Winter 2020 Seminar - This goal will allow me to host a 2020/1 winter seminar on a topic set by my patrons and enjoyed by you! My goal is to provide a reader, discussion group, and 1.5 hour long sessions over the course of 4-5 weeks deeply exploring a text or topic in Western Western Esotericism in addition to my weekly content. This will also support my longer term goal of teaching a university level Introduction to Western Esotericism course next summer! Next Summer Class - My goal here is to get enough support to teach a university level Introduction to Western Esotericism and Hermetic Philosophy course next summer spanning an entire academic semester starting in May and ending in August. We could meet twice a week for lectures and discussion. I would provide a pdf reader for the class along with discussions and office hours. It would be a fully online course with the sessions available to the public as well - a real attempt in totally open, crowdfunded education on one of the most difficult to find fields in academia.

Perhaps the greatest contribution of Alchemy to a modern day student is to serve as evidence of the legitimacy and actuality of the art. A kind of "Where There's Smoke There's Fire" analogy at least that has been my experience. The huge collection of unintelligible kaleidoscopes of confounding images form an aggregate that can speak to your soul and awaken it.

This makes me wish I had gone beyond high school chemistry. You can see the path from the Summer Perfectionais to modern chemistry. Substances do have 3 states, in which their molecules (corpuscles?) are more or less dense: solid, liquid, gaseous. I wonder why they latched onto mercury as being so critical, though. Sulphuric compounds are so common and modernly used, sulfates and sulfides, etc. I feel like they were chasing the wrong tail by going after mercury. You have certainly given me a reason to exist that may stave off dementia as I get older. The pursuit of knowledge and art for its own sake, the quest for paths not taken, even to imagine a world in which Nature worked the way they thought it should…. It could be research that inform my future art or maybe even writings. And this is why I will end up selling my own work, so I can support your work, to inspire my work, to sell to fund your work which will inspire mine….

Mercury is vital in the production of gold. Mercury added to gold ore will form an amalgamation which then can be heated to vaporize the mercury and leave behind the gold. Subsequent heating would lead to a more pure metal. This is likely why they latched onto the idea as the transmutation of base metals into noble metals was a goal of the alchemic sciences. In the modern day the terms "base" and "noble" still exist in chemistry, but don't refer to the same concepts. Interestingly, of the 12 alchemical changes of state, 11 have been achieved by modern chemistry. This includes transmutation, lead to gold, by way of nuclear physics and particle accelerators. The final Magnum Opus, which is projection, eludes us, though there exist plenty of legends surrounding it. Hope that helps!

Mercury also just stands out while being fairly easily accessible. Like it defies our intuition by being a metal that is liquid at room temperature, that just doesn't feel like it should happen. It also looks like silver and is incredibly reflective. For all of those reasons it's easy to understand why people across cultures have latched on to it. But yeah it is very ironic that they ignored what ended up being one of the most useful chemicals, but of course alchemy has roots from long before gunpowder was created so no one had any idea what potential sulfur had. Also I'd just like to say that it's never too late to learn a science like chemistry and it's more accessible than it has ever been. There are a ton of great chemistry channels, I'd personally recommend NileRed if you want to see some cool examples of chemical synthesis like creating cherry soda from plastic gloves.

I stumbled upon your channel yesterday. I am watching this episode - on 11 February! Best regards from the Netherlands: Brill country. Happy World Alchemy Day!

Thanks for your service. 🙏🏼 I enjoyed the content and will continue to study.

I found this channel after getting Jung’s ”Mysterium coniunctionis” which is pretty hard to decipher and I’m only at the beginning of the book. However, it’s good to understand historically speaking what we now understand what the alchemists did and what they were trying to convey with their texts, so that I can separate out where the alchemists intention and what Jung projected onto that. Which is not to say Jung’s writings would not contain useful information on processes of the psyche, you just have to put them into the right perspective.

Thank you for this very wise and detailed synopsis of how to begin the Great Work.

Crazy how he can remember all this information. Smart guy!

Great video! Thank you! I would love to see a video on the Golden Chain of Homer. It is a text very close to my heart. And very unusual also. As one commentator wrote, "Instead it is an alchemical text of the absolute rarest kind ... a description of the alchemical machinery of reality. It describes how reality comes into existence, how it develops, how it is maintained, and how it folds back into the source. From this point of view the Golden Chain does something virtually no other alchemical text does, it marries allegorical qabalism with empirical alchemical science."

This is so clear, informative, orienting and hilarious 😂

Robert Shrewsbury Feb. 2021 I wrote this in such a way that one does not have to be a Scientist (with a degree) in order to understand it. Metallurgy and Alchemy Brief. What might be said about where element-particles come from, how they are made and if they can be altered? From the internet...“The entire variety of the elements and isotopes found in today's universe were created by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, stellar nucleosynthesis, supernova nucleosynthesis, and by nucleosynthesis in exotic events such as neutron star collisions.” An Alchemy definition, from the internet: “The medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir. (Includes) occult sciences, such as alchemy and astrology." These statements I found on the web under “Nucleosynthesis” and it made me think a bit on them. After my years of researching and experiments, I’d agree The “Big Bang” belief has some merit to it, however the amount of heat, pressure and radiation, I found works with far less than what is postulated or theorized and I have done tests to evidence this many times. Observing a natural form, a Volcano, exploding with heat and pressure, also produces a little radiation. The seeds of future metals, etc. are created in the pressure and heat. Sometimes, when it comes from deep enough in the Earth (where Potassium 40 is), it has even more radiation, because Potassium-40 is radioactive. Other times, there is Uranium or Thorium in the Earth where a Volcano explodes and this further ensures Nucleosynthesis from the combined materials, heat and pressure. In that type then, so many, many elements are spontaneously created, like platinum group metals, copper, zinc, silver, gold, rare-earth metals, etc. In short, Nucleosynthesis is Nature’s form of Alchemy on earth. This Nucleosynthesis can also be produced artificially in a Laboratory, a form of Alchemy and I have done this at least a hundred times with success and no failures. A mini-explosion produces radiation as well as a rifle or cannon shot out of the barrel of a weapon, but it is minor. However (powdered) Metal, even Iron placed in a container with the Proper Chemicals and a lid on it (like a bomb) and then heated to its ignition or flash-point, will spontaneously (explode). A mini “Big Bang”, it then changes the isotope configuration and creates multiple stable elements, including P.G.M’s, Au and Ag. This is Alchemy and nothing mystic about it. During WW2 the Germans were working on this in a similar way as I did. These tests have to be done with caution, sensibility and knowledge so that no one gets injured or other problems created. Cordially, Robert Shrewsbury robertshrewsbury13@gmail.com

Great video. Really enjoying your channel, thanks a lot for your hard work and sharing what is clearly the result of years of careful study of the subjects.

I would particularly point to his works such as "Alchemical Studies" and "Mysterium Coniunctionis".
