative text analysis."

"Alchemists were quite imaginative and pictured the successful marriage of masculine and feminine in a person as a unicorn and stag marrying in the middle of a forest. And why not, because it is a magical event indeed. One becomes a whole person, able to merge both thinking and feeling with what the Egyptians poetically referred to as the "intelligence of the Heart"."

"This essay explores the profound parallels between the Talmudic concept of the talmid chacham who is nokem v'noter "like a snake," the dual nature of venom as both poison and medicine, and the Torah's characterization as either sam chayim (elixir of life) or sam mavet (deadly poison). Drawing from classical Jewish sources, particularly the Degel Machaneh Ephraim's mystical interpretation, we examine how ancient wisdom traditions understood the fundamental duality inherent in powerful substances—whether they be sacred knowledge, natural compounds, or modern pharmaceuticals. The study concludes with a critical analysis of contemporary pharmaceutical practices, exploring how the ancient principle of dosage determining poison versus medicine has been both vindicated and violated in modern medical practice."

"Medieval alchemists elevated sulfur to one of their three fundamental principles (tria prima), alongside mercury and salt. To these early chemists, sulfur represented the soul, combustibility, and masculine energy. Its alchemical symbol—a triangle atop a cross—became known as “Satan’s Cross” due to religious associations with hellfire. Despite these mystical overtones, alchemists’ experiments with sulfur laid crucial groundwork for modern chemistry."

"Dark, therefore, is an exoteric meditation on the Hermetic view of the world. Hermes was the Greek name of the ancient Egyptian deity known as Thoth. In antiquity, it was believed that he was a real person who helped humanity develop civilization, including medicine, written language, alchemy and astrology. Dark features several references to the Emerald Tablet, also known in Latin as the Tabula Smaragdina, which is a part of the Hermetic writings reputed to contain the secrets of creation. A painting depicting the Emerald Tablet by Heinrich Khunrath from 1606 is seen in multiple places throughout the series, including tattooed on the back of one of the characters."
