Alchemy
I am an Honorary Fellow of Exeter University where I teach The History of Alchemy in the new MA Programme for Western Esotericism. This is the first degree of its kind at a UK university. You can see details at the Exeter Centre for the Study of Esotericism.
I am interested in practical alchemy, as well as its history. Alchemical medicines, called Spagyrics, are herbal medicines which have been prepared according to Paracelsian alchemical methods. They are very gentle but powerfully restorative and can help to rapidly rebuild your health and vitality in times of severe stress, illness or burn-out.
Forthcoming events:
The Scientific and Medical Network conference, The Body and Beyond: Cross-Cultural Understandings of Subtle Energy takes place at Bath Spa University, August 22-24th 2008.
My talk, "The Vital Force, Dynamis and Susceptibility" will propose that the body is not a machine, but a form endowed with a spirit-like Vital Force, a dynamis that enlivens all its parts, and a questing susceptibility that attracts what is needed not only for the body itself, but also for the soul.
Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke will be speaking on "Wheels of Fire: the Assimilation of Eastern Subtle Body doctrines in the Western Esoteric Tradition", and there are also contributions from Paul Hougham, Gay Watson, Ornella Corazza, and Shigenori Nagatomo. The event will be chaired by Peter Fenwick and David Lorimer. For further details please see The Scientific & Medical Network
