  ALCHEMICAL GNOSIS IN BABI
Though much of the natural philosophy presupposed in alchemical texts has been superseded by "modern science" there is a great deal that is of interest in alchemical texts to scholars working in such fields as the "history of ideas" (magical, philosophical, occult), the "history of philosophy" the "history of science" and the "history of religions".

 Beautiful Circuiting: The Alchemical Imagination in English Romanticism
The goal of the alchemical procedure is healing self-knowledge; (8) the extracted quintessence, equated with gold and the Stone as the final principle of truth, is a panacea.
This spontaneous tendency is in principle an introjection of the alchemical process, through which the prima materia is metaphorically identified with the dust of human selfhood and the final unity of the Stone becomes the reconciliation of the discordant diversity of human experience.
The alchemical Stone, then, is predictably a sphere: the aim of alchemical individuation is the reproduction of a unity, the Original Being, who in Platonic thought was a sphere.

 Review: The Alchemical Tarot by Lee Bursten
Many of the cards do not appear explicitly alchemical at all (i.e., showing vials and retorts and ovens, or what most people would associate with alchemy), although they are in keeping with alchemical concepts.
Here is a rare instance where the alchemical theme intrudes; I suspect the change in the card’s mood was made in order to fit the alchemical scheme, leading to Death in the next card.
This hole represents the nigredo, the alchemical stage where the substance is reduced to ash, killed, and flened, but the picture has a psychological power apart from its alchemical roots.

 Introducing Newton's Alchemical Papers
But what was beginning to seem repugnant to many rationalist thinkers was the elaborate and self-consciously literary allegorical style in which alchemical works had traditionally been (and indeed still were being) written, with their talk of green lions, white doves of Diana, dragons 'all on a gore blood' and such like.
Newton, however, was apparently convinced that there was real objective truth discernible through this disguise, and from the late 1660s until he left Cambridge in 1696, he devoted himself to elucidating it with the same energy and fierce concentration he applied to his analyses of the equally impenetrable prophetic books of the Bible.
The bulk of his alchemical manuscript legacy, however, consists not of his own laboratory notes but of his attempts to make sense of the wilfully obscure texts he collected so avidly.

 Alchemical Tarot Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Inspired by the spiritual alchemy of the Rosicrucians, the Alchemical Tarot is full of alchemical symbolism and explains "the beliefs of the elixirs that make up the substance of life." Card art is hand-drawn in style reminiscent of comic books.

The Star is perhaps the most potentially startling: it shows a double tailed mermaid expressing milk and blood (alchemical metaphors for mercury and sulphur, which in turn are metaphors themselves) into the waves.
