"The Harry Potter series of fantasy novels by J. K. Rowling is one of the most translated series of all time, being available in 85 languages. This includes languages with fewer than a million speakers such as Basque, Greenlandic, and Welsh, as well as the Classical languages Latin and Ancient Greek. Additionally, regional adaptations of the books have been made to accommodate regional dialects such as the American English edition and the Valencian adaptation of Catalan."

"Alejandro Jodorowsky is another filmmaker whose name is practically synonymous with visions. "The Holy Mountain" is perhaps his ultimate surreal journey; wild, bizarre, psychedelic, and overwhelming. It tells the story of a Christ -like figure ( Horacio Salinas ) who, under the guidance of an alchemist, joins a group of disciples representing different planets on their quest to ascend a sacred mountain in search of enlightenment. Along the way, Jodorowsky unleashes some of cinema's most shocking and unforgettable imagery. We see frogs and lizards dressed as conquistadors, reenactments of the Spanish conquest, exploding wax figures, industrialized torture chambers, and alchemical rituals."

I can't find the whole movie on-line but here's a discussion:
"This week we dive into Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 acid-trip masterpiece, The Holy Mountain! Requested by our viewers after our El Topo discussion, we tackle this visually stunning, mind-bending film full of surreal imagery, spiritual allegory, and social satire. From bizarre religious symbolism to outrageous production choices (seriously, where did they get all those animals?! , we break down the madness of Jodorowsky’s visionary world."

"The Power of Soul is a practical approach to knowing the spiritual world emanation, represented by the twelve virtues and how it works into our soul and bodily life in furthering our evolution into humanity. By coming to a "KNOWING" of the spiritual, soul and bodily interplay of the twelve virtues, our incarnation can become a conscious soul life that is connected to the spiritual world, enabling virtue to be lived right here on earth. It is a practical guide complete with the phenomenology of the 12 virtues as related to humanity, alchemical processes and exercises for the reader to experience."

"Step back in time with Fratelli, an antique serif font that will take your designs on a journey to the past. This carefully crafted typeface is a true gem, retrieved from an alchemy volume dated 1577, featuring unique shapes and imperfections that make it one-of-a-kind. Fratelli offers a complete set of characters, including uppercases, lowercases, numbers, basic punctuation, and international language support, providing you with endless design possibilities. Plus, the package includes a set of five beautiful illustrations from the iconic ‘Symbola Heroica’ volume by Claude Paradin, originally printed in Lyon, 1551."

Not specifically alchemical but I am sure of interest to many, and Hereward's stuff is always high quality:
"In two weeks I’ll be starting a new online course, and if you’re interested in the use of mirrors as portals to divine and infernal realms, I’d love to see you there. The course is “Gnosis II: The Divine Mirror”, and it’s part of a series I’ve been teaching at Kosmos Institute on the doctrines and practices of the Western gnostic traditions. It takes place on nine Saturdays live on Zoom, beginning September 20 from 14.00-15.30 PST/Californian time, cost US$333 (with recordings available if you can’t make it live)."

"Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. These iconic lines from Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” evoke the image of a bubbling cauldron, a magical concoction of ingredients that brings about both fear and fascination. But beyond the theatrical portrayal, there is a deeper symbolism at play. The witches magic cauldron parallels the Taoist concept of alchemy and the “golden stove” or “lower cauldron” known as the dantian. In this blog post, we will explore the parallels between Shakespeare’s play, the Taoist practice of alchemy, and the Hero’s Journey as outlined by Joseph Campbell."

Third in a series on Trinity, Quaternity, and the Fifth Essence
Sushmita Mukherjee
"This understanding echoes across traditions—the Hindu concept of akasha, the subtle element of space itself, the primordial vibration from which all other elements emerge and into which they return. Whether called aether or akasha or quintessence, it points toward the same recognition: there exists a fifth principle, both immanent and transcendent, that makes the dance of the four elements possible."
