Sergey Maratovich Teleguin - Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026
Sergey Maratovich Teleguin (born January 1, 1964) is a Russian scholar, a Doctor of Philological Sciences, and a professor known for his work in literary criticism, philosophy, and an approach he developed called "mythorestoration". He is noted for his application of mythology and aesthetics to literary analysis, particularly through the lens of alchemical symbolism.
Key Concepts and Works
Mythorestoration: Teleguin's primary method involves uncovering and revitalizing the underlying mythical structures within literary texts to facilitate deeper interpretation.
Alchemy and Literature: He explores alchemy not merely as a proto-science, but through mythology, aesthetics, and its personal, symbolic experimentation.
His major publications, some of which have been translated into multiple languages, include:
Alchemy of Birds: On the Other Side of the Word
The Alchemy of the Magic Word
Mythology of Eastern Slavs
Philosophy of Myth: Introduction to the Method of Mythorestoration
Teleguin's works and methods have been published in numerous countries, including Spain, Colombia, the United States, and the Czech Republic.

Sergey M. Teleguin's new book is devoted to alchemy. It differs from many books about alchemy published recently. Its main merit is that this book is not "about alchemy", but in the true sense of alchemy. Its author not only studied alchemical treatises, but also participated in alchemical experiments. The book is written on the basis of personal impressions obtained in the experiments with alchemical mirrors and the experience known as "dissolving the body of the King in a bloody font". This book has been translated with Artificial Intelligence.

Article (in Russian) on Alchemy seen as a book of Mirrors (АЛХИМИЯ КАК КНИГА ЗЕРКАЛ)
"The article analyzes the relationship between the alchemical discourse and mirror phenomenology. The deep core idea of alchemy and mirrors is the desire to master unlimited resources – the breakthrough from discretely deterministic world into the space of unlimited scope. The article deals with basic alchemical approach to the mirror phenomenon. Mirror alchemy creates multiple ways to go beyond oneself. At this point, the alchemical transfiguration could be realized."
