CURRENT PROJECTS
Mostly I work at my own relaxed and care-free pace, either in the lab or at my research desk. That's how life on a little coconut island is, but sometimes I get inspired and excited about new projects - some of which are listed below. I hope you find them interesting.

Cabala Mineralis - New Translation
Originally scheduled as a separate book on its own, a new literal Latin-English translation by Aaron Butler MA, MAR - an expert in analytical philosophy, logic, philosophy of religion and theology with an interest in medieval studies - has been included in the Transmission of Alchemy. He arduously examined every single word and word combination in his painstaking efforts to provide an incredibly accurate and new literal translation of the Cabala Mineralis. In addition, he included exhaustive and detailed footnotes explaining each translation. His efforts are sure to reveal nuances heretofore unavailable to most researchers, which will allow for a fresh new appreciation for the Cabala Mineralis. In his own humble words:
“Herein, I have provided a modern translation of the first book of the Cabala Mineralis. For each figure of the book, I have included both the original Latin passage and the English translation, the latter of which is below the former. Wherever appropriate, as footnotes, I have also provided concomitant explanations.“ ― Aaron Butler, MA, MAR
Researchers interested in the Cabala Mineralis will be delighted to find Aaron's translation and extensive footnotes incredibly insightful and revealing.

Grand Elixir - Sacred Fire and Royal Blood
During the late-18th century an explosion of Illuminism spread throughout Europe resulting from a sacred substance known only to the highest-level initiates as the Grand Elixir. In alchemy it is known as the vegetable or plant-based spagyric Philosophers' Stone - alchemical technology to produce it originally developed during the 1st thru 6th dynastry in ancient Egypt. In this fascinating new book by Quintessence, J. Erik LaPort demonstrates how inspiration for the Grand Elixir has its origins in remote antiquity in Africa, Egypt and the Middle-East, tracing the Grand Elixir's development to 17th century iatrochemists and 18th century European illuminism where it found fullest expression. LaPort doesn't stop at just history and theory however ... he also provides easy to follow step-by-step instructions for recreating the Grand Elixir at home using several alchemical methods, both ancient and modern.
This project is scheduled as a future collaborative effort and is due to be written by Aaron Butler, with J. Erik LaPort as advisor and co-author.
