    Alchemical Theory The One Thing (or the Subtle Ether) Space, whether interplanetary, inner matter, or inter-organic, is filled with a subtle presence emanating from the One Thing of the universe. Later alchemists called it, as did the ancients, the subtle Ether. This primordial fluid or fabric of space pervades everything and all matter. Metal, mineral, tree, plant, animal, man; each is charged with the Ether in varying degrees. All life on the planet is charged in like manner; a world is built up in this fluid and move through a sea of it. Alchemical Ether, which some Hermeticists call the Astral Light, determines the constitution of bodies. Hardness and softness, solidity and liquidity, all depend on the relative proportion of ethereal and ponderable matter of which they me composed. The arbitrary division and classification of physical science, the whole range of physical phenomena, proceeds from the primary Ether, for science has reduced matter as we know it to nothing but Ether, which, although not solid matter, is still matter, the First Matter of the alchemists. When most of us speak of matter, of course, we usually visualize solid substance, but it has been proved by that matter is not actually solid, but merely a stress, a strain in the etheric field of time and space. The atom and the electrons and protons of which it is composed, all move in a sea of Ether, so, that in accordance with this theory of alchemy, the very air we breathe, the very bodies we inhabit, all things most likewise be moving in this sea of Ether, the parent element from which all manifestation has come.

SPLENDOR SOLIS ALCHEMICAL TREATISES OF SOLOMON TRISMOSIN ADEPT AND TEACHER OF PARACELSUS Including 22 Allegorical Pictures Reproduced from the Original Paintings in the Unique Manuscript on Vellum, dated 1582, in the British Museum. With Introduction, Elucidation of the Paintings, aiding the Interpretation of their Occult meaning, Trismosin's Auto- biographical Account of his Travels in Search of the Philoso- pher's Stone, A SUMMARY OF HIS ALCHEMICAL PROCESS CALLED " THE RED LION," and EXPLANATORY NOTES BY J.

MY REVERED TEACHER AND FRIEND I DEDICATE THIS BOOK IN WHICH HE WAS DEEPLY INTERESTED J.K. INTRODUCTORY. HEN in the period of the Renaissance, men's m i n d s W were waking from the long sleep of mediaeval darkness, SOLOMON TRISMOSIN, one of the less known Adepts of Alchemy, went forth in search of that secret knowledge, the possession of which leads to Alchemical Adeptship. His romantic Wanderings in Quest of the Philosopher's Stone, he has himself described, and if he declares to have reached that Eldorado of Hermetic Knowledge wherein is found the prized Philosopher's Stone, although we may feel inclined to doubt his word, we are, nevertheless not in a position to entirely dispute his statement. For since the discovery of radioactive substances chemical theory has vastly changed. The very Elementality of the chemical Elements is questioned, and the alchemical idea, that Metals can be decomposed into three ultimate principles : SALT, MERCURY, and SULPHUR, may not be so absurd after all.

The Splendor Solis codex dated 1582 and housed in the British Library, London, is the most beautiful treatise on alchemy ever made. The imagination and lyricism of its truly marvellous illustrations are awe-inspiring even to those not familiar with this subject. This sumptuously illustrated treatise is attributed to Salomon Trismosin, possibly a pen name of Ulrich Poysel, the master of the legendary Paracelsus. The secrets of kabba- lah, astrology and alchemic symbolism are revealed on 22 folios bearing full-page illus- trations with a wealth of colour and almost Baroque profusion of detail. This manuscript features 22 large paintings surrounded by floral or animal motifs belonging to the North-European style of Renaissance miniature. Like the context and the contents of book itself, all the illustrations are impenetrable and difficult to unders- tand. Particularly noteworthy are the now famous Glaskolben or glass flasks depicted in a lavish painting in the centre, surrounded by typical town and country scenes of late medieval Germany beneath a celestial image of a pagan god that seems to endow the image as a whole with unity and meaning.

  • Evelyn De Morgan's Female Alchemist in a Figurehead for the Female Artist
    Evelyn De Morgan’s Female Alchemist in The Love Potion: A Figurehead for the Female Artist Gannon __________________________________________________________________________________ Evelyn De Morgan’s Female Alchemist in The Love Potion: A Figurehead for the Female Artist Corinna Gannon Goethe University, Frankfurt Evelyn De Morgan’s enigmatic Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist allegories are informed by multiple artistic movements.1 They have been interpreted against a feminist backdrop due to her status as a female artist in Victorian and Edwardian England and her personal engagement with women’s rights. They have also been studied as a pacifist response to the major horror of her time, war, and in the context of spiritualism, which had the most profound impact on her visual language and will provide the starting point for this essay’s argument.2 She and her husband, William De Morgan, the famous Arts-and-Crafts 1 Her paintings oscillate between late Pre-Raphaelitism, late Romanticism, Victorian Classicism, Aesthesticism, Decadence, and Symbolism.

  • The Alchemy in Homeopathy
    The Alchemy in Homoeopathy by Whitall N. Perry Source: Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 16, No. 1 & 2 (Winter-Spring, 1984). © World Wisdom, Inc. www.studiesincomparativereligion.com Then of the venome handled thus a medicine I did make; Which venome kills and saveth such as venome chance to take. Glory be to him the graunter of such secret wayes, Dominion, and Honour, both with Worship, and with Prayse. George Ripley O poison, which is not cured save by poison! St. Augustine Homoeopathy—as distinguished from allopathy—is a system of medical treatment through minute doses of substances which cause in healthy people the same symptoms as those produced by the disease in question. In contrast to “ordinary” medicine which aims at curing the outward symptoms, it aims at healing the disequilibriums in the “vital” structure which permit entrance of the disease in the first place. There is a freely confessed ignorance, with both practitioners and patients who have verified and experienced the efficacy of homoeopathic healing, as to exactly why or how it works. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) himself, the German founder of what has henceforth been termed the homoeopathic system of medicine, said: “It matters little what may be the scientific explanation of how it takes place; and I do not attach much importance to the attempts made to explain it” (Organon of Medicine, 5th & 6th Ed., New Delhi, n.d., Sec. 28). Harris L. Coulter, one of America’s foremost lay exponents of homoeopathy, uses the established term empirical medicine to describe the Hippocratic system of prognosis followed in homoeopathic practice; and indeed, Hahnemann developed his therapeutic knowledge of drugs through the experimental procedure of testing their properties by so-called “provings” on healthy persons.
