3. The Alchemist spoke (from an old record). Alchem Lab Bulls (15) Q2 1963. [http://www.spagyria.com/alb.zip].
"The following has been re-recorded from an old worn phonograph record of which only two were ever made. The master and one copy. Both are old and worn and could only be made audible again on a modern powerful machine. Audibly enough to be transcribed on a soundtrack and herewith partly made public for the first time. Perhaps two or three more playings would erase the last traces of sound. It will give you an inside of the life, thinking and habitation of an alchemist, not of the Middle Ages but of our own present century". [#ABEL2].

"NOTES ON SOURCES: Aphorismi seu Circulus Majus et Circulus Minus or the Lesser Circulation is from an unknown but obvious Master; The many references to Frater Albertus come from the magazines - Parachemica, Parachemy, Essentia, and his books Alchemist's handbook and Alchemist of the Rocky Mountains; Notes on the Rudolf Glauber method that are in parenthesis are by professor Michael Junius; Grossman is a German author in the Herbal work; The Spagyric Technique by Robert Bartlett comes from Essentia; An attempt at the Circulatum Minus is also from a student's article in Essentia; The Four Elements by Frater K.H. comes from Parachemy Fall '77' vol.5, no. 4.". [#ABEL2].
9. Kollerstrom, Nick. Golden moments. Astrology Q . [http://www.alchemywebsite.com/golden_m.html].
"This is a shortened version of an article published in the UK Astrology Quarterly, and reprinted several times. It collects moments when alchemists claim to have made gold, and analyses these 'astrologically' in terms of the celestial aspects then present. They were found to have remarkable features in common. Perhaps a reader will locate more such dates?". [#ABEL2].

"The Bembine tablet, or the Mensa Isiaca is a bronze tablet with silver and enamel inlay, probably of 1st Century Roman origin. Although it depicts Egyptian themes, it is not Egyptian in origin. In the 17th century, Athanasius Kircher attempted to interpret it as a key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics, unsuccessfully. Occultists have long sought esoteric meaning in the tablet: Westcott, Eliphas Levi, and Manly P. Hall all believed that it was the key to the Tarot. The tablet is currently on display in the Museum of Antiquities in Turin". [#ABEL2].

Entry page to Introduction and urls for 13 documents. "The Corpus Hermeticum are the core documents of the Hermetic tradition. Dating from early in the Christian era, they were mistakenly dated to a much earlier period by Church officials (and everyone else) up until the 15th century. Because of this, they were allowed to survive and we seen as an early precursor to what was to be Christianity. We know today that they were, in fact, from the early Christian era, and came out of the turbulent religious seas of Hellenic Egypt.
These are all taken from Mead's translations, which are in the public domain at this point". [#ABEL2].

21. Roy. Hermetic concepts. [http://www.gangleri.nl/articles/53/hermetic-concepts]. Access date: 2 May 2008.
"Hermetism is becoming more and more popular. But how many people will be able to say much about what are the ideas that can be found within the Hermetic texts? I decided to take a few subjects and work them out with quotes from different texts. These texts are not by one author or one group of authors, so they may contradict eachother. This does not matter, because the underlying philosophy is always the same. For this comparison of concepts I used the Corpus Hermeticum, the Asclepius, the Hermetic texts from the Nag Hammadi library, the Stobaeus and Tertulianus fragments and De Castigatione Animae. For more information about Hermetic texts see my article on this subject. Of most the texts I have Dutch translations, and of almost all I also have English translations. For the quotes I mostly used the very literal translation of Walter Scott (1855-1925), sometimes I prefered my Dutch translations by Gilles Quispel and Roelof van den Broek (Q/VdB in the text)".

How would the Emerald Tablet read if it were written today? First of all, we would have to gear it toward an audience without much time for any background philosophizing, and of course, we would be competing with television for their attention. Then, we would have to at least acknowledge the "advances" made in scientific knowledge. Contemporary science tells us that the universe is made up of energy, matter, and light. Those would be what the alchemists called Sulfur, Salt, and Mercury, respectively. According to Einsteins equation (E=mc2), energy and matter can be transformed into one another through the constant of light. In alchemy, Sulfur and Salt are transformed into one another through the intermediary of Mercury. It looks like, if that little "c" in Einsteins equation really stood for "consciousness" instead of "light," there would be no difference at all between physics and alchemy. Let us assume that consciousness is light, after all. In that case, an Emerald Tablet for the 21st Century would look something like this:. [#ABEL2].

"An Arabic translation of a text entitled "Keys of Wisdom," by the famous fourth century alchemist Zosimos, has been found in an Alchemy book written by a twelveth century Kurd, named Al-Tughra'i. The book starts with a discussion of the "four elements" (fire, air, water, and earth) and the "four natures" (hot, cold, moist, and dry), and continues with their quantitative estimation. This is followed by a determination of their ratios, which is needed to moderate the properties of metals and to form the elixirs used in transmutation. Although today's chemists disagree with most of these concepts, they must marvel at some of the ideas found in the present text. For example, Zosimos correctly understood the relationship between heat and movement, and in a remarkable statement he explains why, during distillation, vapors rise against gravity, by saying: "Motion is due to heat for without heat there would be no motion." This statement is true today and is taught in most thermodynamics text books. Alchemists also distinguished between distillation, and "smoking" (pyrolysis), and recognized the importance of the first in purification. Furthermore, they correctly believed that the physical properties of substances are directly related to their chemical composition and developed a highly sophisticated system to characterize compounds by means of nine tastes, three smells, and a multitude of colors".

94. The Allegory of Merlin. [http://www.alchemywebsite.com/merlin.html]. Access date: 17 Jun 2004.
"In the alchemical tradition we find a number of allegories which involve the transformation of a King, the Duenech and Merlini allegories being among the earliest. I recently uncovered an English translation of the Allegory of Merlin in a 17th century manuscript in the British Library (MS Sloane 3506, f.74-75), which sparked off my interest in the piece so I have decided to include it here. The allegory (minus the Merlin' title) exists in a 14-15th century manuscript in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris (MS. Lat. 14005), and it was published as 'Merlini-Allegoria, profundissimum Philosophici Lapidis Arcanum perfecte continens', in the alchemical compendium Artis Auriferiae, I, 420-424, Basel, 1593). The association with the Celtic Merlin' figure is obscure and there are no internal references (nor indeed any links with the Merlin mythos), which might explain why this name is associated with the allegory. It shows the death and resurrection of the King. The King drinks a special water which kills him, and through drying off this water a transmutation occurs and the King is brought back to life in a more energetic form. This allegory has obvious links with the Duenech allegory (which was published in the vast alchemical compendium, Theatrum Chemicum III, p.756-757, Ursel, 1602).". [#ABEL2].

Although lengthy, Adam McLean's introduction to this page is especially interesting. "Elsewhere on this site I have included a transcription of an admission of membership into a Rosicrucian Society organised from London by Dr Sigismund Bacstrom. Bacstrom had been initiated into a Rosicrucian society by the Comte de Chazal on the Island of Mauritius in 1791. The Comte de Chazal was connected with the French stream of Rosicrucianism probably linking back to the Comte de St Germain. The text of the admission of membership was taken from the copy made by a Scotsman, Alexander Tilloch, contained in the Ferguson collection, and it has appended to it the following most interesting section of Rosicrucian Aphorisms and Process, which I transcribe in its entirety. This process seems of great value as it is in the tradition of earlier alchemical texts, concealing its prima materia and yet explaining all the subsequent stages in great detail, while using the exact chemical terminology of the 18th century. Thus, for example, it has precise measurements of temperature for the stages of the process, using Fahrenheit's thermometer, and precise measurements of quantities. Such quantitative details are often missing in early alchemical texts. It also uses a great deal of Hebrew nomenclature and parallels with the creation story in Genesis. It is remarkable that this work, written at the end of the 18th century, should remain in the same archetypal mold as works of some three centuries earlier, and this I believe shows us the inner integrity of this alchemical process of the red and the white ttones through the nigredo, putrefaction and peacock's tail stages, with the final potentisation through multiplication of the tincture. This process, a source of alchemical inspiration for half a millenium and more, contains mysteries that have still to be revealed and I hope that this further piece of material might help to make this process more clear."

The earliest version, considered to be that now in the Kupferstichkabinett in the Prussian State Museum in Berlin, is dated 1532-35, and was made in the form of a medieval manuscript and illuminated on vellum, with decorative borders like a book of hours, beautifully painted and heightened with gold. The later copies in London, Kassel, Paris and Nuremberg are equally fine.
The work itself consists of a sequence of 22 elaborate images, set in ornamental borders and niches. The symbolic process shows the classical alchemical death and rebirth of the king, and incorporates a series of seven flasks, each associated with one of the planets. Within the flasks a process is shown involving the transformation of bird and animal symbols into the Queen and King, the white and the red tincture. This echoes the Pretiosissimum Donum Dei sequence which is probably earlier, dating from the 15th century. Although the style of the Splendor Solis illuminations suggest an earlier date, they are quite clearly of the 16th century. The following images were provided by Andre Le Sage". [#ABEL2].

22 illuminated full-colour plates of the Splendor Solis, and 51 full-colour illustrations. "This book is a striking and unique contribution to the resurgence of interest in alchemy for its way of representing the phenomenology of creative experience. Transformation of the Psyche is organized around 22 illuminated paintings from the early Renaissance alchemical manuscript the Splendor Solis, and is further illustrated by over 50 colour figures. The images of the Splendor Solis are possibly the most beautiful and evocative alchemical paintings to be found anywhere, and they are widely known to students of alchemy. Jung reproduced several Splendor Solis images in his works, yet prior to this book no one has explored the symbolism of the paintings as a series in relation to the process of depth psychological transformation. This book is the first scholarly study of the paintings in their entirety, and of the mythological and historical allusions contained within the images. Transformation of the Psyche does not simply explain or analyze the pictures, but invites the reader to participate in the creative and transforming process evoked by these images. Transformation of the Psyche is a truly unique book that will be of immense value and interest to analysts and psychotherapists, as well as scholars of mediaeval and renaissance intellectual history and students of spiritual disciplines. Contents: Introduction: Alchemy and Modern Depth Psychology. The Ancient Roots of Alchemy. Alchemy in Classical Greece and Post-Classical Alexandria. Arabic Alchemy. Alchemy in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Paracelsus and the Nature of the Soul. The Splendor Solis. The First Series (11 plates): A Sick Sun and a Healthy Sun. Setting out on a Journey.

"The aim of this article is to explore the unresearched body of manuscript texts on alchemy in medieval English (fifteenth century). More specifically, it is concerned with texts that are commonly attributed to the famous medieval scholar Albertus Magnus. Taking as its starting point the work done by Pearl Kibre on Latin alchemical writings attributed to Albertus, the article shows that the English manuscript texts (some thirty) are all related to one text in the Latin corpus, the Semita recta. (Kibre lists about thirty texts in Latin.) However, the English texts display varying affinities to the Semita recta: there are literal translations as well as major adaptations, and there are texts that appear to exploit the authority of the Semita recta for advancing completely unrelated discussions. It is also evident that the early English translators and redactors of alchemical texts were particularly interested in practical aspects of alchemy: many of the texts exhibit an emphasis on practical details, whereas the theoretical parts have been excised. Furthermore, the article demonstrates that although the English manuscripts derive from a pseudo-Albertan text, most of them do not contain an overt attribution to Albertus. It is thus unclear whether Albertus's renown as an alchemist played a significant part in the circulation of the texts in a vernacular context.". [*].

A scanned, rather than a transcribed edition. Portal page to remainder of images. "Note: Book 1 is presented in full; also included are the illustrations and associated text for Books 2 through 6." "John French (1616?-1657) was an English physician who served as an army doctor. In addition to The Art of Distillation, he published a book on the mineral waters at the Yorkshire spa and a translation of Michael Sendivogius' alchemical text, A new light of alchymie (1650). He may also be the editor, "J.F.," of a 1650 translation of The Divine Pymander of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus, a hermetic text of interest to alchemists. The Art of Distillation is representative of English chemistry of this period. It has been suggested that French was a follower of a Paracelsian school of chemistry -- one which was skeptical of alchemical traditions and more intent on seeking medical uses for chemical compounds".

The introduction to the transcription of Newton's manuscript Of Natures obvious laws & processes in vegetation. "Usually called Of Natures obvious laws & processes in vegetation after the first words in the text, the Dibner Collection MS. 1031B is an eleven-page tract representing Newton's attempt to provide a synopsis of his early alchemical reading, and to come up with what is, essentially, a "theory of everything," namely a physical theory that unifies and accounts for all known natural phenomena. The English text is followed in the manuscript by a short text in Latin, written upside-down and from the other end of the fascicle. A distinct treatise, the Latin section of the text begins with the phrase "Humores minerales continuo decidunt," and is possibly a preliminary and fragmentary working out of the ideas that Newton would develop further in the English part of the manuscript.
6 ff. The folation is the same as that used by B.J.T. Dobbs, in which each half of the three folded sheets is treated as a separate folio. The manuscript consists of three folded sheets ordered consecutively, the first sheet containing fols. 1-2, the second 3-4, and the third 5-6. The first 4 fols. (sheets 1 and 2) contain a consistent pattern of wormholes that are not present in fols. 5 and 6 (sheet 3). The third folded sheet contains the Latin section of the MS., which begins upsidedown on 6v and continues up from the bottom on 6r, where it meets the English text coming down.. [#ABEL2].

"This is, to my knowledge, the first English translation of the Mirror of the Philosophers from the original German as published in the Aurei Velleris (1708). I have not translated the entire work, which includes what we might call "glosses" on the illustrations and captions by traditional pseudonymous alchemical authors like Arnoldus, Hermes, and Thomas Aquinas. Rather, presented here are the original illustrations and captions in the series. There are numerous versions of this alchemical series, including one in the British Library, British Library MS. Harley 6453, which is transcribed and available online via Adam McLeans Alchemy Library. Other versions of this work are known as the Pretiosissimum Donum Dei, or "Most Precious Gift of God," and it would appear that the English version in the British Library is a rough translation of the captions from the German, albeit with almost entirely different glosses. I suggest this likelihood because of certain minor translation errorsthe original German caption to illustration eight refers in fact to the "Dark Ascent," which in the English version becomes "The Dark House." Such a change almost certainly came about due to translation from the German. This is a classic alchemical text, including not only enigmatic text, but a widely known series of illustrations as well, and as such is an excellent example of the ways that alchemists sought to convey their art" - Arthur Versluis.

"This week I got Adam Maclean's translation of the first book of "The book of Distillation" by Heironymous Braunschweig. He was based in Strasbourg, born around 1450 and died around 1512. Therefore, this book is definitely authentic for the end of the Wars of the Roses, and undoubtedly contains much that was commonplace before that time. However what makes it doubly interesting is that the book was in fact in three parts. The first part, which I now have, concerns the apparatus. The last two parts are about plants to be used as medicines and how to prepare and distill them, and the same for the various herbs that were in use at the period. These last two parts were not translated and re-printed by Maclean". [#ABEL2].

"Johann Heinrich Cohausen (16651750) was a physician and well-known author in the Germanies, France, and England. He was best known for medical satire such as the Pica Nasi, a Latin parody on snuff in which Apollo ordered Mercury to confiscate the noses of snuff-takers. When the satyrs returned them, the desperate victims grabbed the wrong noses and were unrecognizable. The subject of this article however is Cohausen's last and most famous medical satire, his Hermippus redivivus (1742), a treatise on the prolongation of life. Studies of Cohausen and the Hermippus have been largely antiquarian; the only scholarly works are a French dissertation concerning his medical biography done in 1900 and a short German bibliographic study. Because Cohausen has been primarily known for medical satire, his large number of serious treatises on iatrochemistry and medicine, which served as the basis for his more humorous works, have been largely unexamined. This paper will thus demonstrate that Cohausen's Hermippus and its comedic presentation of longevity had a profound reliance on earlier scholarly works of his that analysed the theories of the seventeenth-century chymist and physician Jean Baptiste van Helmont (15771634). In particular, Cohausen utilized van Helmont's belief that volatile salts (salts that had an odour or that decomposed readily on heating) composed the vital spirit or the breath of both animals and plants; it was these volatile salts in the breath, more prevalent in the young, which Cohausen argued would extend life's duration. Cohausen's ideas in the Hermippus were also influenced by Sanctorius' (15611636) studies of ambient air and bodily secretions, and to a lesser degree by the Leiden physician Hermann Boerhaave (16681738)".

"Dionysius Andreas Freher (1649-1728) was a German mystical writer who lived in London most of his life. He wrote an extended commentary, in many manuscript volumes and amounting to thousands of pages, on the writings and mystical ideas of Jacob Boehme (1575-1624). Boehme's mysticism incorporated a number of alchemical ideas and it is not surprising that Freher sought to find parallels between alchemical philosophy and his mysticism".

"This extract is taken from the English translation by Christopher Packe of The Works... of Johann Rudolph Glauber printed in London in 1689. Although historians often portray Glauber as a proto-scientific chemist (he is credited with the identification of Glauber's Salt now known as Sodium Sulphate), Glauber worked extensively with alchemical ideas as well as developing laboratory techniques for distillation and control of furnaces. This extract illustrates very well Glauber's reworking of the classic sequence of colour changes in the process of transmutation. - A. McLean". [#ABEL2].

A Latin version was issued at Frankfurt in 1762, and further German editions followed. In the late eighteenth century Sigismund Bacstrom made a rather poor translation of the work into English. Part of this was published in the Theosophical Society Journal 'Lucifer' in 1891. A number of manuscript copies of this translation have survived. Although the translation is more a summary than an exact translation of the original, it is an important late work on alchemy, so I have decided to include this translation here, despite its imperfections.

Introductory page linking to transcriptions and tranlsations of the emblems. "Michael Maier's alchemical emblem book Atalanta fugiens was first published in Latin in 1617. It was a most amazing book as it incorporated 50 emblems with epigrams and a discourse, but extended the concept of an emblem book by incorporating 50 pieces of music the 'fugues' or canons. In this sense it was an early example of multimedia.
An English translation exists in the British Library MS. Sloane 3645. Clay Holden was kind enough to allow his transcription of emblems 1 to 10, and Hereward Tilton has transcribed 11 to 34, and Peter Branwin has completed the work by transcribing 35 to 50. Peter Branwin is currently working on a new translation of the discourses from the original Latin. [There is another English translation in Mellon MS. 48 at Yale in the USA.]". [#ABEL2].

Canseliet and, I guess (but opinions could differ on this point !) by Fulcanelli. The first group concerns the "liquation", i.e. the preliminary purification of the antimony ore (stibinite). The second series shows the Separation. Except for the ore which came from Bolivia, we worked with commercial products coming from a local chemical dealer.". [#ABEL2].

We then hope that this will present a valuable addition to the presently available selection of material on alchemy in the English language. Magaphon was the pseudonym of Pierre Dujols, one of the greatest French erudites around the beginning of the XXth century. He belonged to the circle around Fulcanelli. The Mutus Liber was first published at La Rochelle in 1677. The author's name was given as Altus, a pseudonym.The Mutus Liber also occurs in Manget's Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa of 1707.

Translated by: Ivan Cordet. Typography by: Hans Nintzel. "Translator's note. The man known as Cyliani, of whom little is known personally, wrote the present volume in 1831 and had it published the year after. Its main interest lies in the fact that he influenced a school of French alchemysts who based their work on his findings, the first of these was G. F. Tiffereau who, brought a piece of gold from Mexico, which he claimed to have manufactured by the art. Tiffereau spent the years from 1847 to 1891 trying to persuade french scientists to
take his work seriously, but only succeeded in stimulating the alchemysts such as Jollivet-Castelot and others. He complained that the sun in France was not as suitable to the work as that of Mexico.

"The Roman de la Rose is one of the great works of 13th Century Literature. It is an extended allegorical poem begun by Guillaume de Lorris and completed by Jean de Meung, in which in a dream vision the Lover wishes to win his Lady, the Rose. Jean de Meung's contribution has a section in which Nature discusses destiny and free will, explains the influence of the heavens and discourses on dreams. In the 16th century a poem, the 'Remonstrances de Nature a l'alchymiste errant' was ascribed to Jean de Meung (but most likely was written in the 16th century). This was included in a volume of three "ancient" French poems on alchemy, Jean de la Fontaine 'De La Transformation Metallique', Paris circa1540 (and reissued in a number of editions over the next century). This book included 'La Fontaine des amoureux de science', and 'le Sommaire philosophique de Nicolas Flamel'. The Jean de Meung piece was included in the Musaeum Hermeticum, 1678".

From Waite's edition of Paracelsus (1894). "In his Ritual de la Haute Magie, chapter 19, Eliphas Levi, describes a manuscript of Paracelsus supposedly in the Vatican, entitled "the Chemical Pathway or Manual". He claims that a this was transcribed by Sendivogius and used by Baron Tschoudy when composing the Hermetic Catechism in his L'Etoile Flamboyant ou la Société des Franc-Maçons considerée sous tous les aspects, 1766. I have not been able to locate the Paraclesus work in the Vatican nor Sendivogius' transcription, however, the Hermetic Catechism of Baron Tschoudy is a fine piece of hermetic philosophy. The version here has been taken from A.E. Waite's translation published in the two volume Hermetic and Alchemical Writings of Paracelsus, which he heavily edited of masonic remarks of Tschoudy."

Each sonnet is in English as well as Italian. Transcribed by Massimo Marra, with English versions by Carlo Borriello. "The following six medieval sonnets, taken from Codex Riccardianus N. 946 available in the Biblioteca Laurenziana in Florence, were published for the first time in 1930 in a pamphlet edited by M. Mazzoni, bearing the title Sonetti Alchemici - Ermetici di Frate Elia e Cecco D'Ascoli, published by Società Editrice Toscana.
The pamphlet was reprinted, for all we know, only once in 1955 by Atanor (an Italian publishing house).
On the basis of an explicit statement by the editor, which, without any motivation, attributes the authorship to Frate Elia da Cortona, there is no evidence and no document which can validate this attribution. In the pamphlet, there is no paleographic information on that codex". [#ABEL2].

An interesting description of his translation of Giovanni Battista Nazari's Three Dreams on Metallic Transmutation. and a summary of the book. "And the Three Dreams? Well, it's an odd piece of work. It consists of three fantastic and discursive dream visions, in which our narrator wanders through forests, caves, mountains, meadows, and villages; following nymphs, escaping monsters, pondering allegorical structures, spelling out inscriptions, and listening to lectures - all in pursuit of the elusive secrets of alchemy. His oddly random adventures are interrupted by digressions into botany, cryptography, music, and other subjects; and studded with verses, bibliographies, lists, and classical references. It's many things at once: allegory, textbook, satire, encyclopedia, fantasy. It's fairly concise, though: less than 200 pages". [#ABEL2].

The admirable and perfect way of making the great Stone of the Philosophers, as it was truely taught in Paris, and sometimes practised in England, by the said Raymund Lully, in the time of King Edw. 3. Translated into English by R. Turner
London, printed for Richard Moon at the seven Stars, and Hen: Fletcher at the three gilt Cups in Paul's Church-yard. 1657.
Contained in this is a work of practical experiments by the supposed Raymond Lully. These are likely to have been written in the seventeeth century based on some earlier publications of 'Lully' experiments in Latin and German.
Philosophical and Chymical Experiments Of the Famous Philosopher Raymund Lully. Wherein is contained, The right and true Composition Of Both Elixirs and Universal Medicine: The admirable and perfect way of making the great Stone of the Philosophers, as it was truely taught in Paris, and sometimes practised in England by Raymund Lully in the time of K. Edward the third. Now for the Benefit of all Lovers of Art and Knowledge, carefully translated into English, out of High-German and Latine, by W.W. Student in the Celestial Sciences, and Robert Turner.
The text is one of those works of practical alchemy in which the experiments are simply described. Unlike other texts of practical alchemy which obviously on purpose code or obscure the meaning of the terms involved, this would appear to be a straightforward account of a series of experiments. We will just look at the first 'experiment' which is in chapters 1 and 2 and give a reading of the text into modern chemical terms. [#ABEL2].

"Conclusions. 1.- Arab alchemists (Jabir) developed Aristotle's theory of the two exhalations by considering the vapour and smoke as two initial forms of mercury and sulphur. The Arabic text given above gives a conclusive evidence in support of those historians who believed in the relationship between Aristotle's exhalations and the Arabic sulphur-mercury theory. The sulphur-mercury theory as developed by Jabir from the exhalations concept of Aristotle is the main source of the idea of alchemy. 2- The very close resemblance between the Arabic text and that of the Summa leaves no doubt that the Geber text is a translation from Arabic. No Latin writer in the thirteenth century could have formulated such a mature theory. The similarity of the texts cannot be the result of a coincidence.". [#ABEL2].

"This poem is a synthesis of two other poems from the "Odyssey of Heart" written by Durand von Meissen. "Visions" speaks to the desire for spiritual truth as a heroic quest for enlightenment through "confrontation with the divine and demonic in the heart". As such, it resonates with the traditions of spiritual alchemy" [Alchemy Journal]. [#ABEL2].
