  Hindu Alchemy: Incineration
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 11:22 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The incineration process, as defined in Rasashastra, involves the burning of various substances, including minerals and metals, to transform them into medicinal forms or ashes. This method includes specific steps such as purification and heating to enhance beneficial properties. Additionally, it applies to different materials like Bimala, copper, haritala, diamonds, iron, and mica, highlighting its importance in medicinal applications. In contrast, scientific definitions of incineration focus on high-heat transformations for both medicinal purposes and waste reduction"

  Unlocking Baphomet
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 11:20 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Unlocking Baphomet: The Dark Symbol That Was Never What You Thought It Was"

By Marcus Hedare


"Few symbols ignite as much intrigue, fear, and fascination as the Baphomet. This horned, winged figure, part human, part beast, both male and female, has captivated occultists, theologians, artists, and conspiracy theorists for centuries. To some, the Baphomet is an unholy terror, a Satanic idol whispered about in dusty grimoires or accused of corrupting youth from atop courthouse statues. To others, it is a misunderstood spiritual cipher, rich with layers of alchemical, esoteric, and mystical meaning. It is often viewed as a visual hymn to the union of opposites and the reconciliation of the divine and the earthly."

  The Royal Art: An Introduction to Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 11:17 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

DB Smith.

"Where alchemy truly began is a mystery. Alchemy is a 2000 year old international tradition, spread across India, China, Egypt, the Near East and Western Europe. The origins of the alchemical tradition reach back into ancient Alexandria, Egypt in the West and Ch’in Dynasty China in the East. It is unknown whether alchemy arose independently in the Orient and the Occident or if it was passed from one half of the earth to the other."

Isaac Newton and the Alchemical Transformation of English Money: Order, Value, and the Royal Mint

51 Pages Posted: 18 Jun 2025



"Isaac Newton, renowned for his transformative contributions to physics and mathematics, also dedicated three decades of his later life (1696-1727) to the stewardship of England's (and later Great Britain's) currency as Warden and Master of the Royal Mint. This paper examines Newton's interventions during a period of acute monetary crisis, characterized by the severe degradation of silver coinage, rampant counterfeiting, and bimetallic instability-a system suffering from high "material, informational, and social entropy."

  Alchemy & the Myth of Osiris
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-16-2025, 04:09 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Great Work can be found in its entirety in the Egyptian myth of Osiris. Osiris was a god-king who was locked up in a chest by his brother Seth. Seth is the symbol of the powers of decomposition, the fire that causes putrefaction. The chest is the alchemical ‘vas’, or vessel. The chest was closed with nails and lead (lead is the metal of nigredo, or blackness). Then, Seth threw the chest into the ocean. The ocean is the alchemical water, or the second stage of the Great Work, when the earth has been reduced to water. The ocean itself is a symbol of the prima materia to which the matter has been reduced. The chest eventually washed ashore under a tamarind tree. The tamarind is also a symbol of the second stage, albedo or whiteness, because of its white blossom."

  Audiobook: Philosophical Letter of Philovite to Heliodorus
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-16-2025, 03:59 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Studious investigator, disciple of Hermes, child of philosophical science, do not imagine that it is easy to climb the rungs of the ladder of sapience and to reach the top, to win the palm of victory over the earthly infirmities, which is attached to its height. The way to heaven is narrow, thorny, rough and steep; it is the same with that of wisdom. We do not reach it and we cannot enter it without the wings of genius, that is to say without rising by means of a superior spirit, very penetrating, straight and simple, above the vulgar madman and the learned fools of the earth. For this science is fine and surpasses the ordinary forces of the mind."
