Esoteric while existed in background—Alchemy idea of transmutation trace to Hellenistic Egypt in the treatises of Zosimos Panopolis, the earliest historically attested author (300 CE).
Zosimus based his work on that of older alchemical authors, such as Mary the Jewess, Pseudo-Democritus and Agathodaimon. The most complete works: The Four Books of Pseudo-Democritus, were probably written in the first century AD.
Zosimus traced the alchemical arts back to Egyptian metallurgical and ceremonial practices. Zosimos of Panopolis wrote in the Final Abstinence (Final Count). Zosimos described practice of tinctures (Greek name for the alchemy) had been taken over by demons who taught the art only to those who offered them sacrifices.
Zosimos also called the demons guardians of places (οἱ κατὰ τόπον ἔφοροι) and those who offered them sacrifices priests (ἱερέα), he was referring to the gods of Egypt and their priests.
The Greek mythology of alchemy is Hermes Trismegistus. His name is derived from the god Thoth and his Greek counterpart Hermes. Hermes and his caduceus or serpent-staff, were among alchemy's principal symbols. Clement of Alexandria, he wrote what were called the forty-two books of Hermes, covering all fields of knowledge.
The Hermetica of Thrice-Great Hermes understood to form the basis for Western alchemical philosophy and practice, hermetic philosophy. These writings were collected in the first century.
The dawn of Western alchemy is sometimes associated with that of metallurgy, extending back to 3500 BC. Many writings were lost when the Roman emperor Diocletian ordered the burning of alchemical books after suppressing a revolt in Alexandria (AD 292) fearing the technology will fuel more revolt some papyrus survived the Leyden papyrus X. Dating from AD 250–300, they contained recipes for dyeing and making artificial gemstones, cleaning and fabricating pearls, and manufacturing of imitation gold and silver. These writings lack of any mystical, philosophical elements of alchemy, but do contain the works of Bolus of Mendes (Pseudo-Democritus), which aligned these recipes with theoretical knowledge of astrology and the classical elements. Between the time of Bolus and Zosimos, the change took place that transformed this metallurgy into a Hermetic art.
Alexandria due to the library acted as a melting pot for philosophies of Pythagoreanism, Platonism, Stoicism and Gnosticism which formed the origin of alchemy. Example of alchemy rooted in Greek philosophy, originated by Empedocles and developed by Aristotle, was that all things in the universe were formed from only four elements: earth, air, water, and fire. For Aristotle, each element had a sphere to which it belonged and to which it would return if left undisturbed: The four elements of the Greek were mostly qualitative aspects of matter, not quantitative:
...True alchemy never regarded earth, air, water, and fire as corporeal or chemical substances in the present-day sense of the word. The four elements are simply the primary, and most general, qualities by means of which the amorphous and purely quantitative substance of all bodies first reveals itself in differentiated form. (Burckhardt T, 1967. Alchemy: Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul. Trans. William Stoddart. Baltimore)
Alchemy coexisted alongside emerging Christianity. Lactantius believed Hermes Trismegistus had prophesied its birth. St Augustine later affirmed this in the 4th and 5th centuries, but also condemned Trismegistus for idolatry.
By the middle of the 7th century alchemy was almost an entirely mystical discipline. It was at that time that Khalid Ibn Yazid sparked its migration from Alexandria to the Islamic world, facilitating the translation and preservation of Greek alchemical texts in the 8th and 9th centuries.
In China (Taoist used as extended life by the manipulation praxis of Yin and Yang and creation of fake—gold) and India, where idea by refining bases into gold and ingesting the synthetic gold, the alchemist believed that immortal life would be delivered.
The idea that fake gold was superior to real gold arose because the alchemists believed the combination of a variety of substances and the transformation of these substances through roasting or burning.
Gold and cinnabar (jindan) were the most sought-after substances to manipulate and ingest, believed to have longevity and thus able to elongate the life of the consumer.
Cinnabar is a mineral with a reddish-brown color and is the most common source of mercury in nature, the red color it was refined implied to alchemists its connection with immortality. Red was considered in Chinese culture to be representing the sun, fire, royalty and energy.
Cinnabar could also be
roasted, which produced a liquid form of silver known as quicksilver, now known
as mercury. This substance was ingested but it could also be combined with Sulphur
and burned again to return to its natural form of cinnabar, the solid seen as the
yang to quicksilver's yin. In China, gold was quite rare, so it was usually
imported from other surrounding countries. However, cinnabar could be refined
in the mountains of Sichuan and Hunan provinces in central China.
Rudolf II in Prague, at his time Astrology
and alchemy were regarded as mainstream scientific fields in Renaissance. Rudolf lifelong quest was to find the
Philosopher's Stone and Rudolf did
not spared expense in bringing Europe's best alchemists to court, such as Edward Kelley and John Dee. Rudolf performed
his own experiments in a private alchemy laboratory. When Rudolf was a prince, Nostradamus
prepared a horoscope which was dedicated to him as Prince and King. Rudolf is also the ruler in many of the legends of
the Golem of Prague—at the time of Judah Loew ben Bezalel.
A darker side began to take place, with Scientific Method become a standard creating a revolution where pseudo-science as Astrology and Alchemy become left out, where the need of God to explain become displace, the most significant the justification of Slaves by color of their skin or Anti-Semitism, the pseudo-science developed by Eugenics based on the work Galton—cousin of Darwin (Okrent, 2019. The Guarded Gate, Scribner) and Anti-Semitism could not be Justify.
The esoteric become an ideal tool for a privilege where secrets where disseminated to few chosen ones. In the Age of Enlightenment witnessed a process of increasing secularization of European and an embrace of modern science rationality within intellectual circles. The Swedish naturalist Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772), who attempted to reconcile science and religion after experiencing a vision of Jesus Christ, his writings focused on his visionary travels to heaven and hell and his communications with angels, claiming that the visible, materialist world parallels an invisible spiritual world, with correspondences between the two that do not reflect causal relations.
The German physician Franz Anton Mesmer (1734–1814), who developed the theory of Animal Magnetism, Mesmer claimed that a universal life force permeated everything, including the human body, and that illnesses were caused by a disturbance or block in this force's flow; he developed techniques he claimed cleansed such blockages and restored the patient to full health, the Marquis de Puységur, discovered that mesmeric treatment could induce a state of somnumbulic trance in which entering visionary states and communicate with spirit beings.
These somnambulic trance-states heavily influenced the esoteric religion of Spiritualism, which emerged in the United States in the 1840s. The theological worldviews were articulated by Andrew Jackson Davis (1826–1910) and Allan Kardec (1804–1869). Scientific interest in the claims of Spiritualism resulted in the development of the field of psychical research. Somnambulism also exerted a strong influence on the early disciplines of psychology and psychiatry—though with the rise of psychoanalysis and behaviorism in the 20th century, these disciplines distanced themselves from esotericism.
Also influenced by artificial somnambulism was the religion of New Thought, founded by Phineas P. Quimby (1802–1866). It revolved around the concept of "mind over matter"—believing that illness and other negative conditions could be cured through the power of belief.[99]
In Europe, a movement usually termed occultism emerged as various figures attempted to find a third way" between Christianity and positivist science while building on the ancient, medieval, and Renaissance traditions of esoteric thought.
In France, following the social upheaval of the 1789 Revolution, various figures emerged in this occultist milieu who were heavily influenced by traditional Catholicism, Eliphas Lévi (1810–1875), Papus (1865–1916) and René Guénon (1886–1951), whose concern with tradition led him to develop an occult viewpoint termed Traditionalism; it espoused the idea of an original, universal tradition, and thus a rejection of modernity, His Traditionalist ideas strongly influenced later esotericists like Fascist Julius Evola (1898–1974) and Frithjof Schuon (1907–1998).
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (12 August or 31 July] 1831 – 8 May 1891) was a Russian author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. The Theosophical Society established links with an Indian Hindu reform movement, the Arya Samaj, which had been founded by the Swami Dayananda Saraswati; She praise cast system in India to separated race, while she was anti-Semitic, she praise in the same bread the Kabbalah and her dislike of Christianity not to blame decent of the Jews for Death of the Christian God. About physical races, she wrote that Africans, Aboriginal Australians, and South Sea Islanders are inferior to Europeans, stating:
MONADS of the lowest specimens of humanity (the narrow-brained savage South-Sea Islander, the African and the Australian) had no Karma to work out when first born as men, as their more favored brethren in intelligence had.
She referred to aboriginal Australians as: half-animal and Tthe dynamic, evolutionary nature of races must also be kept in mind.
In The Secret Doctrine she postulates at the same:
If tomorrow the continent of Europe were to disappear and other lands re-emerge instead, and if the African tribes were to separate and scatter on the face of the earth, it is they who, in about a hundred thousand years hence, would form the bulk of the civilized natures...
In the Anglophone, occult movement owed more to Enlightenment libertines, and thus was more often of an anti-Christian bent that saw wisdom as emanating from the pre-Christian pagan religions of Europe.
The spreading of secret teachings and magic practices found enthusiastic adherents in the chaos of Germany during the interwar years. Notable writers such as Guido von List spread neo-pagan, nationalist ideas, based on Wotanism, Many influential and wealthy Germans were drawn to secret societies as the Thule Society, (Clark N, 2005. The Occult Roots Of Nazism, TPP; Israelowitz M, 2016. The Historical Origin of Antisemitism Gustav Landauer Press)
Thule Society activist Karl Harrer was one of the founders of the German Workers' Party, which later became the Nazi Party; some Nazi Party members like Alfred Rosenberg and Rudolf Hess were listed as guests of the Thule Society, as was Adolf Hitler's mentor Dietrich Eckart. After their rise to power, the Nazis persecuted occultists.
While many Nazi Party leaders like Hitler and Goebbels were hostile to occultism, Himmler used Karl Maria Wiligut as a clairvoyant and was regularly consulting for help in setting up the symbolic and ceremonial aspects of the SS. By 1939, Wiligut was forcibly retired from the SS due to being institutionalized for insanity. On the other hand, the German hermetic magic order Fraternitas Saturni was founded on Easter 1928 and it is one of the oldest continuously running magical groups in Germany.
In 1936, the Fraternitas Saturni was prohibited by the Nazi regime. The leaders of the lodge emigrated to avoid imprisonment, but in the course of the war Eugen Grosche, one of their main leaders, was arrested for a year by the Nazi government. After World War II they reformed the Fraternitas Saturni.
Alexsandr Dugins discover of Evola (Racist mysticism) influence to create neo-Eurasian ideology, which adopts an eclectic mixture of Russian patriotism, Orthodox faith, anti-modernism, and with Bolshevist ideas, the organization opposes American values as liberalism, capitalism, and modernism, the neo-Eurasian included Orban Political Party in Hungary and Turkey.
Dugin asserts: We are on the side of Stalin and the Soviet Union.
Dugin conservative: We, conservatives, want a strong, solid State, want order and healthy family, positive values, the reinforcing of the importance of religion and the Church in society.
He adds: We want patriotic radio, TV, patriotic experts, patriotic clubs. We want the media that expresses national interests.
Marlène Laruelle: the thinking of Dugin, manufacturer of a fascism à-la-russe, could be described as a series of concentric circles, with far-right ideologies underpinned by different political and philosophical traditions (Esoteric Nazism, Traditionalism/Perennialism, the German Conservative Revolution and the European New Right).
Dugin adapts Heidegger's thought of Dasein (Existence) and transforms it into a geo–philosophical for Dugin, the forces of liberal and capitalist Western civilization represent what the ancient Greeks called ὕβρις (hubris): the essential form of titanism (the anti-ideal form), which opposes Heaven (the ideal form—in terms of space, time, being). In other words, the West would summarize: the revolt of the Earth against Heaven. To what he calls the West's atomizing universalism, Dugin contrasts an apophatic universalism, expressed in the political idea of empire. Values of democracy, human rights, individualism are considered by him not to be universal but uniquely Western.
