"In this lecture, we will explore how English and European alchemists searched for the philosopher’s stone and how their experiments were transformed into elaborate allegories. Why might a chemical substance be depicted as a lion, the death of a metal as a dismembered king, or the combination of two substances as the marriage of a man and a woman? And can we understand the meaning of these images today by recreating an early experiment?"<br />

<br />
"In this five-week course, we will trace the Grail through mythology, medieval literature, crusading culture, mysticism, alchemy, Romanticism, Jungian psychology, archaeology, conspiracy theory, fantasy literature, and film. Along the way we will encounter wounded kings, wandering knights, ruined chapels, other-worldly queens, Templars, alchemists, Wagnerian mystics, Symbolist artists, fascist occultists, and modern seekers pursuing transcendence through archetype. Rather than asking whether the Grail was objectively “real,” we will explore why it became one of the most enduring symbolic and visionary objects in European culture. The Grail continues to possess the imagination and act as a tool for puzzling out how the ineffable takes on form and calls out to human beings to be sought, found and held."<br />
