"This source examines the historical pursuit of alchemy, suggesting its true aim was the creation of exotic matter, a goal echoed in modern physics' quest. It traces alchemy's survival through patronage and its symbolic duality, linking its concepts to esoteric traditions and even Christian theology. The text then explores contemporary parallels through David Hudson's anomalous materials and the controversial "Red Mercury," drawing connections to Russian physicist Nikolai Kozyrev's work on time and torsion. Finally, the source investigates potential links between Nazi Germany's secret research, including the enigmatic "Bell" project and possible advancements in laser technology and unified field theories, to these long-standing alchemical and scientific endeavors, even considering the influence of esoteric figures within the Nazi regime. Our hosts update the book with the latest in the cutting-edge of research for exotic matter."

"The true story of a South American scientist arriving in Jamaica en route to Miami, carrying with him the secret results of clinical trials done in Colombia on terminally ill Cancer patients. This rare, ancient method of alchemical origin, using a natural bioligical extract, proved to be virtually 100% effective in achieving a complete remission of the cancerous process. Due to a family feud and consequent treachery he is arrested upon landing in Kingston with a pair of cocaine-loaded platform shoes. Convicted and sentenced to prison, Dr. Hector Velarde Valdes meets the Author, who has been assigned to act as his interpreter and guide. Over a period of many months he reveals an astounding and truly amazing drama, weaving the extraordinary circumstances of his life with the racy adventure of a medical-scientific quest for the centuries old, guarded alchemical cure for Cancer that was only available to the royalty and nobility of antiquity."

"Alchemy is popularly viewed as a secret way of turning worthless base metal into gold, and then a precursor to modern chemistry. This is often taken as a metaphor for psychological development. This book describes an innovative "third way" for both the education and exercise of an alchemical imagination that embraces both material matters and psychological insight: alchemy as lyrical poetics, or the intensive production of embodied metaphor. Alchemy here is viewed as an immanent set of metaphor-driven "best practices" for indwelling complex and contradictory earthly matters in a sensual, artistic and humane manner. Or, again, it describes best psychotherapeutic practice."

Becoming Gold: Zosimos of Panopolis and the Alchemical Arts in Roman Egypt / Paperback
by Shannon Grimes (Author)


"FOREMOST among the alchemists of the Hellenized world, the "divine" Zosimos practiced a sacred art in which metaphysical and metallurgical realities were fundamentally intertwined. Rather than being an exclusive product of Alexandrian syncretism, however, the dual spiritual and material emphasis of this alchemy reveals much deeper roots than expected: roots which extend deep into the religious cultures of the Ancient Near East. Through the methods of "cultural biography" and "thick description", Becoming Gold guides the reader deep into the temple culture of Roman Egypt, where the role of scribal priest intersects explicitly with the metallurgical craft traditions."

"In this episode of SIN News, we explore the Paras Stone – a legendary Indian relic said to hold the ultimate alchemical power.

Was it ancient science, spiritual metaphor, or a lost piece of forbidden technology?"

"The lost science of Chrysopoeia Alchemic Harmonics has remained an enigma for centuries, whispered only among esoteric circles. Unlike modern interpretations of alchemy, which focus on material transmutation, this ancient practice harnesses aetheric resonance frequencies to realign the vibrational signature of metals, consciousness, and even planetary energies."

"From April 3 to July 19, 2025, Milan ’s BUILDING GALLERY welcomes Transitum, the solo exhibition of Fabrizio Cotognini (Macerata, 1983), curated by Marina Dacci. It is a project that crosses the entire gallery space, articulating itself in a path dense with historical references and alchemical suggestions. More than 90 works, including microcastings, sculptures, installations and drawings, shape a layered narrative in which art becomes a tool for investigating transformation. Cotognini’s research is nourished by references to mythology, epic and alchemy, translating these elements into a reflection on metamorphosis, understood as the evolution of identity and the change of matter."
