"If you follow the advice of Caterina Sforza, “you will see that thing become so narrow that you yourself will be in admiration. That striking promise appears in the Experimenta, a collection of recipes attributed to the Renaissance noblewoman Caterina Sforza. Best known as the formidable ruler of Imola and Forli and a fierce opponent of the Borgia family, Sforza also cultivated a keen interest in medicine, alchemy, and cosmetics. Her manuscript preserves hundreds of formulas aimed at transforming the body and the material world—ranging from cures for lice to beauty treatments and even techniques for making coins appear more golden."

"During alchemical times (roughly the 3rd century BCE to the 18th century CE), women were very present as well. Some of these were mythical figures and goddesses such as Isis, who played an important symbolic role, endowed with healing powers and the ability to halt putrefaction.However, prominent figures (most notably Zosimos of Panopolis) also referred extensively to the contribution of women in developing techniques that had a lasting impact on the field. For example, during the Greco-Roman period, Mary the Jewess invented the kerotakis; a device designed to understand how vapours act on solids. Others include Paphnutia the Virgin, Theosebeia (to whom Zosimos’ writings are addressed, though nowadays it is unclear whether she actually existed; some say she was his sister) and Cleopatra (being one of the four women that knew how to make the philosopher’s stone, together with Mary the Jewess."

| Audiobook: Arturo Reghini & the Alchemical Quest of Santinelli |

"The great freemason and Pythagorean initiate Arturo Reghini published a study in 1925 in the journal Ignis, interpreting one of the best-known alchemical texts of the 17th century, an alchemical ode in Italian, composed of three “songs”, preceded by a preface in Latin and followed by a proem and a commentary. This work had long been attributed to Otto Tachenius, a 17th-century German physician, pharmacist, and alchemist, but Reghini intuited that he could not be the author, who should instead be identified within the Italian sphere. Indeed, in 1956, the great historian of Freemasonry Pericle Maruzzi demonstrated the actual authorship of this mysterious and enigmatic text: the author was Francesco Maria Santinelli, an Italian nobleman and initiate, a poet and scholar of Alchemy, Hermeticism, and mystery and esoteric disciplines, who was very close to Queen Christina of Sweden. An extraordinary figure with an adventurous and tumultuous life, he was destined to become, along with Massimiliano Savelli di Palombara, Francesco Borri, Athanasius Kircher, and Federico Gualdi, one of the main figures in the academies and hermetic and initiatic circles of his time."

"A sepia‑toned, mystical scene depicting two robed figures seated opposite each other within an arched, ornate frame. They gesture toward one another, suggesting an exchange of knowledge or ritual instruction. An inscribed globe rests beside the figure on the left, while symbolic markings float above their heads, evoking themes of ancient science, mysticism, and philosophical debate set in an atmospheric, otherworldly environment."
