"This dissertation aims to establish a basis when studying the history of alchemy in medieval Islam, to make clear what is alchemists’ alchemical theory and what is not in spite of affirmative claims, to reassess understanding of alchemy among modern scholars, to explore experimentalism in alchemy and to examine al-Rāzī’s alchemy, use of experience, and the relationship between his alchemy and medicine. Through the study, the diversity in the views about alchemy throughout medieval Islam, the necessity to distinguish theories of alchemists from those of non-alchemists, and the risk of inclusion of alchemy in “occult” subjects without any condition are suggested. Regarding experimentalism, it was promising to use those existing frameworks to understand experience and experimentalism in medieval Islam. The investigation of al-Rāzī revealed his variation of the use of experiences and denial of the nature-art theory. An unstudied source attributed to al-Rāzī suggests the connection between his medicine and alchemy, which has never been found explicitly."

"An Astrological Map to Shadow Alchemy
Dionysia Soleil
This is a spiritual and psychological manual that fuses astrology, depth psychology, and alchemical philosophy into a living ritual of transformation. Framed around the archetype of Black Moon Lilith, the book guides readers through the repressed dimensions of psyche and soul—the exiled feminine, instinct, and rebellion against societal constraints.

"The collection Alchemy and Culture offers a deep dive into the multifaceted legacy of alchemy, demonstrating its inextricable link with various aspects of human culture. In three key essays,readers learn how ancient alchemical ideas and practices extended far beyond the laboratory, permeating art, literature,philosophy, and even economics. James Elkins explores the complexrelationship between alchemical symbolism and modern art, revealing points of attraction and repulsion. Henry C. Bolton reveals the surprising influence of alchemy on numismatics, showing how the dream of transmuting metals left a tangible mark on coins and medals. Elizabeth Holmes analyses the profound impact of Hermetic philosophy on the work of the outstanding poet Henry Vaughan, demonstrating how mystical teachings shaped his poetic world. The collection is supplemented with illustrations, accompanying articles and comments. The collection concludes with an afterword by V. V. Vinokurov, Doctor of Philology."
