"My dissertation, The Alchemy of Sexuality in Early Modern English Lyric Poetry
examines the complex relationship of poetry, sexuality and religion to alchemy in early modern
England. I analyze poetic representations of transgressive sexuality by William Shakespeare,
Edmund Spenser, John Donne, Thomas Nashe, and Thomas Carew."

"Samael Aun Weor holds that alchemy is, strictly speaking, a sexual sacred practice, to sublimate the inferior, grotesque human energies (ens seminis) and transmute them into gold. This technique would consist of not fornicating, that is to say, spilling the seminal fluids, but making them ascend through the spine towards the brain. The chalice of all religions esoterically represents the sacred wines of the gods, the elixir of immortality. Aun Weor reveals in one of his several books about alchemy, La Piedra Filosofal o el Secreto de los Alquimistas, the symbolic connection between woman and the Grail: “There is no doubt either that in the Cup or Chalice, the Holy Grail as it is known, for which the Medieval knights fought when they left towards the Holy Land during the times of the Eucharistic Crusades, represents the feminine Yoni, the eternal feminine (…) they never found it, obviously” (Aun Weor, K, 2012: 261)."

"A ground-breaking modern manual on an ancient art, Real Alchemy draws on both modern scientific technology and ancient methods. A laboratory scientist and chemist, Robert Allen Bartlett provides an overview of the history of alchemy, as well as an exploration of the theories behind the practice. Clean, clear, simple, and easy to read, Real Alchemy provides excellent directions regarding the production of plant products and transitions the reader-student into the basics of mineral work–what some consider the true domain of alchemy. New students to practical laboratory alchemy will enjoy reading Real Alchemy and hopefully find the encouragement needed to undertake their own alchemical journey. Bartlett also explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term “Philosopher’s Stone” and describes several very real and practical methods for its achievement. Is the fabled Philosopher’s Stone an elixir of long life or is it a method of transforming lead into gold? Judge for yourself."

A GREEK ALCHEMICAL EPIGRAM IN ITS MIDDLE BYZANTINE CONTEXT by Alexandre M. Roberts

Thesis by William Christian.

"This thesis examines a late medieval alchemical treatise known as the Aurora Consurgens,
which is ascribed to the early decades of the fifteenth century. The Aurora was among the
first of its kind in a tradition of poetico-rhetorical alchemy that became popular in the late
middle ages and early modern period. While it is indisputable that early Latin alchemical
texts contained allegorical language and religious symbolism, the Aurora heralded a new
form of alchemical literature, where mysticism became thoroughly and inseparably
interpolated with the operations of the laboratory. The Aurora is framed as a dialogue
between an unnamed alchemist and Sapientia, a female embodiment of God’s wisdom,
which in the text, is conflated with the philosopher’s stone. This thesis focuses on a series
of visions that appear throughout the document. These visions invoke the unitive imagery
of late medieval mystical theology and contain many of the themes that appear in medieval
contemplative literature. These are, namely, the image of the ‘cloud’ that appears in the
tradition of pseudo-Dionysian mystical theology, motifs of darkness and illumination,
purgation, and union with the divine. The principal argument contends that the author of
the Aurora Consurgens used the motifs of mystical theology to elucidate his understanding
of the alchemical work."

"This thesis traces the influence of alchemy and its renaissance in
the early seventeenth century as Rosicrucianism, in William
Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre and The Tempest, and Ben
Jonson's The Alchemist."

"Some fifty years ago, the German scholar Paul Kraus declared that the well-known
corpus of Arabic alchemical writings traditionally attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan was not
written by a single author. Kraus concluded that these writings, with the possible exception
of one treatise, were collectively produced by several generations of Qaimatf-IsmaTlI
authors who lived no earlier than the latter half of the 9th century AD. Kraus' conclusions,
already a scholarly orthodoxy, are reexamined by the present thesis."

Thesis by CT Runstedler, Durham Univ.

"This thesis examines the role of alchemy in Middle English poetry from fourteenth- and
fifteenth-century England, particularly how these poems present themselves as exemplary
narratives to raise moral points about human behaviour, fallibility, and alchemical
experimentation."
