Video: Alchemical Gold - From West to East

[Paul Ferguson]

"In his engaging talk, [Robert Bartlett] guides us through the magical world of Western alchemical practice and the many ingenious methods used to simulate or produce gold. We journey from the ancient techniques of Egypt all the way to the experiments of Sir Isaac Newton. Along the way, we explore some of the most remarkable recipes developed by the adepts — from Corinthian bronze to mosaic gold. From shimmering gold tinctures to sophisticated herbo-metallic preparations, traditionally used to promote longevity"
