"The philosopher’s stone and the holy grail are two of the most sought-after artefacts in myth and legend. Both promise great power – and both carry great risks to those who seek them. From the medieval stories of Thomas Malory and John Lydgate, through to the modern movies of Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, Curtis Runstedler takes us on a quest through literature and film in an attempt to track down the meaning of these elusive objects."

"[The] announcement purports to describe the art of true alchemy. The writer urges ' qualified seekers ' by all means to buy the Chymische Warsager, as the ' path is slippery and deceptive He continues his advice by insisting that the preparation of the Stone is easy, provided that it has been first manufactured ' in the head."

"This innovative Tarot deck and comprehensive guidebook offer a seamless integration of Kabbalistic, alchemical, and Judeo-Christian mysticism and provide a scholarly synthesis of occult knowledge and Rosicrucian mysteries. It contains a detailed examination of the symbolism within the Tarot and elucidates the connections between the Tarot and its associations with the Hebrew alphabet contained in the Sefer Yetzirah. It traces the separate evolutions of Alchemy, the Kabbalah, and Tarot and demonstrates how they were united into a single and complete system of mysticism."

Paracelsian Moments: Science, Medicine, and Astrology in Early Modern Europe

Edited by: Gerhild Scholz Williams and Charles D. Gunnoe Jr.

Originally published by Penn State University Press 2003.

"Scientific ideas inspired by religious, magical, and alchemical themes competed alongside traditional Aristotelian science and the emerging mechanical philosophy in the early modern era. At the center of this ferment was a quirky and creative German physician, Paracelsus, whose religious-alchemical worldview served as an inspiration for countless scientific innovators. This collection is about Paracelsus and the wide range of issues he explored, and ones taken up by many who were directly or indirectly affected by the same mental universe that sustained his thought and writings. This volume includes strong contextual studies on Paracelsianism and the larger cultural history of early modern science, including groundbreaking studies on Robert Boyle, François Rabelais, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, and Johannes Praetorius."

"A collection of 38 herbal manuscripts have remained all but hidden to scholars in the shadow of
the Italian Alps. Despite several texts analyzing specific texts (Leporace, 1952, Lupo 1982,
Ragazzini 1983, Toresella 1985, Pezzella 2007 and Bruzzone 2015, 2019) and one pioneering
work which synthesizes a large portion of them as united in the corpus (Segre 2000), the
“alchemical herbal tradition” has so far escaped examination through methodologies employed
in the history of science, medicine and magic."
