  Video: The Enigma of the Voynich Manuscript
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-10-2024, 07:00 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Voynich Manuscript is one of the most perplexing and enduring mysteries of all time. Discovered in 1912, this ancient manuscript has baffled cryptographers, historians, and linguists for over a century. Filled with an unidentifiable script, bizarre illustrations of unknown plants, celestial charts, and strange creatures, this book remains unsolved despite countless attempts to decode it."

  Music Theory Course for Alchemists
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-10-2024, 06:34 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Atorène’s course starts with the presentation of the Philosophical Week, which is the musical interval of the Last Cooking, then continues with the musical notation and Law of Attraction. Before getting to the Egg’s Densities Variations, and Degrees of Fire, the Canseliet’s apprentice provides the reader unfamiliar with the mathematical laws of the proportions of the sound with the construction of notes, intervals, and scales, and Pythagoras, as well as Zarlino’s, range."

Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-08-2024, 01:36 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"This work takes a radically different approach to human history. It sees it in terms of human thought and of paradigms.
This is about the Third Paradigm – the third way in which humans have conceptualised the world. It is known here as Transcendent Dichotomism.
There have been two previous paradigms in human history: The Mysterial Paradigm and Deific Materialism."

  Daoist alchemy: The Living Dead Man
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-05-2024, 09:09 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

The Living Dead: An Interpretation of the Metaphor of Death in Daoist Inner Alchemy

"This article explores the metaphor of death in Qing 清 Dynasty Daoist inner alchemy (neidan 內丹) scriptures, which require practitioners to consider themselves dead or living dead, and argues that this metaphor of death can be traced back to the connotation of the “living dead” proposed by the founder of Complete Perfection (Quanzhen 全真), Wang Chongyang 王重陽, in the Jin 金 Dynasty, who demonstrated his desire for the return of Dao by digging a grave for himself and referring to himself as a living dead man."

  Kindle: Theurgy, or the Hermetic Practice
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-05-2024, 09:02 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Drawing on the teachings of the Egyptian, Greek, and Hebrew mystery schools and quoting extensively from important alchemical writers, Garstin details this process of purification. Students who are curious about alchemy but daunted by the body of its literature and its strange allegories will find this book to be an excellent introduction."
