  The Alchemist in Literature
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-19-2025, 11:22 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

By Theodore Ziolkowski

"Unlike most other studies of alchemy and literature, which focus on alchemical imagery in poetry of specific periods or writers, this book traces the figure of the alchemist in Western literature from its first appearance in the Eighth Circle of Dante's Inferno down to the present."

  Tarot: The Temperance Card & Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-19-2025, 10:48 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The Art card, known as Temperance in traditional decks, embodies the sacred process of alchemy—melding opposites into a unified whole. Unlike mere moderation, this is an active transformation where raw forces are refined into something greater. Traditionally depicted as an angel or an alchemist pouring liquid between vessels, the card illustrates the fusion of fire and water, passion and wisdom, chaos and order. One foot on land and one in water signifies the fluid dance between the material and spiritual realms, while the distant path toward the rising sun symbolizes the journey toward enlightenment."
