"LEMI NURI is a fictional online project, with lyrics by @ZiulSerip62 and music created with the help of Musicful AI. The band has roots in Progressive Metal, Psychedelic Rock, Heavy/Power/Speed Metal, Acid Rock, Stoner Metal, Alt-Metal, Post-Rock, and other genres experienced by each of its members. The single "Ashes of the Mirror" opens the EP Metamorphosis (Part II) and is a confrontation with reflection. The mirror, covered in ash, reveals a fragmented identity, shattered into echoes and shards. The lyrical self no longer recognizes its own image. Amidst fire, shards of glass, and spectral voices, a premonition of transformation emerges: still in ruins, but paving the way for a future awakening."

Unpropitious Tinctures: Alchemy, Astrology & Gnosis According to Zosimos of Panopolis (1999)

By Daniel Stolzenberg

"The Egyptian alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis was a pivotal figure in the history of Greek alchemy. In his works alchemy was placed at the service of a mystical religion aimed at spiritual gnosis, but its practical dimension remained a central concern".

The Amṛtasiddhi: Haṭhayoga’s Flash in the Alchemical Pan

By James Mallinson

"The Amṛtasiddhi is an eleventh-century Vajrayāna work written in Sanskrit, which is the first text to teach any of the practices and principles of what came to be classified in later texts as haṭhayoga, yoga in which physical texts predominate. Much of the text is couched in alchemical metaphors, and the names of the three primary techniques describing yogic processes such as breathing exercises and their effects on the body and the mind each have alchemical parallels. This chapter presents the various alchemical aspects of the text and analyses their reception—including their rejection or misinterpretation—in later works on yoga and provides insight into the spread of alchemical thought and methods into other Indic disciplines, and among different religious groups."

Zosimos Aigyptiakos. Identifying the Imagery of the "Visions" and Locating Zosimos of Panopolis in His Egyptian Context

By Marina Escolano-Poveda

"The first alchemist for whom we have biographical data, Zosimos, lived in the Panopolis (current Akhmim) of the late third–early fourth centuries CE, a region in which evidence of the practice of traditional Egyptian religion is attested well into Late Antiquity. The images that Zosimos employed in his presentation of alchemical procedures and apparatus offer us an insight into his cultural context. This paper will examine a series of passages from the works of Zosimos of Panopolis from an Egyptological perspective, contrasting them with textual and iconographic sources from the Egyptian temple milieu of Graeco-Roman Egypt. The results of this inquiry will be used to elaborate a more nuanced presentation of Zosimos’ identity."

"Kimyâ-yı Saâdet (The Alchemy of Happiness), written by Imam al-Ghazālī, is a condensed and simplified adaptation of his magnum opus Ihyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn. The work explains the fundamental moral and religious principles necessary for attaining spiritual maturity. Topics such as self-knowledge, purification of the soul, articles of faith, the significance of worship, belief in the hereafter, states of the heart and soul, repentance, and spiritual cleansing are discussed in depth. Al-Ghazālī emphasizes that both worldly and eternal happiness can only be achieved through a life centered on divine consent."

"The question of how to create life does not just go back to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, when the eponymous character used forbidden science to create life. Humans have been interested in creating artificial life since at least classical antiquity and probably much earlier. One manifestation of this is the idea of the homunculus, a diminutive humanoid creature that was believed to be created through magical means."
