  Laboratory vs. Inner Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-29-2025, 07:12 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Alchemy has often been placed in the realm of mysticism, bizarre symbolic illustrations, and secretive societies, but its origins reveal a more intricate and multifaceted saga. It emerged at the crossroads of science, mysticism, and philosophy, evolving over centuries in various cultural contexts. From the Egyptian art of transformation, the Greek philosophical traditions, to the meticulous Chinese Taoist practices, alchemy has woven itself into both the practical and metaphorical tapestries of human understanding. Central to its evolution are two overarching paths: the outer physical pursuit often associated with laboratory alchemy, and the internal, transformative journey known as inner or spiritual alchemy. These two trajectories, though distinct, often mirror one another in purpose and symbolism."

  Prague’s Alchemy and Skeletons
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-29-2025, 07:03 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Imagine a city where cobblestones glow with centuries-old secrets, where golden spires reach for the sky, and where every shadow might be hiding remnants of a forgotten magic. Welcome to Prague, a city that hums with mystery and pulses with the strange marriage of science and sorcery. Here, ancient laboratories hide behind gothic facades, skeletons dangle in candlelit crypts, and the line between fact and legend is as thin as a whisper on the night breeze."

  Homunculi: Fabricating the Artificial Man
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-29-2025, 06:58 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Matthew A. McIntosh.

"In the medieval and early modern period, the boundaries between science, mysticism, and religion were fluid and permeable. The physician, alchemist, and philosopher Theophrastus von Hohenheim—better known as Paracelsus (1493–1541)—embodied this synthesis. Rejecting the Galenic traditions dominant in contemporary medicine, Paracelsus sought to merge empirical observation with spiritual insight. His work De Natura Rerum (Of the Nature of Things), a series of treatises first printed in the late sixteenth century, epitomizes this endeavor. Among its most intriguing and controversial passages is a procedure Paracelsus claims can fabricate an “artificial man”—a homunculus. This essay explores that procedure in its historical, philosophical, and symbolic context, arguing that Paracelsus’s artificial man should be understood not only as a speculative alchemical product, but also as an expression of a broader vision in which man, nature, and the divine are intrinsically interwoven."
