"Christian legend and myth also found fertile ground in the practices of alchemy. Through the perfection of metals the alchemists sought their own perfection and, indeed, the salvation of all matter. The alchemist sought to dissolve and then fuse his own physical matter and spirit with the prime matter of the universe. These efforts at the reduction into prime matter were thought to make possible the re-creation of individual and cosmos as a single, pure element."

"Scientists at CERN recently transmuted lead into gold thus achieving one of the long-sought after aims of the Alchemists. But, given that chemical transmutation of metals is impossible, just what was going on in the crucibles of ancient alchemy? Let's explore the history and science behind alchemical transmutation to better understand just how ingenious the alchemists really were."

Multiple Histories of Russian Occultism and the Unfinished Modernity: Imperial Esoterica Versus Modernizations of Avant-Garde Conceptualism
by Dennis Ioffe (Département d’Enseignement de Langues et Lettres, Faculté de Lettres, Traduction et Communication, Université Libre de Bruxelles, 1050 Bruxelles, Belgium)
The essay offers an expansive and multi-stratified investigation into the role of esoteric traditions within the development of Russian modernity, reframing occultism not as an eccentric deviation but as a foundational epistemological regime integral to Russia’s aesthetic, philosophical, and political evolution.
