  Keramik: rustiques figulines des Bernard Palissy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-07-2024, 10:28 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Philipp Hones and Jennifer Matschey take a closer look at the abundance of small creatures populating a ceramic plate of French artist Bernard Palissy (1510-1590). By molding the animals directly from nature, the artist undertakes the process of creation in its truest sense – the article explores Palissy’s stand in the discourse of mimesis and imitatio, and how his work ties into the alchemical worldview."

  Das Einhorn und die Alchemie
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-07-2024, 10:26 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Kristofer Schliephake explores the mythical unicorn and its depiction, as well as its meaning in an alchemical context, especially referring to the late medieval emblem book Lambspring. A ferocious beast, a symbol for quicksilver, a religious allegory, and a gentle, elusive creature with healing properties: Historically, the unicorn proves to have many different facets, which this article elaborates on."

  Updated Wiki: Louis de Vanens
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-07-2024, 08:44 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Upgraded from 'poisoner' to 'alchemist and poisoner'.

"Vanens came from Arles and called himself Chevalier de Vanens. He was arrested by the direct orders of Louvois on 5 December 1677, after having declared that he was able to make gold and had been observed with a banknote of 200,000 livres."

  German fiction: Der Alchemist von Venedig
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-06-2024, 01:36 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"In 1689, master builder Fabrizio Mansani saves his brother, who has been sentenced to death on a false charge, and wants to leave Venice. But his deed did not go unobserved and so he was forced by the chamberlain Ducatini, desperate because of the empty state coffers, to help him in a deceptive manoeuvre. Officially, Leibniz and Newton are to devote themselves to building an observatory - larger than that of the Vatican. But Newton's main task is to produce gold for Venice and the chamberlain threatens to extradite him to Rome as a sorcerer if he refuses ..."

"Glosses in the Greek text of 1 Enoch in Codex Panopolitanus may plausibly be traced to the alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis or to his students."

  Alchemy of Goetia
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-04-2024, 11:24 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"The medieval magicians who wrote the grimoires encoded a beautiful alchemical synthesis into the sigils of the spirits they worked with. Join author S. Connolly as she explores the magickal and alchemical symbolism within the seals of the Goetia (and the Grimoirium Verum) and discover how this symbolism gives us insight into a spirit's purposes and correspondences in a hidden language only the initiates understood."

  Video: Did the Occult influence Karl Marx?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 05-03-2024, 05:07 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Marxism has transformed the world, for better and for worse. But what lies are the root of the philosophy of Karl Marx? Are there occult roots to what became world Communism? This episode explores to what degree, if any, hermetic ideas from Hegelian Idealism came to influence Marx. What about Kabbalah or other Esoteric currents?
