  Short Movie: Trial by Woods
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 01:01 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Trial By Woods" is a short movie about an alchemical journey of self-discovery (or rather, self re-discovery) through the ghastly woods inhabited by Cryptofonte, the Judge of the Woods, who haunts anyone who enter its territory and discloses the deepest sides of their mind, then compels them to undergo a transmutation process according to their true nature."

  Alchemy in Jungian Analysis
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 12:57 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Jung thought that alchemy, looked at from a symbolic and not a scientific eye, could be regarded as one of the precursors of modern study of the Unconscious and, in particular, of analytical interest in the transformation of personality. The alchemists projected their internal processes into what they were doing, and, as they carried out their various operations, enjoyed deep, passionate emotional experiences along with spiritual ones. ...Like analytical psychology and psychoanalysis in their time, alchemy can be seen as a subversive and underground force: its vivid and earthy imagery contrasting with the stylised and sexless expression of medieval Christianity, just as psychoanalysis startled Victorian prudishness and complacency."

  Rampling: Alchemical Magic
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 12:51 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In the European Middle Ages, both alchemists and magicians sought to accomplish material change by manipulating the natural powers of matter. Modern historians of science attempt the same when reconstructing historical recipes in a laboratory setting. This article asks how “impossible” medieval practices can be visualized and replicated, focusing on the Natural Magic, one of a group of related treatises pseudonymously attributed to Ramon Llull. This treatise describes the generation of “shaped spirits”: language that evokes both alchemical images of allegorical beasts and the suffumigations of ritual magic. Reconstruction suggests that this language also alludes to practice—the smoky vapors produced within the alchemical vessel."

"A General Look At Alchemy - an introduction to the origin of alchemy. Starting with the “Father of Alchemy” Hermes Trismegistus, an Egyptian Sage from an unknown period, through Biblical figures, the Rosicrucians, and to our days practices of alchemy. The book also describes a series of concepts found in texts related to alchemy such as: The seven metals, The seed, The first matter, The Philosopher’s Stone, Dragons and many more, making this introduction a valuable little guide to further readings.

  Bahá'í Alchemy sources
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 12:30 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Is it within human power, O Hakím, to effect in the constituent elements of any of the minute and indivisible particles of matter so complete a transformation as to transmute it into purest gold?  Perplexing and difficult as this may appear, the still greater task of converting satanic strength into heavenly power is one that We have been empowered to accomplish.  The Force capable of such a transformation transcendeth the potency of the Elixir itself.  The Word of God, alone, can claim the distinction of being endowed with the capacity required for so great and far-reaching a change."

  Liber de secretis naturae seu de quinta essentia
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 12:25 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The Liber de secretis naturae seu de quinta essentia is the central work in the Pseudo-Lullian Alchemical corpus, a large collection of as many as 143 different texts that circulated as the work of Raymond Lull (Ramon Llull or Raimundus Lullus; 1232-1316), the famous Catalan philosopher, theologian, and mystic. Notably, the author of this work used large sections of an earlier work by John of Rupescissa (c. 1310-c. 1362), De consideratione quintae essentiae omnium rerum, which links alchemy with medicine by describing the process of producing aqua vitae (Latin for "water of life") by the distillation of wine; per Rupescissa, the resulting substance could prevent corruption and decay, and thus prevent illness and premature aging. The Liber de secretis naturae, in contrast with Rupescissa’s text, is not primarily interested in the medical application of the quintessence, but instead interprets these ideas as part of an alchemical system that includes medicine, the transmutation of metals, and the artificial production of precious stones."

  Steven M. Rosen: Dreams, Death, Rebirth
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 12:22 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Steven Rosen explores the profound mystery of death and rebirth from psychological, philosophical, and alchemical perspectives.       

"Our greatest certainty and greatest mystery is our mortality. In this book, Steven M. Rosen explores the profound mystery of alchemical death and rebirth from psychological, philosophical, and alchemical perspectives. To model, embody, and contain the paradoxical transformations involved in the death-rebirth enigma, Rosen employs a paradoxical form of mathematics: the topology of the Moebius strip and Klein bottle. As we follow this alchemical odyssey of death and rebirth, the author makes himself transparent through his dreams and brings himself tangibly into his text so as to enact a dialectic of ego and Self."

  Thoth’s Soul Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 08-05-2025, 12:17 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Beyond mythology, Thoth’s Soul Alchemy holds a significant place in hermeticism, a philosophical and spiritual tradition attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic figure combining Thoth with the Greek god Hermes. In this context, Thoth is seen as a master of universal laws, teaching principles like those in the Kybalion (e.g., mentalism, vibration, polarity). The Emerald Tablets, esoteric texts attributed to Thoth-Hermes, are said to contain instructions for spiritual transformation, alchemy, and mastery over reality. These texts, while debated for historical authenticity, emphasize Thoth’s Soul Alchemy role is a guide for awakening Consciousness."
