The Grand Communication: Freemasonry's Alchemical Quest for Divine Communion by Nathan Schick

"Is the central character in the Masonic ritual "Hiram Abiff" a Biblical cover for Hermes Trismegistus? Does the Masonic ritual contain encoded secret Hermetic knowledge of alchemy, astrology, and magic?"

"The article explores "Raseshwara Darshana," which serves as a philosophical foundation for the development of Rasashastra, a pharmaceutical science within Ayurveda. It discusses how Indian philosophies, particularly the ideas central to Raseshwara Darshana, influence the goal of achieving Moksha, or liberation, in life rather than merely after death... The alchemical practices surrounding mercury are not merely seen as an artisanal craft, but rather as integral activities linked to the philosophical pursuits of Raseshwara, demonstrating the importance of physical elements in spiritual achievements."

"A new compilation of the contemporary artwork/illustrations of auteur comics artist Hironori Kikuchi collecting works from the last 8 years. Published by independent Tokyo-based bookseller/publisher Taco Ché. Consisting of single page illustrations, it is sometimes possible to observe dramatic sequences throughout a piece. In spite of this, it would be disingenuous to describe this collection as consisting of typical manga illustrations or narrative. Kikuchi debuted in 1995 in Garo magazine. He began working in his new dreamlike “alchemical” style in 2011"

Blurb: "The Reenchantment of the World is a perceptive study of our scientific consciousness and a cogent and forceful challenge to its supremacy. Focusing on the rise of the mechanistic idea that we can know the natural world only by distancing ourselves from it, Berman shows how science acquired its controlling position in the consciousness of the West."

Quotation 1: "Jung's specific contribution, both to the history of alchemy and to depth psychology, was the discovery that patients with no previous knowledge of alchemy were having dreams that reproduced the imagery of alchemical texts with a bewildering similarity. In his famous essay "Individual Dream Symbolism in Relation to Alchemy," Jung recorded a series of one such patient's dreams and produced for nearly every dream a separate alchemical plate that duplicated the dream symbols in an unmistakable way. Inasmuch as Jung claimed that others had produced a similar set of dream images while undergoing the individuation process, Jung was forced to conclude that this process was indeed inherent in the psyche and that the alchemists, without really knowing exactly what they were doing, had recorded the transformations of their own unconscious which they then projected onto the material world."

Quotation 2: "By the sixteenth century, the church had drawn up a document establishing correspondences between the various alchemical processes and church sacraments. Hence putrefaction was extreme unction; distillation, ordination; calcination, repentance; coagulation, marriage; solution, baptism; sublimation, confirmation; and of course, transmutation, the Mass. We might infer from these correspondences that the collapse of church magic under the pressure of heretical sects, and later, the Protestant Reformation, led to an overemphasis on the religious dimension of alchemy. This, in addition to the attack being mounted by the growing technological literature, ultimately served to split it off from the exoteric tradition."

An interesting book, with many alchemical references:

"Finally, scientists know how the universe makes gold. Using our most advanced telescopes and detectors, we’ve seen it created in the cosmic fire of the two colliding stars first detected by LIGO via the gravitational wave they emitted."

"This dictionary offers a unique perspective on the vast and varied terminology of Taoist Internal Alchemy (Neidan). Drawing on major original texts and premodern lexicons, it provides translations, definitions, and usage examples for over a thousand terms common throughout the tradition.
A comprehensive index of English equivalents allows readers to easily locate the corresponding Chinese terms. Beyond serving as a reference for those reading, studying, or translating Neidan texts, the dictionary's entries offer glimpses into the rich imagery and poetic language of Internal Alchemy."

"The spark for Alchemy came from Mia Main, who brought the idea to ÜNAM as a way to bridge their two art forms. Working together, they split the project into two teams, each led by one of them, with ÜNAM creating an original track and Mia designing a jewelry piece that captures the spirit of alchemy. From there, it was all about letting other artists make it their own: 13 artists were given the core track or jewelry piece as inspiration, along with an assigned element—fire, water, air, earth, or quintessence—and asked to reimagine it through their own lens."
