  Updated Wiki: Richardus Anglicus
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-06-2025, 08:55 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Richardus Anglicus the alchemist wrote several texts in the 14th century, including Correctorium alchemiae, also known as Corrector (fatuorum). He was considered among the leading English alchemists of the period. Texts attributed to him were printed in De Alchemia (1541, 1550) and in Theatrum Chemicum (1602–1661). He was well read in the alchemical literature through the 14th century and stands in that tradition, including concerns with the materia prima."

  Gemini Seal Pendant
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-06-2025, 08:33 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The Gemini Seal Pendant draws from the intricate instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where its creation was described in extraordinary detail. Traditionally, this sigil was to be forged from a blend of gold and silver, metals carefully melted together at the precise moment when the Sun enters Gemini, typically around the 10th or 11th of May."

  Cotnoir: Online Course on Myth in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-06-2025, 08:31 AM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

"Myth in Alchemy: From Homer to the Chymical Gods: A Four-Week Live, Online Course with Alchemist Brian Cotnoir, Begins April 7."

"Throughout the practice of western alchemy, myths, the stories of the gods and goddesses, were used to explain the forces at work in alchemical transmutation. It was thought that these stories cloaked deeper meanings that would, if understood properly, reveal the way forward in the work of perfecting matter and the soul.

Of interest are the sources of myth used by renaissance artists like Durer and alchemists like Maier in their depictions of the dieties. We will look at texts such as Boccaccio's Genealogy of the Pagan Gods, Cartari's Images of the Pagan Gods, and the work that started the Emblem Books, The Hieroglyphics of Horapollo.

This will prepare us to better understand the 50 emblems in Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens a most remarkable alchemical text of image, music, and poetry in the service of alchemical transmutation.

This four-part course will examine the use of myth, its origins and development into a symbolic language of alchemy and will trace a few examples of myth and show how it is interpreted as not just a metaphor but as an actual physical process."
