"The intriguing 15 th century Voynich manuscript has often been called "the most mysterious manuscript in the world". Filled with beguiling images of plants, stars, and strange designs and people, the manuscript has perplexed readers for centuries. We know nothing about its purpose, origin, or authorship. It has been called by the New York Times the 'white whale of the code-breaking world' (Markoff 2011, np). Until now, not a single word of the manuscript has been convincingly interpreted or decoded. This paper offers a proposed partial decoding of the Voynich script. It adopts a 'bottom-up' approach, following the method employed successfully to decode Egyptian hieroglyphs and Cretan Linear B script in the past."

Alchemy in Medieval Islam and Abū Bakr al-Rāzī

By Takatomo Inoue

"This dissertation aims to establish a basis when studying the history of alchemy in medieval Islam, to make clear what is alchemists’ alchemical theory and what is not in spite of affirmative claims, to reassess understanding of alchemy among modern scholars, to explore experimentalism in alchemy and to examine al-Rāzī’s alchemy, use of experience, and the relationship between his alchemy and medicine."

"Several of the fundamental metaphors of medieval alchemy survive in the scholarship and literature of Modernism (1895-1946), including the notion of the breakdown of molecular compounds to the four elements from which all creation (cosmogonic, ontogenetic, poetic) derives. This occurs in a variety of symbolic crucibles, and precipitates Modernist variants of such hermetic images of the Opus as the conjunction of Sol and Luna, the Child, and the philosopher’s stone. Informing the whole process is the notion of transfiguration, an alchemical allegory of poeisis that we find in Modernism, all the way from Strindberg to H.D."

"This website is devoted to helping individuals understand and apply the principles of alchemy. Alchemy’s most basic tenet is that there are two ways of knowing reality. Learning to work with both of them is how the journey of transformation begins."

"Welcome to the Francisco Piria Castle, a place where 19th-century ambition took architectural form. This battlemented residence turned museum tells the story of Francisco Piria, the entrepreneur who transformed Uruguay's coastline and brought a touch of European grandeur to South America...What sets this castle apart is its hidden basement, where Piria conducted alchemical experiments. Though closed to visitors, this laboratory adds an air of mystery to the estate."

"The 1616 classic treasure of Western esoteric wisdom, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (traditionally attributed to Johann Valentinus Andreae) is one of three key manifestos of the Rosicrucians and alchemists in general. It narrates a story of Christian Rosenkreutz, who was invited to a miraculous castle to assist in the “chemical wedding” of the king and the queen―the husband and the bride.

Filled with alchemical metaphors, coded words, and images, Dennis Klocek describes―in his inimitable style―much of the profound meaning behind the colorful and surprising events throughout the seven-day “initiation” of Christian Rosenkreutz.

Each chapter is devoted to one of the seven days, featuring an overview, followed by fresh translations of the original text, and illumined by Klocek's comprehensive and unique commentaries―all of which providies an accessible introduction to the real meaning behind the Rosicrucian path of inner development."

"This video examines the complete alchemical process through seven distinct stages: Calcination, Dissolution, Separation, Conjunction, Fermentation, Distillation, and Coagulation. Each stage corresponds to specific psychological operations that dismantle the false self and reconstruct an integrated, conscious identity."
