"In this episode we are guided by researcher Gerasimos Merianos through the labyrinth of pseudonyms, esoteric books, mysterious dates, and even more mysterious praxeis that make up the East Roman alchemical tradition. We have made it a two-parter, because there’s so much here."

  Zodiac archetypes as somatic & alchemical architectures
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-01-2026, 11:25 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"A study of the 12 zodiac archetypes as somatic and alchemical architectures - patterns that exist fractally within the body and across all life. Each piece studies one sign as somatic and alchemical architecture - a pattern that lives in the body, moves through the nervous system, and expresses itself differently across time, context, and relationship."

  Video: Esoterica on The Steganographia of Trithemius
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-01-2026, 11:21 AM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Did Angel Magic give us the Internet?  In around 1499 Johann Trithemius began combining alchemical theory, astrology, the combatory arts and angel magic into a vast occult system by which to rapidly transmit information, acquire languages, induce prophecy and illuminate the soul.  He called this occult science the Ars Steganographia and he was condemned for it.  Despite rumors that he was a vile necromancer, Trithemius would continue his studies: founding arcane modern cryptology, tutoring Agrippa as he developed the Occult Philosophy, inspiring the development of the Lesser Key of Solomon, uncovering the astral cycles of history and much more.  Let's explore the Ars Steganographia!"

Topics include:

? Why the film Groundhog Day is an unlikely lesson in psychological alchemy
? The ancient esoteric Egyptian texts that have inspired generations of artists, poets … and psychiatrists
? The alchemist’s three-stage journey to creating psychological gold
? A deep dive into the first stage, the Nigredo, in which everything has to die
? The temptation to use positive thinking to avoid difficult emotions, and why this is a trap

  Alchemy in English Literature
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-01-2026, 11:07 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The study of ‘Alchemy in English Literature’ is a well-established field in academia (see the works of Stanton Linden, Lyndy Abraham, and Charles Nicholl for excellent examples of work in this niche). John Granger in his Hidden Key to Harry Potter (2002) used the phrase “literary alchemy” both to distinguish hermetic imagery in drama, poetry, and story from the glyphs, colours, and sequences in metallurgical alchemy texts and simultaneously to explain how the esoteric lab work images became the stage setting stuff and substance of imaginative literature."
