  Spagyrics
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-21-2025, 01:53 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Spagyric essences are non-toxic, harmless and have a low alcohol content. They are among the most popular and well-tolerated herbal remedies. Practice shows that the advantages over classic phytotherapy are enhanced. The effect is more penetrating, faster and broader than is usually the case with phytopharmaceuticals. This means that spagyric essences can significantly support, enhance and thus reorganize a formula on all levels – where they are needed."

Good article with embedded interview in German (other languages available).

  The fungus that eats ionizing radiation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-21-2025, 01:43 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In the late 1980s Ukrainian scientists studying the dark, dangerous interior of Chernobyl’s destroyed Reactor 4 found that a black, mould-like fungus was growing across the walls and in pools of radioactive water. The fungus was not just surviving the immense radiation levels in the reactor building, but seemed to be thriving – even growing towards the very highest levels of gamma radiation. Over the next 15 years thousands of strains of hundreds of different species of microfungi were isolated from in and around the Chernobyl disaster site[1]. In tests many of them grew towards strong sources of ionising radiation and some even appeared able to digest so-called ‘hot particles’ – immensely radioactive graphite from the reactor core itself."

  The Invention of Chemical Recipes in the Ancient World
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-21-2025, 01:36 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

By Dr. Sydney H. Aufrère
Professor of Linguistics
Aix-Marseille University


"The principles used in the preparation of Egyptian recipes were highly technical. The study of recipes engraved on the walls of Edfu’s laboratory shows that Egyptians used three types of preparations: fumigations, fat-based cooked ointments, and resinous ointments for the divine wood or stone statues to make them look like the representations that the Egyptians had of the gods."

  Short Video: Principe & the mind of the alchemist
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-21-2025, 01:17 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In our latest video, we take a look at Larry's work: digging deep into ancient manuscripts and texts, trying to find clues and cues as to what it was that alchemists really were up to. In addition to an enormous book collection in his office, Larry has a lab where he performs ancient alchemical experiments, helping to set the record straight on the history and development of alchemy. Is he a historian of alchemy or a get-rich-quick schemer in search of the legendary Philosophers' stone? You decide."
