"According to Zosimus of Panopolis, a fourth century alchemical apologist, the “sons of God” mentioned briefly in Genesis taught the alchemical arts to their human lovers in gratitude for having sex with them. Tertullian, an early Church Father, agreed with this and thought that these “fallen angels,” or Nephilim, had the evil intention of seducing human woman with the joys of “mundane pleasures.”

"A remarkable man has passed away. Joost Ruben Ritman was a man with a mission, patriarch of a large and colorful family, an Amsterdammer through and through, a world citizen, a visionary. As an entrepreneur, lover of culture and art collector, Rosicrucian and founder of the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica, he built bridges between worlds and people. He had the ability to make the invisible visible and the impossible possible. Joost Ritman was generous, spirited, untamable, elusive and persistent. Guided by his inner compass, faithful to the love that conquers all, he was a passionate guardian of the freedom of the spirit.
“Everything is visible to who has mind. Who contemplates himself with his mind, knows himself, knows the All: the All is within man.” Hermes Trismegistus"

Surrealism and Operative Alchemy: The Secret Language at the Origins of the Surrealist Movement

by Patrick Lepetit

"Over the last century the symbols and strangeness of the surrealists have become world-renowned, but what isn’t so well-known is the hidden relationship between surrealism and alchemy. The works of both traditions not only had a decisive influence on each other but created a unique path for alchemy to leave its underground workshops to shine in the light of popular culture...Patrick Lepetit draws on rare primary documents to reveal the connections between surrealism, 20th-century alchemy, and 19th-century occultism."

"The man who styled himself Paracelsus (1483-1541) lived a turbulent life in turbulent times. Vastly ambitious, he professed a new therapeutic that was at once Christian and Germanic. Developed in dozens of treatises that cover fourteen stout volumes in the standard edition of his medical and philosophical works,1 it was specifically Christian because based on a view of Man and Nature that he found in the Bible and preached in lay sermons.2 In this view, God created diseases and remedies as part of Nature, the diseases had natural causes, and the cures were revealed to Man over time. By the end of time, which Paracelsus thought was fast approaching, all cures would be known, and they would be natural ones. The good physician only appeared to work wonders."

Marco Beretta

"The book illustrates how glass played and important role in ancient technical and alchemical literature, and how the chemical operations devised to improve glass making inspired alchemists to better define the theoretical boundaries of their discipline and, more specifically, the notion of transmutation."
