The Crowning of Nature: Coronatio Naturae and the Alchemical Tradition

The Crowning of Nature: Coronatio Naturae and the Alchemical Tradition

Full video of a presentation given together by myself and Frater Alistair Drew-Yeates, exploring the enigmatic and inspiring 16th century alchemical manuscript commonly known as the Coronatio Naturae.

Throughout the presentation we look at the historical context of the alchemical manuscript, give a detailed comparison of the different versions that are available in archives around the world, and take a closer look at the practical stages of operational alchemy that the manuscript represents.

Part of an ongoing exploration into practical Rosicrucianism, that seeks to bring into clearer focus some of the paths that can still be pursued today in order to gain a more hands-on and deeper appreciation for the hidden mysteries at the heart of the Rosicrucian tradition.

This presentation was given at the September 2023 meeting of the Metropolitan Study Group, organised by the Province of Greater London for the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA).
