"In The Alchemical Dream, a film produced by Sacred Mysteries and directed by Sheldon Rochlin, visionary author and counterculture luminary Terence McKenna relates some of the curious history of European alchemy, and the attempted creation of a religious utopia based on alchemical principles. Dressed as the famed Hermetic magician John Dee, McKenna strolls wistfully through the crumbling ruins and sweeping castle vistas of Eastern Europe discussing the lost secrets of alchemy. He gives us a tour of the last remaining alchemical laboratory in Heidelberg, and tells a fascinating story of political intrigue and bohemian experimentation in the 16th century."

"Tonight, we open the pages of the legendary Emerald Tablets of Thoth, a text that has haunted the dreams of alchemists, philosophers, and mystics for over a thousand years. Attributed to the Egyptian god of wisdom, Thoth—later known to the Greeks as Hermes Trismegistus—this mysterious artifact contains the foundational maxim of all esoteric thought: "As Above, So Below". We explore how this brief text emerged not from archaeological digs, but from the melting pot of Hellenistic Egypt and the scriptoriums of the Islamic Golden Age."

"Using archives and image databases, James Gardner’s practice looks to medieval and premodern documents to consider the ways in which images can be linked with cognitive processes. Lately, he’s been interested in how monastic cultures or other “Western esoteric traditions” used certain mnemonic images and figures to help along cognitive tasks like oration, liturgical practice, or symbol building. Looking closer, it gets quite strange as these mnemonic systems get tied into subjects like astral magic, hermetic philosophy, and even contemporary neuroscience."

Some of these are my personal No. 1 copies presented to me as the translator and are therefore unique and very collectable.

"Their location is known only by three people all over Europe, who know each other and who do not disclose it to anyone. Three caves, three portals, only three people know the secret, three like the vertices of a triangle, the three as the number of the trinity., a true and fascinating mystery. Over the centuries the hypothesis has been handed down that these portals can be found in the basement of Palazzo Madama or Piazza Castello or perhaps in the Royal Gardens. Elements to support these theses? Almost no one."

Tune in to this Herbal Radio episode to learn how animism and alchemy created the foundation for modern-day science through exploration and creativity."
