"The Daoist canon is the definitive fifteenth century compilation of texts concerning ritual, alchemical and meditation practices within Daoist religion. Many of these texts are undated and anonymous, so dating them is essential for a clear understanding of the development of Chinese alchemy, and the place of these texts in history.Ho Peng Yoke's Explorations in Daoism brings together an extraordinary compendium of data on alchemical knowledge in China, describing the methods used for dating important alchemical texts in the Daoist canon, and reconstructing and translating a number of alchemical texts that exist only in fragments scattered throughout the Daoist canon, pharmacopoeia and other compendia.This book provides a clear guide for students and scholars about the methods required for dating and reconstituting texts using techniques that can be applied to other areas of traditional Chinese culture also. As such, this book will appeal to those interested in Chinese alchemy, the history of science, Daoism and Chinese history."

The Synthetic Dream: Transhumanism as Myth, Machine, and Control

"Alchemy was never really about lead. It was about man. The crucibles and furnaces, the retorts and alembics, were props in a drama of transformation: matter redeemed, base metal transfigured into gold, mortality into immortal tincture. The philosopher’s stone was never simply wealth; it was the key to transfiguration. Eternal life, incorruptibility, the body as vessel to be purified and reborn. In that smoke and fire, the first prototypes of the posthuman were dreamed. The Hermeticists and Rosicrucians refined this myth into liturgy. Their manifestos promised ascent, illumination, a breaking of human limits through secret knowledge. Their adepts imagined orders of perfected men—illuminati—whose heightened being justified their rule. What the alchemists staged in secrecy, the Rosicrucians broadcast as destiny: humanity, perfected by hidden technē, rising toward the divine. Replace “tincture” with “upload,” “order” with “platform,” and the symmetry is undeniable. Transhumanism is the Rosicrucian fantasy stripped of incense and replated in UX chrome."

"The word 'magic' evokes many ideas, from a stage magician performing illusions to the pyrotechnics of witches and wizards depicted in movies and on television. But there is a more practical definition of magic - the attempt to affect the real world, one's self, or other people by tapping into mental abilities and unseen mystical forces. The keys to doing this have been closely guarded in the past, leading to the perception of magic as an occult pursuit. Yet, magic and magical traditions have existed in some form in almost every culture throughout history. Similarly, alchemy is a form of magic that involves harnessing the elements to achieve enlightenment and wisdom."

"Curious Cures in Cambridge Libraries is a Wellcome-funded project to conserve, catalogue and digitise 186 medieval manuscripts that contain in excess of 8,000 unedited medical recipes. In addition, it will harness cutting-edge Handwritten Text Recognition technology by using Transkribus to produce full-text transcriptions of these recipes. This will open their contents to health researchers in the humanities and social sciences, enabling keyword and faceted searching and detailed comparative analysis on a scale not possible hitherto. This will not only help researchers to pinpoint recipes relevant to their work, but will also enable them to understand how this kind of medical knowledge evolved, how recipes were tried and tested over time, and what connections might exist between such practical recipe books and scholarly medical treatises."

"In Alchemical Psychology, James Hillman shares, "If alchemy is the art of fire, and alchemists, “artists of fire,” as many texts repeat, then the alchemist must be able to “know” all the kinds of fire, degrees of fire, sources of fire, fuels of fire."

Let us then approach burnout through the lucid eyes of the alchemist, knowing that the magnum opus (the great work of life) requires an intimate knowing and careful tending of fire. It fuels their efforts, both outwardly in the flames of the furnace, and inwardly, through the careful application of their devotion, attention, effort. Their fluency ensures they are not careless, for it has dire consequences — the prima materia destroyed prematurely, the process rushed beyond its natural progression, stalling out because you haven’t raised the heat enough.

"When we look at this operation through the lens of alchemical theurgy it looks much closer to the practice we are aiming for than any of the previous practices we have looked at. The process of purification is very similar to that which we see in alchemy. When conducting an alchemical operation, the steps may not be exactly the same as those presented by Abramelin but the intended goal of purification is the same. It is purifying your body and spirit and showing the higher powers you are working with that you are worthy of conducting the operation. This purification includes both that of the user’s body and spirit, the location being used, the building, the tools and any other items that may be used during the operation."
