  Major new website: Alchemy Lab
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-05-2026, 02:26 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This website is devoted to helping individuals understand and apply the principles of alchemy. Alchemy’s most basic tenet is that there are two ways of knowing reality. Learning to work with both of them is how the journey of transformation begins."

  Francisco Piria Castle, Uruguay
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-05-2026, 12:46 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Welcome to the Francisco Piria Castle, a place where 19th-century ambition took architectural form. This battlemented residence turned museum tells the story of Francisco Piria, the entrepreneur who transformed Uruguay's coastline and brought a touch of European grandeur to South America...What sets this castle apart is its hidden basement, where Piria conducted alchemical experiments. Though closed to visitors, this laboratory adds an air of mystery to the estate."

  Dennis Klocek: Christian Rosencreutz
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-05-2026, 12:29 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"The 1616 classic treasure of Western esoteric wisdom, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (traditionally attributed to Johann Valentinus Andreae) is one of three key manifestos of the Rosicrucians and alchemists in general. It narrates a story of Christian Rosenkreutz, who was invited to a miraculous castle to assist in the “chemical wedding” of the king and the queen―the husband and the bride.

Filled with alchemical metaphors, coded words, and images, Dennis Klocek describes―in his inimitable style―much of the profound meaning behind the colorful and surprising events throughout the seven-day “initiation” of Christian Rosenkreutz.

Each chapter is devoted to one of the seven days, featuring an overview, followed by fresh translations of the original text, and illumined by Klocek's comprehensive and unique commentaries―all of which providies an accessible introduction to the real meaning behind the Rosicrucian path of inner development."

"This video examines the complete alchemical process through seven distinct stages: Calcination, Dissolution, Separation, Conjunction, Fermentation, Distillation, and Coagulation. Each stage corresponds to specific psychological operations that dismantle the false self and reconstruct an integrated, conscious identity."

  Daoist Medicine: Incorporation of “Desire Transformation”
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-05-2026, 12:14 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Internal Boxing (neijiaquan 內家拳) is an advanced form of the Daoist gymnastic exercise of daoyin (導引). However, how it achieves a paradigmatic shift from qi/blood regulation to deep-level transmutation of sexual energy still requires further exploration. Therefore, it is of great significance to look into how Internal Boxing inheres and integrates various techniques of “desire transmutation” (zhuanyu 轉欲) from internal alchemy (neidan 內丹), thereby transcending traditional daoyin, bringing about a significant systematic reconfiguration in the model of body cultivation practices in Daoist medicine."

A Bibliographical Framework  for Citation Analysis of Isaac  Newton’s Alchemical Manuscripts

Alexandra E. Wingate

"Textual Cultures 18.2 (2025): 1–51. DOI 10.14434/tc.v18i2.42350A Bibliographical Framework  for Citation Analysis of Isaac  Newton’s Alchemical ManuscriptsAlexandra E. WingateAbst rAc tSince  2005,  the  Chymistry  of  Isaac  Newton  project  has  encoded  digital  editions of Newton’s alchemical manuscripts in Text Encoding Initiative-XML (TEI-XML). While encoding, team members have traced Newton’s numerous citations to alchemical sources to learn more about how Newton used sources and to date his manuscripts. This article compares the old and new frameworks for encoding these citations to demonstrate the need for a bibliographically informed  approach  to  encoding."
