" There was an increasing tendency for atomists to borrow in an opportunist way from both the mechanical and natural minima traditions as well as from the alchemical tradition which employed atomistic theories of its own as Newman (1991, 143–190 and 1994, 92–114) has documented. Thus an Aristotelian proponent of the natural minima tradition, Daniel Sennert, whose main interest was in chemistry in medical contexts, drew on the work of the alchemists as well as that of the minima theorists, employed minima in physical as well as chemical contexts, and insisted that his atomism had much in common with that of Democritus."

"We analyzed “unknown words”: they turned out to be alchemical terms from the Schola secreta sapientiae tradition.

Result: more than 90% of the Voynich Manuscript’s sentences follow Latin grammatical rules (specifically, medieval alchemical Latin)."

The alchemical cogs of history spun and danced as they drove modernity. It is apt that the image below hearkens to such cogs.

Here we find an incredible Newtonian image, albeit with curious alchemical roots.

"To the alchemists, water was represented through the process of Solutio. Dissolving. To reduce a substance to its particles and wash it clean. This was so fundamental to alchemy that the phrase Solve et Coagula was their main motto. Dissolve then reform. Surrender to the oceanic bliss of the unconscious, and then rebuild the self that is found there. There is no better metaphor for deep inner work."

"To paraphrase Gurdjieff: without the Alchemical Crucible, transformation is impossible."

"This post is about the strange parallels between artists and alchemists—through history, through matter, through psyche. It’s also about pigments, poisons, metaphysics, light, rot, and transcendence. And at its core, maybe this path isn’t about being human at all—but about transcending it."

"In this podcast, Timothy Ryan explores a more mystical interpretation of L. Frank Baum’s classic book The Wizard of Oz, turning Dorothy’s adventures into an allegory for the mystic’s journey, utilizing traditional alchemical symbols and operations as Dorothy embarks on a quest toward reintegration and the discovery of the Philosopher’s Stone"
