  Alchemy: An Illustrated History
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-02-2025, 09:28 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Flush with hundreds of illustrations, this book revisits the histories of chemistry, medicine, ideas, and culture through the lens of alchemy. The craft of alchemy has intrigued and mystified people since antiquity. Many early cultures are known to have experimented with chemical transformations: from dyes, glazes, and cosmetics in Bronze Age Egypt to life-extending elixirs pursued by scholars in ancient China and India. Many have also attempted to transform lead, mercury, and other metals into gold—and some claim to have succeeded. In this visually stunning volume, Philip Ball sets alchemy within the context of the history of science and culture, showing that it was not simply an esoteric fantasy but an important phase in the development of experimental science and natural philosophy."

  The Platonic Solids
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-02-2025, 09:19 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Platonic solids are the five unique convex polyhedral whose faces are all congruent regular polygons and where the same number of faces meet at each vertex. These elegant geometric forms – the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron – have fascinated mathematicians for millennia and have also been attributed deep symbolic meaning in various philosophical and esoteric traditions."

  The Role of Alchemy in Magic
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-02-2025, 09:11 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Magic has always captivated the human imagination, conjuring images of spellbooks, potions, and mystical rituals. But what if there was a deeper, more scientific aspect to magic? Enter alchemy, the ancient practice that combines the pursuit of transmutation with the mystical world of magic. Alchemy is not just about turning base metals into gold; it also involves the transformation of the self and the use of chemical reactions in spellcasting. In this article, we will explore the intriguing relationship between alchemy and magic, and how chemical reactions play a pivotal role in the effectiveness of spells."

  The Ninth Key of Basil Valentine

"What kind of door might an alchemical key unlock? The whole of alchemy is seemingly akin to a sealed vault — one in which even the keys themselves remain cryptic in their function. The image below shows one such key. It is an emblem known as the ninth key of Basil Valentine." (Colouring by Adam)

The Alchemical Door, also known as the Alchemy Gate or Magic Portal (Italian: Porta Alchemica or Porta Magica), is a monument built between 1678 and 1680 by Massimiliano Palombara, marquis of Pietraforte, in his residence, the villa Palombara, which was located on the Esquiline Hill, near Piazza Vittorio, in Rome.

  An Alchemical Vision of Rishi Yoga
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-02-2025, 08:43 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

“The Upanishadic vision sees the inter-connectedness of all life. The sacred Fire Yajna offers a doorway wherein all the elements can return to the ultimate source of the Atman which mysteriously resonates eternally in every cell of the body and in every level of dimensional awareness, existing in a realm outside of linear time / space, yet consuming all time. This visible Fire Sacrifice becomes an Antar-Yajna, an internal sacrifice, within the devotee radiates waves of Prana into the mind-space transforming the mind into a Manasika Yajna. When this occurs, every aspect of the mind is transformed into a sacred ritual space whereby every breath resounds “Swaha” and an alchemical vision is born as a flame within water.”

  Fiction: UC Ringuer's "The Proof of God"
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-02-2025, 08:40 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"An ancient abbey. A missing stone. A legend that could change everything. True facts.

In a centuries-old monastery south of Rome, a mysterious mosaic stone is stolen—one the monks believe holds the power of resurrection. Colonel Camarata turns to Professor Cariello, who happens to be conducting excavations nearby.

But the case quickly deepens. The stone may have once belonged to none other than Saint Thomas Aquinas—the philosopher who shaped Christian theology, argued for the existence of God, and, as legend has it, possessed the elusive Philosopher’s Stone.

As shadowy forces emerge and a monk turns up dead, Cariello finds himself entangled in a mystery far greater—and far more personal—than he expected.

A gripping blend of history, myth, and suspense—rooted in real events and age-old secrets."
