  The Path of the Magnetic Salamander
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-08-2024, 02:17 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

"After years, RICCARDO VILLANOVA MRA returns to talk about ALCHEMY in his CLEAR AND COMPLETE way, opening the archives of the [Ammonium] Order and donating the secret knowledge for this era. This is a teaching received from the Master MRA in 3 days of continuous practice in the year 1987 in a location in Switzerland, in the main headquarters of the Order. It was a teaching reserved for higher grades, but given the current times and the acceleration of events, MRA has decided to communicate it now while it was scheduled in about 4 years."

  Meet the Damanhurians
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-05-2024, 03:07 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Selfica devices are handmade objects made up of metals and alchemical liquids and claim to be used for physical, emotional and spiritual healing, and communicating with beings in the wider universe. As well as talking to aliens, the Damanhurians claim to have cracked the secret of time travel and say they first did so in 1997."

  Interview: Best Books on Sir Isaac Newton
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-29-2024, 09:16 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"John Maynard Keynes famously cast Isaac Newton not as the first scientist of the age of reason, but the last of the magicians. How should we interpret the million words he wrote, in secret, on alchemy? What should we make of Newton's heretical religious views? William Newman talks us through the best books for a better understanding of the complex man who was one of the greatest physicists of all time."

  A Survey of Birds and Fabulous Stones
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-21-2024, 05:16 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The records of fabulous stones associated with birds are here examined systematically for the first time. Some were purported to be obtained from within
the bird and others obtained from the nest. Zahir mora, the Adjutant Bird Stone, was used against snake bite, whilst Alectorius (the Cock Stone), Aetites (the Eagle
Stone) and Vulturis (the Vulture Stone) shared a multiplicity of medicinal applications. Quirin (the Hoopoe Stone), Chloritis (the Wagtail Stone) and Corvina
(the Crow Stone) supposedly possessed occult powers. The Penguin Stone, Ostrich Stone and Pigeon Stone were probably gastroliths."

  The Buried Secrets of Czech Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-21-2024, 09:12 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"If you were an alchemist in the 16th century, the place to be was Prague, and the court of Emperor Rudolf the 2nd. The most famous occult adepts in Europe flocked there — John Dee, Edward Kelley, Nostradamus. Alchemy left its mark on Prague — and on our producer, Charles Monroe-Kane, who lived there as a young man. He says the Czechs are still uncovering alchemical secrets — like the Speculum Alchemiae, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site."
