  Coelum Philosophorum
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-10-2025, 12:41 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

Coelum Philosophorum, Translated by S. Bacstrom, M.D.

Coelum Philosophorum is an excellent treatise thought to have been written in the 14th century by
John Cremer who devoted over 30 years to the study of alchemy. It was translated by Dr. S. Bacstrom,
M.D. in 1787 from a German alchemical book published in 1739. Elaborate directions are provided
to obtain powerful and safe medicines from each of the seven metals and various minerals. The
treatise gives the procedures to obtain tinctures, oils, and elixirs using both the dry and humid way to
obtain the Hermetical Treasure.

  The Philosophy of Chemistry
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-10-2025, 12:23 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Okan Nurettin Okur

"Imagine a chemist and a philosopher going on a long walk. Do you think they could discover common ground while looking at nature together? On the one hand, we have a scientist, who believes in the infallibility of formulas, who accepts that numbers cannot lie, who measures and analyzes, who seeks the answer in the world he sees through the lens of a microscope; on the other hand, a philosopher, whose only tool is reason, and who questions everything to the finest detail, and yet is never fully convince..."

  Animals in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-03-2025, 02:42 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Animals have always played a fascinating role in stories and traditions, but in alchemy, they take on a whole new meaning. You’ll find creatures like lions, snakes, and birds popping up in alchemical texts, each carrying deep symbolic messages. These animals aren’t just decorations—they represent complex ideas about transformation, power, and the mysteries of nature."
