  Artist: Fran de Anda
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-08-2025, 03:27 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - Replies (1)

ALCHEMICAL CREATURES II is Fran de Anda’s second solo feature with Arch Enemy Arts, his follow-up to part one, which sold out last July. It features nine new paintings, including three full-length portraits with custom, hand-embellished frames. Using traditional techniques to grind his own pigment, de Anda paints celestial beings and anthropomorphic soothsayers in oil, gold and silver-leaf. His creatures don ancient religious garb, simplified forms and large, staring eyes that conjure early Byzantine iconography mixed with magic, surrealism, and an element of play.

“My inspiration is based on myths and archetypes such as life, death, nature, and the forces that act mysteriously in the world. I am interested in representing concepts like creation, fate, rain, fire, etc. through the alchemical symbolism of elements and the influence they cause on the viewer’s gaze. [I hope] that whoever looks at my work can find a little magic to accompany them on their journey to discover their place in this world.” - Fran de Anda

  From Miskatonic Books: Acausal Genesis
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-08-2025, 03:14 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Unveiling the forbidden architecture of Aeonic Alchemy, this grimoire guides the adept through the Five Stages of Satanic Alchemical Evolution, mapping a path from the psyche to the unbound flame. From the Four Black Thrones and Towers of Chaos to the Void Sutra of ritual dissolution, from Sex Magick as a vehicle of Self-Deification to the intersections of dimension, perception, and primal force, every page is a step away from the human and toward the daemonic."

  Healing Relational Trauma with Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-08-2025, 03:12 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Relationships offer a path to heal our emotional trauma through divine alchemy. Alchemy is the ancient mystical art of transmuting base metals into gold, and is a metaphor for intimate relationships. Divine alchemy refers to the transformation of unconscious emotional material, often associated with trauma—pain, conflict, shame, fear, and unmet needs—into authentic connection, intimacy, and inner wholeness."

  Atomism from the 17th to the 20th Century
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-08-2025, 03:04 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

" There was an increasing tendency for atomists to borrow in an opportunist way from both the mechanical and natural minima traditions as well as from the alchemical tradition which employed atomistic theories of its own as Newman (1991, 143–190 and 1994, 92–114) has documented. Thus an Aristotelian proponent of the natural minima tradition, Daniel Sennert, whose main interest was in chemistry in medical contexts, drew on the work of the alchemists as well as that of the minima theorists, employed minima in physical as well as chemical contexts, and insisted that his atomism had much in common with that of Democritus."

  Decoding the Voynich Manuscript
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-08-2025, 02:59 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"We analyzed “unknown words”: they turned out to be alchemical terms from the Schola secreta sapientiae tradition.

Result: more than 90% of the Voynich Manuscript’s sentences follow Latin grammatical rules (specifically, medieval alchemical Latin)."

  Reinventing the Wheel: A 16th Century Alchemical Symbol
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-08-2025, 02:52 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

The alchemical cogs of history spun and danced as they drove modernity. It is apt that the image below hearkens to such cogs.

Here we find an incredible Newtonian image, albeit with curious alchemical roots.

  Substack: Archetypical - Alchemical Self-Actualization: Solutio
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-08-2025, 02:50 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"To the alchemists, water was represented through the process of Solutio. Dissolving. To reduce a substance to its particles and wash it clean. This was so fundamental to alchemy that the phrase Solve et Coagula was their main motto. Dissolve then reform. Surrender to the oceanic bliss of the unconscious, and then rebuild the self that is found there. There is no better metaphor for deep inner work."
