Recording of a live streaming webinar on the "Alchemy of the Splendor Solis". One of the British Museum's most prized possessions (the Harley 3469 MS), the Splendor Solis is considered the world's most beautiful (and perhaps important!) alchemical manuscript. We will talk a little about its history and relevance, then review in full the 22 plates and their initiatory significance as a guide for the alchemical journey. We will also showcase 6 other versions of the MS, all newly digitally restored and enhanced.

The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to “knowledge of the hidden” or “hidden knowledge”.

The term occult sciences was used in 16th-century Europe to refer to astrology, alchemy, and natural magic, which today are considered pseudosciences. The term occultism emerged in 19th-century France, amongst figures such as Antoine Court de Gébelin. It came to be associated with various French esoteric groups connected to Éliphas Lévi and Papus, and in 1875 was introduced into the English language by the esotericist Helena Blavatsky.

Throughout the 20th century, the term was used idiosyncratically by a range of different authors, but by the 21st century was commonly employed – including by academic scholars of esotericism – to refer to a range of esoteric currents that developed in the mid-19th century and their descendants. Occultism is thus often used to categorise such esoteric traditions as Spiritualism, Theosophy, Anthroposophy, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and New Age.
