Scholar and author Tobias Churton joins me in this episode to discuss his latest book The First Alchemists. In addition to explaining the origins of alchemy, Tobias discusses two of the earliest alchemists, Zosimos of Panopolis and Mary the Prophetess, and the art’s connection to Gnosticism, Judaism, and hermeticism, and how exploring the origins of alchemy challenges our understanding of the art.
