Welcome back, Witches! This week we’re continuing our Occultists series with Part 6, where we dive into the lives and legacies of Mary the Jewess and Zosimos of Panopolis, two of the earliest and most influential figures in the world of alchemy. From groundbreaking laboratory techniques to philosophical writings that blended science, mysticism, and spirituality, their work helped shape the foundations of Western alchemical tradition. So get in, Loser, because this week we’re stepping into the ancient world of alchemy.
