  Video in Spanish: LA HISTORIA DE LA QUÍMICA I
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-27-2025, 10:45 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

INTRODUCCIÓN A LA HISTORIA DE LA QUÍMICA I. LOS TIEMPOS DE LA MAGIA Y EL ARTE.

Desde los comienzos de la historia, la materia ofrece experiencias espectaculares a los seres humanos. El hombre, desde siempre, se ha preocupado en observarla con atención, en conocerla y en transformarla. Y esto por una razón elemental: del mundo natural que le rodeaba, debía extraer sus medios de vida.La materia ha sido objeto de estudio desde diversas perspectivas. Lo ha sido desde la filosofía y las ciencias de la naturaleza hasta las ciencias ocultas. Una de las ciencias de la naturaleza que estudia las reacciones de la materia y sus propiedades es La Química.En la actualidad, a pesar de que para el hombre comœn el ámbito de la química pueda parecer algo ajeno o exótico, su presencia y repercusión en muestra vida cotidiana es constante.

  Astronomy and Chen Zhixu’s Neidan Theory
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-27-2025, 10:14 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Chen Zhixu (陳致虛), a prominent Taoist master of the Yuan Dynasty, significantly contributed to aspects such as the creation of Taoist genealogy and the theoretical interpretation of Neidan (内丹 internal alchemy studies). Astronomy of different aspects served as an important intellectual resource for him. Chen Zhixu not only explained the correlative cosmological model in traditional internal alchemy theories, but also introduced systematic calendrical knowledge to broaden the astronomical foundation of his theoretical propositions, thereby strengthening the connection between internal alchemy practices and astronomical research."

  Symposium: The Alchemical Imagination
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-27-2025, 10:13 AM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

The Alchemical Imagination - 11th Annual Art and Psyche Symposium
By Limerick School of Art and Design
Apr 18 2026 from 9:30am to 5pm GMT+1


"The Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung dedicated much of the final three decades of his life to alchemical research. In his words “only after I had familiarized myself with alchemy did I realize that the unconscious is a process, and that the psyche is transformed or developed by the relationship of the ego to the contents of the unconscious” (1963, p. ). In a further excerpt, we read:

“Alchemy is rather like an undercurrent to the Christianity that ruled on the surface. It is to this surface as the dream is to consciousness, and just as the dream compensates the conflicts of the conscious mind, so alchemy endeavours to fill in the gaps left open by the Christian tension of opposites” (1944, p. 23).

During this event, our 11th annual Art and Psyche symposium, we explore the relevance of an alchemical sensibility for our times, and of what it means to ‘live alchemically.’ We invite you to a close listening and engagement with our presenters on the topic of The Alchemical Imagination in relation to the challenges of our times."

  Masonic: Alchemical Symbols in the Chamber of Reflection
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-27-2025, 10:03 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"To step for the first time into a chamber of reflection is to enter a world both shadowy and intriguing. You might expect only a few dusty objects in these small, dimly lit spaces. Yet, every detail is significant. At the very heart of it all, the alchemical symbols are there, waiting to be deciphered by the soul seeking light."

  Brill Fellowship: Alchemical Symbols & Notation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-27-2025, 10:00 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Ellen Hausner (Oxford University Faculty of History) is using a Brill Fellowship to study the development of symbols and notations in late medieval and early modern alchemical texts, so-called characters:

“Some of these manuscripts have very colourful and beautiful illustrations, but what I’m primarily interested in are these symbols. They are neither figurative images nor writing, but abstract linear forms. I’m studying the development of their use in alchemical texts from 1350 to 1700. What’s fascinating is that they were meant to both communicate and at the same time keep things secret. Alchemical authors clearly had an urge to systemize their work, but due to the difficulties of precise identification, we see lots of different local systems pop up during this time. The only fixed characters are the seven planets, which represent the most important metals.”
