The answer is I do not. Ethel Colquhoun mentioned it in Sword of Wisdom and her frustration as to not being able to find a copy. Bob Gilbert hinted he had a copy on his shelf. What intrigued me to this work was that Colquhoun was she associated it to the 22 cards of the tarot.<br/><br/>Overall, I have never been great fan of Mathers alchemical judgment which I thought was superficial at best, based on the use the "<b><i>Purifying Fire</i></b>" diagrams in ritual and lack of any real alchemical analysis in the 5=6. Westcott's own work on this is not much better.<br/><br/>In my Kabbalah of the GD book I broke down a 3, 7 and 12 stage alchemy that could be applied to the 22 trumps as I am convinced that was the only sensible way to go in looking at the trumps from a whole alchemical viewpoint. However I have already done an analysis of this book and that is included in my course.<br/><br/>I am sure that in time the Mathers analysis of Splendor Solis will find its way onto the market and when it does it may be a disappointment as to content. Now if Garstin did the analysis then you'd really see something, but he did not.<br/><br/>Out of all the alchemical works, Splendor Solis is something special and I would suggest that GD temples use it in their inner order courses. The best plates are from the British Library but if you are going to do any analysis worthy of the names then bring in earlier and later versions of the plates and contrast them, that is what I did.<br/><br/>Have you got all this Frater SR (Sincerus Renatus)? If you are going to play proctologist you might need a bigger brighter flashlight on your helmet. (Editor's note: I apologize for republishing such vulgarity. Such dripping sarcasm - stock and trade of the GOLDEN DAWN HATFIELD AND MCCOY FEUD - unfortunately continues to distract from legitimate scholarly discourse.)<br/><br/>PatPat Zalewski is on an entirely erroneous track when it comes to alchemical images. It is obvious from the above post that Pat Zalewski is clearly NOT an INITIATE of Hermetic Alchemy. <br/><br/>The error in Pat Zalewski's thinking is attempting to impose a Golden Dawn framework onto enigmatic alchemical images.<br/><br/>Carl Gustav Jung made this same error in his approach to alchemical imagery as well. This approach indeed did provide Jung with much needed justification of his theories of the process of individuation and of the collective unconscious that were not being readily accepted by the scientific community of Jung's time.<br/><br/>This also led Jung, however, to completely false conclusions about the true nature of Hermetic alchemy, which has nothing to do with any sort of psychological individuation process.<br/><br/>Hermetic Alchemy, in truth, instead deals with the cultivation of a "<b><i>Body of Glory</i></b>" or "<b><i>Solar Body of Light</i></b>" (<u><b>Gold</b></u>), which is created through the transmutation of the "<b><i>Prima Materia</i></b>", the matter of the physical body (<u><b>Lead</b></u>). The goal of this "<b><i>Opus Magnum</i></b>" is for the alchemist to separate his or her consciousness from the physical body at the moment of death, and to project it into this "<b><i>Solar Body of Light,</i></b>" thus becoming consciously immortal in the Solar dimension that exists at the speed of light.The transmutation of this "<b><i>Lead</i></b>" into "<b><i>Gold</i></b>" is accomplished by "<b><i>cooking</i></b>" the "<b><i>Prima Materia</i></b>" with the subtle fires of the body itself, the most powerful of which are love and sexuality.This central role of love and sexuality, male and female, Sun and Moon, in spiritual development using Hermetic Alchemy, combined with the Holy Inquisition of the Roman Catholic church, is one essential reason why the true nature of Hermetic Alchemy has been kept the most carefully guarded secret of the Western mystery tradition for nearly 2,000 years.<br/><br/>Thus, the fallacy that Pat Zalewski has fallen into, is precisely the same trap that Jung fell into as well, and for precisely the same reason - namely that Mr. Zalewski is trying to use alchemical images to justify his personal theories about the Golden Dawn.<br/><br/>I can assure you that the images of the Splendor Solis have nothing to do with the 22 trumps of the Tarot.<br/><br/>In fact, the series of images of the Splendor Solis actually describe how to achieve immortality and how to cultivate of a Solar Body of Light. <br/><br/>Each image describes in precise detail - specific techniques to be used at each step of the way - albeit in a manner that is only intelligible to an INITIATE of Hermetic Alchemy. <br/><br/>True alchemical knowledge is not based on useless speculation about Tarot Cards or Unconscious archetypes.<br/><br/>Hermetic Alchemy is a powerful INITIATIC tradition - and its understanding has been faithfully transmitted from Alchemical Master to Apprentice for over two Millennia in Europe! Unless one is actually INITIATED into the mysteries Hermetic Alchemy - it is better to merely leave alchemical imagery alone - as the best one can hope for is to come to completely erroneous conclusions - and to become hopelessly lost in the alchemical labyrinth - as is clearly presently the case with Pat Zalewksi.<br/><br/>There is indeed a relationship between Hermetic Alchemy and the Golden Dawn. Hermetic Alchemy permeates the entire symbolis, grade rituals, and magical system of the Golden Dawn. It is, however, the true practices of Hermetic Alchemy, known only to INITIATES of the highest grades of the Golden Dawn (<u><b>unavailable to Pat Zalewski</b></u>) that reveal the true meanings of the rites and practices of the Golden Dawn. <br/><br/>It is certainly not the other way around as Pat Zalewski is attempting - to justify his personal theories about the rites and practices of the Golden Dawn using the enigmatic images of Hermetic Alchemy. In so doing, Pat Zalewski is going about things completely backwards. He is putting the proverbial cart before the ox - so to say.It is only the alchemical Master that can unfold the mysteries of Hermetic Alchemy before the eyes of the Apprentice - and for the Profane and Unitiated these mysteries shall forever remain a book sealed with seven seals - for they look but do not see.<br/><br/>Truly I say unto you - as the Hermetic sages have said before me - that for the profane and the uninitiated:<br/><br/>NEITHER TORCHES NOR GLASSES CAN HELP THOSE WITHOUT EYES TO SEE!Sub Umbra Alarum Tuarum, YeheshuaDavid Griffin<br/><br/>G.H.

But the 4th Book was obviously not written by Agrippa and bears no resemblance to his style of writing. Although it can be traced back to the 16th century as it is mentioned by Agrippa's student, Johann Weyer in his "<b><i>De Praestigiis Daemonum</i></b>", the work remains of uncertain provencance.<br/><br/>In part a partial summary of some of Agrippa's writings, this facsimile of the English translation by the 17th century Cambridge scholar Robert Turner, comprises spurious essays on Geomancy and Magick under the name of Agrippa, The Heptameron of Peter of Abano, and books on Astrology and Demonolgy, concluding with the Arbatel, a largely Judeo-Christian outlook on the dangers of magic.<br/><br/>It is a very quick and easy read, despite the portions dealing with Geomancy and Astrology that even those serious about such subjects would find largely frustrating and incomprehensible.<br/><br/>The work largely remains of pure historical interest with not much of serious substance to an undertanding of Magic and Occult Philiosphy. <br/><br/>This volume is a facsimile of Robert Turner's English translation (<u><b>1654</b></u>); the original volume first appeared (<u><b>in Latin</b></u>) in Marburg around 1554. The original volume included a large number of short texts of varying interest, but Robert Turner's (<u><b>1654</b></u>) (for unclear reasons) decided only to translate a few of them. This edition includes 6 short texts: Of Geomancy (<u><b>H.C. Agrippa</b></u>); Of Occult Philosophy the Three Book (<u><b>pseudo-Agrippa</b></u>); Heptameron or Magical Elements (<u><b>pseudo-Peter de Abano</b></u>); Isagoge: An Introductory Discourse on the Nature of... Spirits... (<u><b>Georg Pictorius Villinganus</b></u>); Of Astronomical Geomancy (<u><b>Gerard of Cremona</b></u>); and the anonymous Arbatel of Magic. Only the Geomancy is actually by Agrippa, and it doesn't fit well with the other texts. The Three Book is, as another reviewer noted, certainly spurious; it purports to be Agrippa's "<b><i>secret key</i></b>" to the Occult Philosophy, of which he spoke in a letter to a friend. The Heptameron and the Arbatel are grimoires of some interest for those interested in black magic, as indeed is the Three Book itself; the Isagoge is a rather dull dialogue about spirits; and the Astronomical Geomancy is more or less impenetrable but perhaps interesting in a peculiar way. There have been a number of reprints of this volume, some now surprisingly valuable despite their modernity; all, however, have trimmed out one or more of the already few texts. As such, this is probably the best edition available. It is, like all Kessinger products, a cheaply-bound xerox facsimile of the original 17th-century text, but it's readable and includes everything. If you collect grimoires or magical texts, this is a very famous one, and you ought to have it; copies of the various Latin printings turn up with some regularity, and those with access to Latin would do better with those, although they are of course quite expensive. If you're looking for works by Agrippa, the Geomancy is all you'll find here, but it's interesting in a number of respects. If you want to know about Agrippa's ceremonial magic, however, you need to read book 3 of the Occult Philosophy, available in a nice Llewellyn edition.<br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div><center style="font-size:18px;text-align:center;">Download Henry Cornelius Agrippa's eBook: <a target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=2063314371" style="font-size:17px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;" >Three Books Of Occult Philosophy Book I</a></center><br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div>Labels: <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2007/10/occult-philosophy-and-magick.html" >occult philosophy</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/10/apollonius-of-tyana.html" >apollonius of tyana and jesus</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/enochian-language-of-edward-kelley.html" >learn enochian language</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2009/05/history-of-western-alchemy.html" >western alchemy</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/enochian-language-of-edward-kelley.html" >enochian language dictionary</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-books-of-occult-philosophy-book.html" >three books of occult philosophy pdf</a> </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-56277858371345532122012-01-05T17:44:00.000-08:002012-02-24T18:41:19.715-08:00Philosopher Stone<div style="width:364px;margin: 7px auto;"><div style="float:left;width:80px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a></div><div style="float:left;width:78px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;margin-left:2px; overflow:hidden;"><a class="DiggThisButton DiggCompact"></a></div><div style="float:left;width:76px;height:30px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe width="76px" height="30px" style="width:76px;height:30px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/1/" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:60px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><div data-size="medium" class="g-plusone"></div></div><div style="float:left;width:46px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><div class="fb-like" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false"></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><center><div style="float:none;text-align:center;align:center;width: 64%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-lgMePXDb7Kk/TJvEu3Ed8NI/AAAAAAAABzE/sCfI-ww5Y7M/Philosopher%252520Stone.png" border="0" alt="Philosopher Stone Image" title="Philosopher Stone" /></div></center><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><h1 style="text-align:center;font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;">Book: Philosopher Stone by Israel Regardie</h1>This book presents text and analysis of three major alchemical works, approached symbolically, using the symbol systems and viewpoints of magic and psychology. According to author, Alchemy "<b><i>aspires towards the development of an integrated and free man who is illumined.</i></b>" <br/><br/>Francis Israel Regardie was an occultist, author and one time secretary to the legendary Aleister Crowley. As an adept of the now defunct secret order known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he became infamous among the occultists of his day for breaking his oath of secrecy and publishing the order’s complete rituals in his book “The Golden Dawn”. Today this book is a classic best seller and has been revised and re-issued several times. Overshadowed by his association with Crowley, much of his work has been left unappreciated by those outside of the realms of high magic and occultism.<br/><br/>Regardie was born Francis Israel Regudy in London, England on the 17th November 1907. His parents were poor Jewish immigrants and during the course of WW1 when his older brother joined the army, his name was accidentally written down as “Regardie”. Rather than change it, it was then adopted as the family name. Later Regardie also dropped the use of Francis, preferring to be known simply as Israel Regardie.<br/><br/>In August 1921 at the age of 13, his family immigrated to the United States and settled in Washington D.C. There Regardie was educated and studied art in schools in Washington and Philadelphia. A bright an intuitive scholar, even at that age, he became interested in the theosophical works of Madame Blavatsky, yoga, and Hindu philosophy. He would often be found at the Library of Congress conducting his own studies. Soon after he found a Hebrew tutor who taught him to read Hebrew, an ability that aided him enormously when he started his Qabalistic studies.<br/><br/>On the 18th February 1926, Regardie applied for membership to the Washington College of the Societas Rosicruciana in America (<u><b>S.R.I.A.</b></u>). He was initiated into the Neophyte grade on 18th March 1926 and advanced to the Zelator grade on 2nd June 1927. It was during this time that Regardie became interested in occultism and having discovered a book by Aleister Crowley, was soon captivated by his activities and writings.<br/><br/>Regardie wrote to Crowley in Paris and eventually received a reply. Soon after he was offered the job as his secretary in Paris. Regardie saw this as an opportunity to learn magic from a published authority, and in October 1928 he traveled to France and accepted the job. For the next three years Regardie tried to get Crowley to teach him the magical arts. However Crowley never offered and Regardie, a reserved and modest young man, did not pursue the matter. Instead he continued to study on his own, reading every book, article or manuscript that became available to him.<br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div><center style="font-size:18px;text-align:center;">Find Israel Regardie's book in <b>amazon.com</b>:<br> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/?keyword=Israel+Regardie+-+Philosopher+Stone&tag=pumeli-20" style="font-size:17px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;" >Philosopher Stone</a></center><br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div>Labels: <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/enochian-language-of-edward-kelley.html" >the enochian</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/minerals-and-gems-in-indian-alchemy_30.html" >rocks minerals and gems</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2008/12/emerald-tablets-of-thoth.html" >emerald tablets of thoth</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2009/02/esoteric-symbols.html" >esoteric symbols</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/john-dee-biography.html" >john dee smith</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemical symbols and meanings</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/10/apollonius-of-tyana.html" >apollonius of tyana and jesus</a> <a href="http://darkbooks.org/articles/How-to-Cast-Voodoo-Spells.html" >hoodoo spells</a> <br></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-82943670997042109562011-12-26T18:05:00.000-08:002012-10-27T12:53:59.928-07:00Tricky History Of The Hermetic Tradition<div style="width:200px;margin: 7px auto;"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script><!-- AddThis Button END --></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 55%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4EujbCoZ_xo/UIw7uk9XFyI/AAAAAAAACvk/3MQ4vggV5LE/Tricky%252520History%252520Of%252520The%252520Hermetic%252520Tradition.jpg" border="0" alt="Tricky History Of The Hermetic Tradition Image" title="Tricky History Of The Hermetic Tradition" /></div></span><span style="text-align:justify;align:left;">The basis for Hermetics and Hermeticism is the Greek god Hermes, also known by his Roman name Mercury. Hermes is one of the most interesting and diverse of the gods. He is also one of the trickiest and hardest to pin down. That's why I call him the liminal god. Since Hermes is, among many other things, the god of the crossroads -one of his symbols is a rock defining boundaries- liminal is an apt word to describe him.<br/><br/>Hermes is a messenger, a trickster, protector of travelers, a thief, a guide for souls after death and an orator. Many of these roles are related to the theme of boundaries. Connecting the living and the dead is an obvious example of this, as well as his association with travel and delivering messages for the other gods. He is also an expert at persuasion and oration, and his words are not necessarily true in the literal sense. In this regard he could be conceived as the god of lawyers. Or, to go back to the Platonic dialogues, where Socrates differentiates between true philosophy and sophistry, Hermes would seem to epitomize the latter.<br/><br/>What do we make of a god like Hermes, who seems to be morally ambiguous at best? Are tales about him meant to be mere entertainment -the ancient equivalent perhaps of contemporary soap operas, where some of the most interesting characters are borderline villains- or is there also a deeper meaning?<br/><br/>To answer this question, we can explore some of the teachings of the Hermetic Tradition. The very words "<b><i>Hermetic Tradition</i></b>" are almost as tricky and nebulous as Hermes himself. Many mystery schools, cults and modern day occult systems have sprung up over the ages claiming to be heirs to the "<b><i>authentic</i></b>" hermetic teachings. Some of these claim that their knowledge derives from the *real* Hermes, that is Hermes Trismegistus. This teacher is usually placed somewhere in distant antiquity, usually in Egypt (<u><b>though sometimes Atlantis</b></u>). He is sometimes referred to as the teacher of Moses. He is also equated with the Egyptian god Thoth.<br/><br/>In the early Christian era, some writings appeared that put down some Hermetic teachings. In later years, these documents were often said to be much older than they actually were. These writings, which are often referred to as Corpus Hermeticum reflected the syncretistic atmosphere of late antiquity in places like Alexandria. They were influenced by diverse sources, such as Christianity, NeoPlatonism, paganism and Gnosticism.<br/><br/>Over the years, Hermeticism has resurged, most notably in the Renaissance, when alchemy, the tarot and other esoteric teachings became popular. Then again, in the 19th Century, England, and to a lesser extent America, saw another wave of occult teachings surface with movements such as Rosicrucianism and Theosophy. Groups such as The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn popularized (<u><b>at least to some extent; these were never mass movements</b></u>) the belief that the Hermetic doctrine was an unbroken line that could be traced back to ancient times.<br/><br/>In the early 20th Century a small book called The Kybalion appeared, authored by someone (<u><b>or several people</b></u>) only identified as "<b><i>Three Initiates.</i></b>" This book summarizes some mystical principles of Hermeticism, such as the most famous maxim of all, As Above, So Below. In this book we can also see an early version of doctrines such as The Law of Attraction.<br/><br/>Now, with the New Age movement, Hermeticism has found a new audience, though today people are more likely to combine it with the teachings of other traditions. In a way, this is fitting, as Hermeticism itself was born out of eclecticism.<br/><br/>If this (<u><b>admittedly simplistic</b></u>) summary of Hermeticism sounds a bit casual and perhaps skeptical, this is not entirely unintentional. I believe that there is great wisdom in the Hermetic Tradition, but that to gain the most from it requires a highly skeptical attitude towards all teachers, groups and dogmas. In this regard, we might see Hermeticism as the Taoism of the West. Anyone who has read the Tao Teh Ching probably recalls the first stanza, "The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao."<br/><br/>The wisdom of Hermeticism requires that you delve more deeply into the ambiguous nature of Hermes himself. You have to be able to come to terms with a world where truth and falsehood are often hopelessly mixed up. One of the "<b><i>gurus</i></b>" of the Hermetic Tradition, Aleister Crowley, certainly embodied this idea. With his controversial life and deliberately paradoxical teachings, you cannot take anything he says at face value. Yet you can't dismiss it as nonsense either. One of his books, in fact, was called The Book of Lies.<br/><br/>To borrow once again from the Chinese wisdom of Taoism, consider the Yin-Yang symbol. It is usually portrayed as a circle broken into halves, one black, one white, symbolizing the duality of Yin and Yang (<u><b>or male and female, positive and negative, etc.</b></u>). Yet the symbol has another quality; there is usually a black dot in the white half and a white dot in the black half. This is telling us that a thing always contains an element of its opposite. If you read The Kybalion, you will see that this is perfectly consistent with Hermetic Teachings.<br/><br/>There are tricksters in many traditions. The Norse god Loki and the Native American Coyote are two well known examples. These characters play important roles in the myths in which they reside. They seem to suggest that life itself is not always what it seems, and that the belief in purity, such as pure truth or pure falsehood is itself a myth. Hermes, or Mercury, is often associated with both The Fool and The Magician (<u><b>both tricksters in their own ways</b></u>) of the tarot.<br/><br/>So if you study the Hermetic Tradition, you need to be both skeptical and open-minded. Much of what you read may not be true at all. For example, there is no evidence that a man named Hermes Trismegistus ever lived. Yet his teachings may contain great wisdom all the same!<br/><br/>For more about the Hermes and the Hermetic Tradition, see Hermetic Wisdom [<u><i>http://www.hermeticwisdom.com</i></u>].<br/><br/>To further explore all things liminal, check out Liminal Worlds.<br/><br/><i><h3>Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Larry Christopher</h3></i><br/><br/><div style="clear:both;"></div>Labels: <a href="/2010/02/elementary-productions-white-phosphorus.html" >productions white phosphorus</a> <a href="/2008/06/fulminating-gold-first-high-explosive.html" >fulminating first</a> <a href="/2010/11/gold-refining-precipitating-gold-out-of.html" >out aqua</a> <a href="/2009/07/ahmad-ibn-imad-ul-din.html" >ahmad ibn</a> <a href="/2007/10/theological-and-philosophical-works-of.html" >theological philosophical</a> <a href="/2009/06/how-much-gold-silver-palladium-recovery.html" >palladium recovery computer</a> <a href="http://candle-magic.blogspot.com/2011/02/candle-magic.html" >candle magic color meanings</a> <a href="http://candle-magic.blogspot.com/2012/05/candle-magic-love-spells.html" >simple love spells</a> <a href="http://candle-magic.blogspot.com/2009/02/candle-black-magic-revenge-spell.html" >black magic candles</a> <a href="http://candle-magic.blogspot.com/2009/02/candle-black-magic-revenge-spell.html" >how to use black magic</a> <br></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-41106215589884566122011-12-23T17:49:00.000-08:002012-07-17T13:44:08.699-07:00Alchemy Scientific Basis<div style="width:366px;margin: 7px auto;"><div style="float:left;width:82px;height:20px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets/tweet_button.html?&count=horizontal" style="width:82px; height:20px;"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:78px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;margin-left:2px; overflow:hidden;"><a class="DiggThisButton DiggCompact"></a></div><div style="float:left;width:76px;height:30px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe width="76px" height="20px" frameborder="0" border="0" style="width:76px; height:20px; overflow: hidden; margin:0px; padding:0px; border-style:none; border-width:0px;" src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/1/" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:60px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><div data-size="medium" class="g-plusone"></div></div><div style="float:left;width:46px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="60" data-show-faces="false"></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 40%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-DAnWODPxSL4/TJvEtEM2RZI/AAAAAAAABy0/_n0MiEyHugk/Alchemy.png" border="0" alt="Alchemy Scientific Basis Image" title="Alchemy Scientific Basis" /></div></span><span style="text-align:justify;align:left;">"A version of this article was posted on my old blog. This a rewrite of the same concept rather than a repost."<br/><br/>Modern people often assume that individuals who lived during the Renaissance and Medieval periods were less intelligent than individuals living today. After all, they believed in all sorts of things that science has shown to be false or even ridiculous. Furthermore, some of these beliefs seem to defy the conventional notion of common sense and as a result it is unclear how they ever came about. What we know about evolution, though, tells us that we couldn't have evolved that much over even the last several thousand years. The ancients were just as smart as we are, but they did have a vastly more limited knowledge base in the physical sciences.<br/><br/>In the modern age we have solved the age-old problem of manufacturing gold from other elements. The trick is to use nuclear processes that alter the structure of atoms, and it can be done in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators. It turns out that making gold from lead, as the folklore suggests alchemists did, is not the way to go. Instead, you want to synthesize it from Mercury. As Mercury appears prominently in alchemical writings, I did some research to see if it might actually have been possible for ancient alchemists to have hit upon something similar to the modern method hundreds or even thousands of years ago. My academic background is in psychology rather than physics, so if I'm making some key error here feel free to let me know - but some of the evidence suggests that they might have been able to actually accomplish the synthesis of gold.<br/><br/>The ancients had no particle accelerators or nuclear reactors so some lower-technology method must have been employed. The only real option that a low-technology society would have is the exposure of base material to a highly radioactive element. Uranium wouldn't work because it doesn't give off a high enough level of radiation to come anywhere close to the energy requirements, and elements like plutonium do not occur in nature. A possible viable candidate, though, is radium. It is highly radioactive and can be found in small amounts in pitchblende, an ore that is found in central Europe. While the ancients had no mass spectrometry, radium is obviously different than the surrounding ore. It glows like the magical stones of ancient legends and also gives off heat.<br/><br/>Mercury is the only viable base material. It can be transformed into gold following this equation:<br/><br/>"Mercury 198 + 6.8MeV gamma ray -> 1 neutron + Mercury 197 (half-life 2.7 days -> Gold 197)"<br/><br/>Approximately 10% of naturally occuring mercury is of isotope 198, so it is plentiful enough to be useful. The decay of one atom of radium 226 releases 4.871 MeV of energy, so at least two would have to decay for each transformed atom of Mercury.<br/><br/>So here's the idea. Alchemy talks about the red tincture, the white tincture, and the Philosopher's Stone. We also know that lead was used in the process and at least some alchemists probably did believe that it was the lead which transformed.<br/><br/>The Red Tincture - cinnebar, the ore from which Mercury is produced.<br/><br/>The White Tincture - radium, which in its pure form is white.<br/><br/>The Philosopher's Stone - a smelted piece of radium. Radium's melting point is 1292 degrees Farenheit, well within the temperature range of even a bronze age forge.<br/><br/><i><h3>The process might work something like this:</h3></i><br/> * Extract radium from pitchblende. This is the transformation from Nigredo to Albedo. Pitchblende ore is black and the extracted radium is white. The extracted radium is the alchemical "<b><i>salt</i></b>" due to its white appearance.<br/><br/> * Using a forge, melt the radium into some sort of mold to create a "stone."<br/><br/> * Extract the mercury from cinnebar. Cinnebar ore is red (<u><b>Rubedo</b></u>) and it during the extraction process it separates into Mercury and sulfur, which is yellow (<u><b>Citrinitas</b></u>). These are the alchemical sulphur and mercury - by this model the terms are literal.<br/><br/> * Place the liquid mercury into a lead vessel. Lead might have been arrived at simply because it offers some shielding from radioactivity. Needless to say, the entire process outlined here would be very dangerous to perform without modern safety equipment.<br/><br/> * Drop the radium "<b><i>stone</i></b>" into the mercury.<br/><br/> * Seal up the vessel and allow the mixture to "<b><i>incubate</i></b>" for a period of time. 40 days was commonly recommended, probably enough time for most of the mercury-198 isotope to transform.<br/><br/> * Open the vessel and remove the stone and mercury. The synthesized gold molecules would be deposited at the bottom of the vessel, which may have given rise to the idea that the lead was being transformed.<br/><br/>The stone would be reusable, so once you had accomplished (<u><b>1</b></u>) and (<u><b>2</b></u>) you wouldn't need to repeat the process. It's half-life would be about 1600 years so a stone could even be passed down from master to student over the course of centuries. You would need more mercury, though, to make more gold.<br/><br/>Whether or not this would work depends on two things. First off, the modern method of extracting radium from pitchblende uses electricity. Is there a lower-technology method that could have been applied in order to extract a small amount of the element? Second of all, would the radium actually produce enough concentrated decay energy to facilitate the transformation? One other issue is that to my knowledge we have never actually found one of these radium stones, which argues against the ancients ever coming up with this technology. However, they may have been regarded as so valuable and secret that they were never just left lying around. It might be interesting to sweep European alchemical labs with a detector and see if any buried sources of radiation can be found.<br/><br/>If I were a graduate student in physics and could get my hands on the materials, I would love to try it out. It could never have been developed to any practical level because the amounts of gold produced are tiny, and to this day it is cheaper to buy gold than it is to make it. Nevertheless, it intrigues me that this process does seem to match more features of the old accounts than you would expect due to chance alone, and the idea that the ancients could have managed a physical transformation is compelling and it would be interesting to know whether or not it is really possible.<br/><br/>Are there any physicists out there who might care to disabuse me of my ignorance? Fire away - I am by no means an expert and would love to hear why it can't work from someone who knows more about radioactive materials than I do.<br><br><center><div style="clear:both;"></div><p style="font-size:15px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">Also try this free pdf e-books:</p><a title="Reynold Nicholson" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=2040660271" >Reynold Nicholson</a> - <a title="The Mystics Of Islam" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=2040660271" >The Mystics Of Islam</a><br><a title="Baron Tschoudy" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1697880509" >Baron Tschoudy</a> - <a title="Alchemical Catechism" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1697880509" >Alchemical Catechism</a><br><a title="Herbert Stanley Redgrove" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/collection/Herbert-Stanley-Redgrove.html" >Herbert Stanley Redgrove</a> - <a title="Alchemy Ancient And Modern" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1345959722" >Alchemy Ancient And Modern</a><br></center></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-4097260793122035572011-12-19T18:30:00.000-08:002012-02-21T02:02:01.489-08:00Compte Saint Germain<div style="width:364px;margin: 7px auto;"><div style="float:left;width:80px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a></div><div style="float:left;width:78px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;margin-left:2px; overflow:hidden;"><a class="DiggThisButton DiggCompact"></a></div><div style="float:left;width:76px;height:30px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe width="76px" height="30px" style="width:76px;height:30px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/1/" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:60px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><div data-size="medium" class="g-plusone"></div></div><div style="float:left;width:46px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><div class="fb-like" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false"></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 54%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fgGe9J7U0xE/TJvCO4L5zKI/AAAAAAAABnU/BYNXlmrwCpY/Compte%252520Saint%252520Germain.png" border="0" alt="Compte Saint Germain Image" title="Compte Saint Germain" /></div></span><span style="text-align:left;align:left;">Compte St. Germain (<u><b>17101935</b></u>) has been variously described as a courtier, adventurer, charlatan, inventor, alchemist, pianist, violinist and amateur composer, but is best known as a recurring figure in the stories of several strands of occultism particularly those connected to Theosophy and the White Eagle Lodge, where he is also referred to as the Master Rakoczi or the Master R and as one of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, is credited with near god-like powers and longevity. Some sources write that his name is not familial, but was invented by him as a French version of the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning "<b><i>Holy Brother.</i></b>" He was known as '<i>Der Wundermann</i>' -- '<i>The Wonderman</i>'. He was a man whose origin was unknown and who disappeared without leaving a trace.<br/><br/>Since his death, various occult organizations have adopted him as a model figure or even as a powerful deity. In recent years several people have claimed to be the Count of St. Germain. (<u><b>Note that St Germain was never regarded as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church - the "<b><i>st.</i></b>" before his name refers to his alleged home</b></u>).<br/><br/>St. Germain never revealed his actual background and identity, leading to many speculations about him and his origin and ancestry. Some of these include the possibility that he was the son of Francis II Rakoczi, the Prince of Transylvania (<u><b>who was in exile</b></u>), or that he was the illegitimate son of Maria Anna of Pfalz-Neuburg, the widow of Charles II of Spain.<br/><br/>While he may have studied in Italy at Siena University, possibly as a protege of Grand Duke Gian Gastone (<u><b>the last of the Medici line</b></u>), St. Germain's first chronicled appearances were in London in 1743 and in Edinburgh in 1745, where he was apparently arrested for spying. He was released and soon acquired a reputation as a great violinist. He was ascetic and apparently celibate. During this time he met Jean-Jacques Rousseau.<br/><br/>In 1746 he disappeared. Horace Walpole, who knew him from about 1745 in London, described him thus: "<b><i>He sings, plays the violin wonderfully, composes, is mad and not very sensible</i></b>".<br/><br/>He reappeared in Versailles in 1758. He claimed to have had recipes for dyes and acquired quarters in the Chateau de Chambord. During this time in Paris he gave diamonds as gifts and reputedly hinted that he was centuries old. The old portrait of him dates from these years. He was an acquaintance of Louis XV and his mistress Madame de Pompadour. At the time a mime, Gower, began to mimic his mannerism in salons, joking that he would have advised Jesus.<br/><br/>In 1760 he left for England through Holland when the minister of State, Duke of Choiseul, tried to have him arrested.<br/><br/>After that the Count passed through the Netherlands into Russia and apparently was in St Petersburg when the Russian army put Catherine the Great on the throne. Later conspiracy theories credit him for causing it. The next year he turned up in Belgium, bought land and took the name Surmount. He tried to offer his processes treatments of wood, leather, oil paint to the state.<br/><br/>During his negotiations that came to nothing with Belgian minister Karl Cobenzl he hinted at a royal birth and turned iron into something resembling gold. He then disappeared for 11 years.<br/><br/>In 1774 he resurfaced, and apparently tried to present himself to a count in Bavaria as Freiherr Reinhard Gemmingen-Guttenberg, the count Tsarogy.<br/><br/>In 1776 the Count was in Germany, calling himself Count Welldone, and again offered recipes cosmetics, wines, liqueurs, treatments of bone, paper and ivory. He alienated King Frederick's emissaries by his claims of transmutation of gold and reputedly compared himself to God. To Frederick he claimed to have been a Freemason. He settled in a house of Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel, governor of Schleswig-Holstein and studied herbal remedies and chemistry to give to the poor. To him he claimed he was a Francis Rakoczy II, Prince of Transylvania. <br/><br/>In the Godfre Ray King books, and Law of Life books is said that St. Germain was Joseph the foster-father of Jesus, Merlin the magician of King Arthur's Court, Roger Bacon, Christian Rosenkreuz of Germany, Christopher Columbus, Francis Bacon and Prince Rakoczy of Transylvania, in previous reincarnations. These beliefs about his previous incarnations are also promulgated by the Church Universal and Triumphant, with the addition that he was also incarnated as the ancient Jewish Prophet Samuel, as Saint Alban, and as a high priest of the white magicians in Atlantis. Guy Ballard claimed his book The Magic Presence was channeled to him from St. Germain (<u><b>The official I Am edition of The Magic Presence, regarded as a sacred scripture, is printed in a violet colored typeface on lavender paper.</b></u>).<br/><br/>According to Elizabeth Clare Prophet, St. Germain ascended on May 1st 1684. Although Sir Francis Bacon is said to have died in 1626, Prophet claims that the body in the coffin at Sir Francis Bacon's funeral was not his own and that he attended his own funeral. Supposedly, he continued living until his ascension in 1684. Thus, according to Prophet, the historical St. Germain was already an ascended master.In the Church Universal and Triumphant St Germain is regarded as a deity outranked only in importance by Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, and Sanat Kumara (<u><b>the "Lord of the World"</b></u>), and in that church, he is the deity towards whom the most intense devotion is given. Guy Ballard, the founder of I Am, originated the meditation practice of invoking the "<b><i>Violet Flame</i></b>" from St. Germain in order to contact one's "<b><i>I Am Presence</i></b>" and revivify one's etheric body. This practice has been continued by the Church Universal and Triumphant.<br/><br/>Conspiracy theorists who believe in NESARA, a purported secret law that the US government denies the existence of (<u><b>such as controversial evangelist Sherry Shriner</b></u>), believe that St. Germain is still alive and is actively working with Jesus Christ and with benevolent space aliens to get the law enacted. <br><br><center><div style="clear:both;"></div><p style="font-size:15px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">Also try this free pdf e-books:</p><a title="Howard Phillips Lovecraft" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft-1.html" >Howard Phillips Lovecraft</a> -

Sometimes a prophet comes forward and speaks. Or a sect of mystics receives the teaching of a philosophy, like rain on a summer evening, gathers it in and spreads it abroad with love. Or it may happen that a charlatan, performing tricks to astonish men, may produce, perhaps without knowing it himself, a ray of real light with his dice and magic mirrors. In the fourteenth century, the pure truth of the masters was transmitted by a book.<br/><br/>This book fell into the hands of precisely the man who was destined to receive it; and he, with the help of the text and the hieroglyphic diagrams that taught the transmutation of metals into gold, accomplished the transmutation of his soul, which is a far rarer and more wonderful operation.<br/><br/>Thanks to the amazing book of Abraham the Jew all the Hermetists of the following centuries had the opportunity of admiring an example of a perfect life, that of Nicolas Flamel, the man who received the book. After his death or disappearance many students and alchemists who had devoted their lives to the search for the Philosopher's Stone despaired because they had not in their possession the wonderful book that contained the secret of gold and of eternal life. But their despair was unnecessary. The secret had become alive. The magic formula had become incarnate in the actions of a man. No ingot of virgin gold melted in the crucibles could, in color or purity, attain the beauty of the wise bookseller's pious life.<br/><br/>There is nothing legendary about the life of Nicolas Flamel. The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris contains works copied in his own hand and original works written by him. All the official documents relating to his life have been found: his marriage contract, his deeds of gift, his will. His history rests solidly on those substantial material proofs for which men clamor if they are to believe in obvious things. To this indisputably authentic history, legend has added a few flowers. But in every spot where the flowers of legend grow, underneath there is the solid earth of truth.<br/><br/>Whether Nicolas Flamel was born at Pontoise or somewhere else, a question that historians have argued and investigated with extreme attention, seems to me to be entirely without importance. It is enough to know that towards the middle of the fourteenth century, Flamel was carrying on the trade of a bookseller and had a stall backing on to the columns of Saint-Jacques la Boucherie in Paris. It was not a big stall, for it measured only two feet by two and a half. However, it grew. He bought a house in the old rue de Marivaux and used the ground floor for his business. Copyists and illuminators did their work there. He himself gave a few writing lessons and taught nobles who could only sign their names with a cross. One of the copyists or illuminators acted also as a servant to him.<br/><br/>Nicolas Flamel married Pernelle, a good-looking, intelligent widow, slightly older than himself and the possessor of a little property. Every man meets once in his life the woman with whom he could live in peace and harmony. For Nicolas Flamel, Pernelle was that woman. Over and above her natural qualities, she had another which is still rarer. She was a woman who was capable of keeping a secret all her life without revealing it to anybody in confidence. But the story of Nicolas Flamel is the story of a book for the most part. The secret made its appearance with the book, and neither the death of its possessors nor the lapse of centuries led to the complete discovery of the secret.<br/><br/>Nicolas Flamel had acquired some knowledge of the Hermetic art. The ancient alchemy of the Egyptians and the Greeks that flourished among the Arabs had, thanks to them, penetrated to Christian countries. Nicolas Flamel did not, of course, regard alchemy as a mere vulgar search for the means of making gold.<br/><br/>For every exalted mind the finding of the Philosopher's Stone was the finding of the essential secret of Nature, the secret of her unity and her laws, the possession of perfect wisdom. Flamel dreamed of sharing in this wisdom. His ideal was the highest that man could attain. And he knew that it could be realized through a book, for the secret of the Philosopher's Stone had already been found and transcribed in symbolic form. Somewhere it existed. It was in the hands of unknown sages who lived somewhere unknown. But how difficult it was for a small Paris bookseller to get into touch with those sages.<br/><br/>Nothing, really, has changed since the fourteenth century. In our day also many men strive desperately towards an ideal, the path which they know but cannot climb; and they hope to win the magic formula (<u><b>which will make them new beings</b></u>) from some miraculous visit or from a book written expressly for them. But for most, the visitor does not come and the book is not written.<br/><br/>Yet for Nicolas Flamel the book was written. Perhaps because a bookseller is better situated than other people to receive a unique book; perhaps because the strength of his desire organized events without his knowledge, so that the book came when it was time. So strong was his desire, that the coming of the book was preceded by a dream, which shows that this wise and well-balanced bookseller had a tendency to mysticism. <br><br><center><div style="clear:both;"></div><p style="font-size:15px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">Also try this free pdf e-books:</p><a title="Reynold Nicholson" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=2040660271" >Reynold Nicholson</a> - <a title="The Mystics Of Islam" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=2040660271" >The Mystics Of Islam</a><br><a title="Howard Phillips Lovecraft" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft-1.html" >Howard Phillips Lovecraft</a> - <a title="Pickmans Model" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=82324664" >Pickmans Model</a><br></center><br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div>Labels: <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemical symbol for gold</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemical symbol</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-is-alchemy.html" >what is alchemy</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2009/05/history-of-western-alchemy.html" >western alchemy</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemical symbols meaning</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-books-of-occult-philosophy-book.html" >three books of occult philosophy pdf</a> </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-15017581141042496382011-10-21T09:05:00.000-07:002012-02-21T02:02:05.384-08:00Chinese Alchemy<div style="width:364px;margin: 7px auto;"><div style="float:left;width:80px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a></div><div style="float:left;width:78px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;margin-left:2px; overflow:hidden;"><a class="DiggThisButton DiggCompact"></a></div><div style="float:left;width:76px;height:30px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe width="76px" height="30px" style="width:76px;height:30px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/1/" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:60px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><div data-size="medium" class="g-plusone"></div></div><div style="float:left;width:46px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><div class="fb-like" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false"></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><center><div style="float:none;text-align:center;align:center;width: 69%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-mNL16OZ0zKU/TU_o-PEmVMI/AAAAAAAACFQ/EFNFY_Eb9rA/Chinese%252520Alchemy.jpg" border="0" alt="Chinese Alchemy Image" title="Chinese Alchemy" /></div></center><span style="text-align:left;align:left;">Chinese alchemy, a part of the larger tradition of Taoism, centers on the tradition of body-spirit cultivation that developed through the Chinese understandings of medicine and the body. These Chinese traditions were developed into a system of energy practices. Chinese alchemy focuses mainly on the purification of one's spirit and body in the hopes of gaining immortality through the practice of Qigong and/or consumption and use of various concoctions known as alchemical medicines or elixirs, each of which having different purposes. Alchemical medicines were valued for two main reasons. First they granted transcendence and immortality and secondly they made it possible to summon benevolent spirits and expel demons. The alchemical practices outlined in Waidan or '<i>external alchemy</i>' and Neidan or '<i>internal alchemy</i>' are intended to increase life span or produce immortality amongst the people using these methods. According to J.C. Cooper's "<b><i>Chinese Alchemy: The Taoist Quest for Immortality,</i></b>" Taoism had two distinct parts, the classical Tao Chia, which was mystical and stemmed primarily from Laozi and Zhuangzi, and the more popular Tao Chiao, which was the popular, magical and alchemical side of Taoism. Cooper states that a common viewpoint is that "classical Taoism [<u><i>Daoism Daoism</i></u>] was original but was too austere and rarefied for the general populace... [<u><i>but but</i></u>] Tao Chiao fulfilled the day-to-day needs of the people."<br><br><center><div style="clear:both;"></div><p style="font-size:15px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">Also try this free pdf e-books:</p><a title="Howard Phillips Lovecraft" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft-1.html" >Howard Phillips Lovecraft</a> - <a title="The Alchemist" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1144033047" >The Alchemist</a><br><a title="Arthur Edward Waite" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Arthur-Edward-Waite/Arthur-Edward-Waite-1.html" >Arthur Edward Waite</a> - <a title="What Is Alchemy" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=110864094" >What Is Alchemy</a><br></center><br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div>Labels: <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2007/10/occult-philosophy-and-magick.html" >occult philosophy</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-books-of-occult-philosophy-book.html" >three books of occult philosophy pdf</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemy symbolism</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/enochian-language-of-edward-kelley.html" >enochian language</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/10/apollonius-of-tyana.html" >apollonius of tyana</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/10/israel-regardie-and-philosophers-stone.html" >israel regardie</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/08/emblema-xxi-of-michael-maier-1618.html" >michael maier</a> <a href="http://darkbooks.org/articles/Witchcraft-History.html" >witchcraft stores online</a> <a href="http://darkbooks.org/articles/Witchcraft-Magick.html" >witchcraft magic</a> <br></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-4644256860842355612011-10-08T23:57:00.000-07:002012-02-26T08:48:42.872-08:00Turba Philosophorum<div style="width:364px;margin: 7px auto;"><div style="float:left;width:80px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a></div><div style="float:left;width:78px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;margin-left:2px; overflow:hidden;"><a class="DiggThisButton DiggCompact"></a></div><div style="float:left;width:76px;height:30px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe width="76px" height="30px" style="width:76px;height:30px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/1/" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:60px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><div data-size="medium" class="g-plusone"></div></div><div style="float:left;width:46px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><div class="fb-like" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false"></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><center><div style="float:none;text-align:center;align:center;width: 76%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d909Qi8SCSc/TU_tPd9OgiI/AAAAAAAACKo/Ey-OguIoGBY/Turba%252520Philosophorum.jpg" border="0" alt="Turba Philosophorum Image" title="Turba Philosophorum" /></div></center><center><span style="font-size:16px;">The Turba Philosophorum, also known as Assembly of the Philosophers, is one of the oldest European alchemy texts, translated from the Arabic, like the Picatrix.

One of them claimed he was a magician from another Arab country, and even used a non-Jordanian accent," police spokesman Mohammed Khatib told AFP.<br/><br/>Because everyone knows that magicians have funny accents. Clearly these folks were organized and up on their 1960's occult movie lore. The con artists convinced the victim that he could multiply the money he spent once he had the gold from the magical extraction, and apparently he had a lot of money to spend.<br/><br/>During the past two years, he paid the three more than 1.2 million dollars, "<b><i>thinking that his money was going to be more than doubled after the alleged gold extraction,</i></b>" according to Khatib.<br/><br/>Of course, once the con artists had enough money they took it and ran - but didn't get very far.<br/><br/>"He complained to police after the suspects, who are currently being prosecuted, disappeared and stopped contacting him."<br/><br/>I suppose the more things change, the more they stay the same. Renaissance Europe was full of would-be alchemists looking for rich patrons whose money they could spend in the fruitless pursuit of gold production, and this is pretty much the same scam. I'll also point out that the boundlessness of human greed is what makes this sort of thing possible. Give me a million dollars in the Middle East and I could live comfortably for a very long time, but some people just aren't satisfied with that and jump at opportunities that from the outside obviously seem too good to be true.<br/><br/>There's no news yet on whether or not the alleged magician in the group had any magical training at all, but I'm guessing that it's doubtful unless of course he was casting glamours to convince victims to fund the group or something like that. Either way, con artists who exploit magick make all of us look bad and maybe some misfortune should be sent his way - that is, misfortune in addition to being stuck in a Jordanian prison for who knows how long.<br><br><center><div style="clear:both;"></div><p style="font-size:15px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">Also try this free pdf e-books:</p><a title="Dion Fortune" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/collection/Dion-Fortune.html" >Dion Fortune</a> - <a title="The Machinery Of The Mind" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1559605470" >The Machinery Of The Mind</a><br><a title="Howard Phillips Lovecraft" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft/Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft-1.html" >Howard Phillips Lovecraft</a> - <a title="The Alchemist" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1144033047" >The Alchemist</a><br></center></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-26736439522398082882011-07-17T18:56:00.000-07:002012-02-12T18:00:31.451-08:00Avicenna<div style="width:364px;margin: 7px auto;"><div style="float:left;width:80px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a></div><div style="float:left;width:78px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;margin-left:2px; overflow:hidden;"><a class="DiggThisButton DiggCompact"></a></div><div style="float:left;width:76px;height:30px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe width="76px" height="30px" style="width:76px;height:30px; overflow: hidden; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/1/" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:60px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><div data-size="medium" class="g-plusone"></div></div><div style="float:left;width:46px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><div class="fb-like" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false"></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 53%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-o9H7svt7B7s/TU_oWeCcq1I/AAAAAAAACEg/6m8AZhCEQu8/Avicenna.jpg" border="0" alt="Avicenna Image" title="Avicenna" /></div></span><span style="text-align:left;align:left;">Abu 'Ali al-usayn ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Sina, known as Abu Ali Sina or, more commonly, Ibn Sina or Pour Sina, but most commonly known in English by his Latinized name Avicenna, (<u><b>c. 980 - 1037</b></u>) was a polymath of Persian B) D.

" origin and the foremost physician and philosopher of his time. He was also an astronomer, chemist, geologist, Hafiz, Islamic psychologist, Islamic scholar, Islamic theologian, logician, paleontologist, mathematician, Maktab teacher, physicist, poet, and scientist. Ibn Sina studied medicine under a physician named Koushyar. He wrote almost 450 treatises on a wide range of subjects, of which around 240 have survived. In particular, 150 of his surviving treatises concentrate on philosophy and 40 of them concentrate on medicine. His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which was a standard medical text at many medieval universities. The Canon of Medicine was used as a text-book in the universities of Montpellier and Louvain as late as 1650. Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine provides a complete system of medicine according to the principles of Galen. George Sarton, an early author of the history of science, wrote in the Introduction to the History of Science: One of the most famous exponents of Muslim universalism and an eminent figure in Islamic learning was Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna (<u><b>981-1037</b></u>). For a thousand years he has retained his original renown as one of the greatest thinkers and medical scholars in history. His most important medical works are the Qanun (<u><b>Canon</b></u>) and a treatise on Cardiac drugs. The '<i>Qanun fi-l-Tibb</i>' is an immense encyclopedia of medicine. It contains some of the most illuminating thoughts pertaining to distinction of mediastinitis from pleurisy; contagious nature of phthisis; distribution of diseases by water and soil; careful description of skin troubles; of sexual diseases and perversions; of nervous ailments.<br><br><center><div style="clear:both;"></div><p style="font-size:15px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">Also try this free pdf e-books:</p><a title="Aleister Crowley" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Aleister-Crowley/Aleister-Crowley-1.html" >Aleister Crowley</a> - <a title="Alexandra" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=405608416" >Alexandra</a><br><a title="Aleister Crowley" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Aleister-Crowley/Aleister-Crowley-1.html" >Aleister Crowley</a> - <a title="Alice An Adultery" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1527096038" >Alice An Adultery</a><br></center><br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div>Labels: <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/john-dee-biography.html" >sir john dee</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemical symbol</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2007/12/magic-circle-of-rudolf-ii-alchemy-and.html" >magick circle</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/10/apollonius-of-tyana.html" >apollonius tyana</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemical symbol for gold</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/john-dee-biography.html" >john dee</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemical symbols</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/alchemical-symbols.html" >alchemic symbols</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/john-dee-biography.html" >sir john dee</a> <a href="http://darkbooks.org/articles/Witchcraft-Magic-Spells.html" >witchcraft wiccan spells</a> <a href="http://darkbooks.org/photos/Candle-Magic/Red-Candles-Wallpapers.html" >led candles</a> <br></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-30780602145184859042011-06-18T23:23:00.000-07:002012-03-10T08:19:42.664-08:00Magic In Artemis Fowl<div style="width:364px;margin: 7px auto;"><div style="float:left;width:80px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a></div><div style="float:left;width:78px;height:30px;padding-top:8px;margin-left:2px; overflow:hidden;"><a class="DiggThisButton DiggCompact"></a></div><div style="float:left;width:76px;height:30px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><iframe width="76px" height="30px" frameborder="0" border="0" style="width:76px; height:30px; overflow: hidden; margin:0px; padding:0px; border-style:none; border-width:0px;" src="http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/1/" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe></div><div style="float:left;width:60px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px;overflow:hidden;"><div data-size="medium" class="g-plusone"></div></div><div style="float:left;width:46px;height:30px;margin-left:2px;padding-top:8px; overflow:hidden;"><div class="fb-like" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false"></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div><span style="text-align:left;align:left;"><div style="float:left;text-align:left;align:left;width: 40%;margin:0px 20px 10px 0px; max-width:350px;"><img style="border-style:none; border-width:0; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:100%; max-width:350px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OknmbuWhO58/TU_gonbcOPI/AAAAAAAACC4/iAMkbddkkLE/Abu%252520Al%252520Salt.jpg" border="0" alt="Magic In Artemis Fowl Image" title="Magic In Artemis Fowl" /></div></span><span style="text-align:left;align:left;">Fairies are cool.Look at Sookie Stackhouse on the hit show "<b><i>True Blood.</i></b>" She may be a psychic waitress with a penchant for attracting vampires, but she's also a fairy.And then there's Tinkerbell - she's been rockin' it fairy-style ever since she turned up in J. M. Barrie's novel "<b><i>Peter and Wendy</i></b>" 100 years ago. Then there's the Nickelodeon series "<b><i>Winx Club,</i></b>" an animated show about fairies.Strap on your glitter wings and lace up your prettiest shoes - the World of Faeries Festival returns to Vasa Park in South Elgin. The hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Aug. 6 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 7.It's here you will find music, food and frivolity for fairy lovers and fantasy lovers, young and old, in Vasa Park along the Fox River. This family-friendly event is also a vendor village showcasing fairy and fantasy crafts. There will be hair braiding, body glitter, and jewelry and clothing vendors.Fest-goers are encouraged to dress to fit the fantasy them, and to leave their "<b><i>grown up</i></b>" at home, said found Gloria Yaeger of Crystal Lake. With her husband David, they founded the World of Faeries Festival in 2004, after traveling to the country's oldest fairy festival at Spoutwood Farm, Glen Rock, Pa.Shortly after that, the couple was bike riding around Vasa Park when they noticed a sign saying that the park was for rent."We decided to create our own Faerie Fest," she said. "The first year, we had 300 people show up. Last year, we had nearly 1,200. This year, we have 80 percent of our vendors come back. The families come back, and it's by word of mouth. They spread it to other families, and it grows bigger every year."This year's theme is a Celebration of the Elven Star. The Elven star, or faerie star, has seven points, and this is the festival's seventh year.She encourages everyone to dress up in their best fairy costumes. In the beginning, people were hesitant to dress up, but now most people come in costume, she said."It's nice to see that, people dressing up in costumes," she said. "It's gotten to be very festive. Everybody should have magic in their lives and be young at heart. We all need a little magic in our lives. And it's a beautiful old park next to the Fox River; it's a very magical setting."No costume? No problem. One vendor creates hand-made fairy wings.There will be Celtic music, folk music and a Native American drummer from New Mexico, to name a few of the entertainers."We always try to encourage new entertainers and fantasy artists," she said.There will be a storyteller, a living statue, French braid hair braiding by Twisted Sisters, raptors, bubble juggler Geoff Akins and the group Swords of Valor."Swords of Valor are a very popular traveling Renaissance group," she said. "It is un-choreographed (<u><b>swordplay</b></u>) with real swords."They bring along soft "<b><i>Q-Tip</i></b>"-like swords for kids to spar with.Another highlight of the festival is the fairy tea parties. There are four or five each day for little girls, plus mother-daughter tea parties, since "moms wanted to get in on the act, too."Yaeger didn't expect the festival to grow into what it's become, although she hoped it would."I think it's terrific. I'm pleasantly pleased it's become so popular," she said. "Fairies are not a fad. Magic has always been around. It has a life of its own that will continue. A little magic in your life goes a long ways. It helps you stay young. We're all kids at heart."ORIGINAL ARTICLE<br><br><center><div style="clear:both;"></div><p style="font-size:15px;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;">Also try this free pdf e-books:</p><a title="Aleister Crowley" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/articles/Aleister-Crowley.html" >Aleister Crowley</a> - <a title="Magick In Theory And Practice" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=229196867" >Magick In Theory And Practice</a><br><a title="Naomi Janowitz" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=581676101" >Naomi Janowitz</a> - <a title="Magic In The Roman World" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=581676101" >Magic In The Roman World</a><br><a title="Samael Aun Weor" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1690884446" >Samael Aun Weor</a> - <a title="Magic Runes" target="_blank" href="http://darkbooks.org/pp.php?v=1690884446" >Magic Runes</a><br></center><br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div>Labels: <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/10/alchemical-symbol.html" >alchemical symbol for gold</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/john-dee-biography.html" >john dees</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/10/apollonius-of-tyana.html" >apollonius of tyana</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2007/12/magic-circle-of-rudolf-ii-alchemy-and.html" >magick circle</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2008/11/hermes-trismegistus.html" >hermes trismegistus books</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/minerals-and-gems-in-indian-alchemy_30.html" >minerals and gems</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2010/09/john-dee-biography.html" >john dee enochian</a> <a href="http://alchemy-and-alchemists.blogspot.com/2009/02/esoteric-symbols.html" >esoteric symbols</a> <a href="http://darkbooks.org/collection/category-gods-and-goddesses.html" >greek gods and goddesses book</a> <a href="http://darkbooks.org/articles/Love-Potions.html" >homemade love potions</a> <br></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186261092980823686.post-87443223902037935422011-06-14T02:58:00.000-07:002011-06-23T06:06:53.673-07:00Platonism And Alchemy Part 7<div style="width:100%;align:center;"><center><h2>Platonism And Alchemy Part 7</h2><object width="450px" height="415px"><param name="video" value="http://flv.video.yandex.ru/lite/dark-books/kkk4gt1pit.2724/"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="scale" value="noscale"/><embed src="http://flv.video.yandex.ru/lite/dark-books/kkk4gt1pit.2724/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450px" height="415px" allowFullScreen="true" scale="noscale"/></object></center></div><div style="align:center;width:100%;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--

It is patently an open sesame to one level of interpretation. The Occult Review, now defunct, published a critical review by Archibald Cockren who took me rather severely to task for asserting that alchemical texts should be interpreted solely in terms of psychological and mystical terms. He himself, I subsequently discovered, had written a book Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored. Of course I immediately procured a copy. Since I was peeved by his review, I did not feel that his book had very much to offer—so I dismissed both offhand. I was about to write the editor of The Occult Review a scorching letter, but reason intervened so that fortunately it never got written.<br/><br/>The opportunity is rarely given to an author in his lifetime “to eat crow” and to enjoy it. This lot, it pleases me to say, is mine—after thirty years. Not that I would significantly change much of what I wrote then. I admitted that I had not “proceeded to the praxis” but I felt then and still do that a mystical and psychological interpretation of some alchemical texts was legitimate. There is unequivocally this aspect of the subject. Certainly Jacob Boehme and Henry Khunrath, for example, cannot be interpreted except in these terms.<br/><br/>The Philosophers Stone with these preliminary comments, should answer a wide-felt need which has called forth this new edition.
