  Medical aspects of late European alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-31-2025, 07:34 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Vladimir Karpenko.

"Medical trends in European alchemy are discussed. There existed a direction that in curing illnesses made use of various substances known to alchemists. The origin can be traced back to the 14th century and further development of this trend has later led to iatrochemistry. Beside this, there existed all the time the second direction called alchemical medicine. It searched for miraculous universal medicine using for this purpose approaches known from attempts in metal transmutation. Several examples of the confused world of alchemical medicine are brought."

Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-30-2025, 06:15 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This paper will provide a map of historical relations between alchemy and medicine in Byzantine period promoting a deeper understanding of the various interactions that can be historically ascertained. The main question is how alchemy is being related to other disciplines, how it affects everyday life, what technological applications it brings about, what interactions can be detected between alchemical and medical practices."

  Video: What If Gupta Alchemists Brewed Elixirs for Immortality?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-28-2025, 11:58 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Ancient Sanskrit texts like the Rasaratna Samuccaya describe in detail the purification of mercury through 8 stages, allegedly producing compounds that could heal, regenerate tissue, and extend human lifespan for centuries. Archaeological evidence reveals advanced laboratories, complex apparatus, and chemical residues still puzzling modern scientists. Emperor Chandragupta II reportedly lived into his 80s – a rare phenomenon in ancient times – alongside court physicians renowned for their unusual longevity. But what if the alchemists succeeded? Could they have gone underground, transmitting their knowledge into medieval European alchemy, Islamic medicine, and even modern science?"

  Video series: School of Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-28-2025, 11:39 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"I am interested in the work of C.G. Jung both alchemy and psychotherapy, a process of transformation from primordial being to higher Self. I like to engage in experiential learning inspired by courses in psychology, philosophy, mythology, religion, and culture, which deepen ones ability to link archetypal, alchemical and dreamwork themes. Most of all to answer a call that has beckoned me for some time.School of Alchemy aim is to participate in our own unfoldment. It is our sacred duty to develop and cultivate one's Self by living an observed life to answer the question who am I, why am I here, and what is my role in this world.

  Why does gold explode purple?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-28-2025, 11:35 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Fulminating gold – the name comes from the older meaning of “fulminate”, viz, “explode” – was the first high explosive ever discovered. The earliest reference to its creation comes from 1585, in a book by the German alchemist Sebald Schwaerzer, and it’s been popular ever since with just about everybody – from academic chemists to popular YouTubers."
