This book was released on 2016-05-14 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aurora of the Philosophers is, to this day, one of the most in depth texts ever written on the subject of alchemy. Crafted by the famed Paracelsus, it combines theory with action and allows the reader, if they possess the intellect necessary, to fully understand the basic corpus of alchemical work. Containing as well a lengthy segment on the historical roots of occult power from the Hebrews, Egyptians, Persians, and Chaldaeans, the Aurora both cautions against charlatans and defends the proto-chemistry of the Renaissance era.

Book excerpt: Theophrastus Paracelsus, doctor, chemist, and mystic was born in Switzerland in 1493. He is celebrated as the man who, on his appointment as town physician and lecturer in the University of Basle in 1526, preceeded his lectures by a solemn burning of the books of his illustrious predecessors Galen and Avicenna. In the course of a tempestuous life, he helped to transform the highly abstract and theoretical view of medicine into one observation and experiment, diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, he was a visionary who believed that the life of man was inseparable from that of the universe; and that man is penetrated by the astral spirit as well as having a soul.Paracelsus' prophecies were first published in German in 1530 and enjoyed considerable popularity for about a century. Thereafter they fell into oblivion until rescued in the nineteenth century by the Kabbalist and Magician Eliphas Levi. The prophecies comprise 32 allegorical pictures each accompanied by a prognostication, a preface, and an elucidation. Paracelsus' images are usually obscure. It was as if he saw the future as a series of moving pictures on a film but was only able to describe them out of chronological sequence.Most of the events predicted are concerned with the church or state and the span of time involved seems to be 24 and 42 , or probably multiples thereof. Like other occult works of the period, the course of future events is never explicitly stated. It is up to the reader to use his insight and imagination to draw his own conclusions from the subtle hints that Paracelsus gives.

Download or read book Anna Zieglerin and the Lion s Blood written by Tara Nummedal and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1573, the alchemist Anna Zieglerin gave her patron, the Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, the recipe for an extraordinary substance she called the lion's blood. She claimed that this golden oil could stimulate the growth of plants, create gemstones, transform lead into the coveted philosophers' stone—and would serve a critical role in preparing for the Last Days. Boldly envisioning herself as a Protestant Virgin Mary, Anna proposed that the lion's blood, paired with her own body, could even generate life, repopulating and redeeming the corrupt world in its final moments. In Anna Zieglerin and the Lion's Blood, Tara Nummedal reconstructs the extraordinary career and historical afterlife of alchemist, courtier, and prophet Anna Zieglerin. She situates Anna's story within the wider frameworks of Reformation Germany's religious, political, and military battles; the rising influence of alchemy; the role of apocalyptic eschatology; and the position of women within these contexts. Together with her husband, the jester Heinrich Schombach, and their companion and fellow alchemist Philipp Sommering, Anna promised her patrons at the court of Wolfenbüttel spiritual salvation and material profit. But her compelling vision brought with it another, darker possibility: rather than granting her patrons wealth or redemption, Anna's alchemical gifts might instead lead to war, disgrace, and destruction. By 1575, three years after Anna's arrival at court, her enemies had succeeded in turning her from holy alchemist into poisoner and sorceress, culminating in Anna's arrest, torture, and public execution. In her own life, Anna was a master of self-fashioning; in the centuries since her death, her story has been continually refashioned, making her a fitting emblem for each new age. Interweaving the history of science, gender, religion, and politics, Nummedal recounts how one resourceful woman's alchemical schemes touched some of the most consequential matters in Reformation Germany.

Download or read book From Paracelsus to Newton written by Charles Webster and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alchemist and physician known as Paracelsus (1493-1541) appears to have dwelt in a completely different intellectual world from Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727). Newton's work lies in the lofty era of the Enlightenment and the modern world, while that of the enigmatic Paracelsus conjures up the superstitious lore of the Dark Ages. The rise of science and the decline of magic unfolded over many generations, and as this fascinating book shows, there existed remarkable elements of continuity between the worldviews of the early sixteenth and late seventeenth centuries.

Download or read book The Prophecies of Paracelsus written by Paracelse and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-02-02 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prophecies of Paracelsus attracted my attention at an early stage of my studies in the Occult, which have now extended to over forty years, but I have only recently thought of bringing them to public notice, the extraordinary events of the present time acting as an incentive. The famous French Kabbalist, Alphonse Louis Constant, in La Clef des Grands Mystères, p. 378, wrote: 'The Prophecy of Paracelsus, of which we here give the Preface, is composed of thirty-two chapters with allegorical figures. 'It is the most astounding monument and indisputable proof of the reality and existence of the gift of natural prophecy.' Abbé Constant (born 1809, died 1875), better known by his Hebraistic pseudonym, Eliphas Lévi Fahed, was a distinguished Adept, Magus, and Writer on the Occult. Most of his works have been ably translated by Mr. A. E. Waite. The Preface Eliphas Lévi refers to is not given here, but will be found preceding the Predictions.
Download or read book The Devil s Doctor written by Philip Ball and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A vibrant, original portrait of a man of contradictions,” the Renaissance-era Swiss father of modern medicine (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, who called himself Paracelsus, stands at the cusp of medieval and modern times. A contemporary of Luther, an enemy of the medical establishment, a scourge of the universities, an alchemist, an army surgeon, and a radical theologian, he attracted myths even before he died. His fantastic journeys across Europe and beyond were said to be made on a magical white horse, and he was rumored to carry the elixir of life in the pommel of his great broadsword. His name was linked with Faust, who bargained with the devil. Who was the man behind these stories? Some have accused him of being a charlatan, a windbag who filled his books with wild speculations and invented words. Others claim him to be the father of modern medicine. Philip Ball exposes a more complex truth in The Devil’s Doctor—one that emerges only by entering Paracelsus’s time. He explores the intellectual, political, and religious undercurrents of the sixteenth century and looks at how doctors really practiced, at how people traveled, and at how wars were fought. For Paracelsus was a product of an age of change and strife, of renaissance and reformation. And yet by uniting the diverse disciplines of medicine, biology, and alchemy, he assisted, almost despite himself, in the birth of science and the emergence of the age of rationalism. Praise for The Devil’s Doctor “An enlivening portrait that will spark interest in [Paracelsus’s] role in the rise of science.” —Booklist “A true iconoclast, [Paraclesus] inhabited an ideological landscape somewhere between the medieval and the modern. Ball effectively places Paracelsus in the larger context of Renaissance magic and philosophy, and of a turbulent period. . . . Worth the effort.” —Kirkus Reviews
