  A manual of exorcism by Zaccaria Visconti
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-31-2026, 11:26 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The book is a masterpiece of exorcistic literature, providing priests with practical tools to identify and combat demonic presences. In addition to containing numerous exorcistic formulas, including the famous anathema "Vade Retro Satana" (Step Back, Satan), it offers alchemical remedies to cure ailments attributed to possession and describes in disturbing detail infernal metamorphoses, such as lycanthropy. It also includes an analysis of the heretical groups of the time and a meticulous cataloging of the Devil's titles: Satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Asmodaeus… and his various manifestations."

Zaccaria Visconti (c.1570-1630) was an exorcist and member of the Barnabite Order & Saint'Ambrogio of Milan, who taught the art of exorcism at the University of Pavia, he was one of the five priests of Milan authorized to practice exorcisms.

  Operative Alchemy: Essential Oils
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-31-2026, 11:08 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"In an age of synthetic drugs and centralized medical authority, Operative Alchemy reclaims an ancient path to healing—one that transforms the practitioner as much as the plant. This book bridges the lost wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus, Paracelsus, and Avicenna with modern essential oil practice, offering a complete system for physical, emotional, and spiritual transmutation. Through detailed historical accounts and step-by-step protocols, readers learn to distill their own remedies, blend oils according to alchemical principles, and apply the Doctrine of Signatures to select botanicals that resonate with their unique needs."

  Linda Hall Scientist of the Day: Sendivogius
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-31-2026, 10:59 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Michael Sendivogius, a Polish alchemist and physician, was born on Feb. 2, 1566, in Łukowica. He was educated at Kraków, and spent his career at a number of German and Polish universities, before moving to Bohemia and the court of Emperor Rudolf II at Prague, about the time that Tycho Brahe and then Johannes Kepler were there. Here Sendivogius published his best known and influential book, Novum Lumen Chymicum, (New Light of Alchemy, 1604)."

  Thesis: Weston, Pulter, & the Secret Language of Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-31-2026, 10:52 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

“Those That the Hidden Chemic Art Profess:” Elizabeth Jane Weston, Hester Pulter, and the Secret Language of Alchemy"

"Highlighting the hidden alchemical significance of Weston’s and Pulter’s works sheds light on the complex ways that women writers contributed to the development and propagation of alchemical and proto-scientific knowledge in the early modern period. Studying Weston’s and Pulter’s poetry, I argue, might illustrate how early modern women writing in genres rarely considered scientific could actively contribute to the trajectory of the early modern alchemical and scientific fields."

  Movie: Merhige's Begotten
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-31-2026, 10:45 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Motifs within the alchemical, gnostic and hermetic traditions permeate Begotten; Mathijs and Sexton note that Merhige "makes perhaps the most serious attempt to visualize elements of Dionysian orgiastic cultism". By the 1980s New Age beliefs and practices including alchemy, western esotericism and hermeticism had grown in prominence. Merhige was a follower of these philosophies, and described Begotten and its creation as an "alchemical process.. [made to] bypass intellectual interpretation". The performances of the cast are ritualistic and symbolic, a trait that Merhige imbued into the film's narrative."
