Second planet from the Sun in the Solar System Venus is a terrestrial planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to the Sun, and bulk composition. It is radically different from Earth in other respects. Venus. In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, sex, beauty, and fertility.
She was the Roman counterpart to the Greek Aphrodite. However, Roman Venus had many abilities beyond the Greek Aphrodite; she was a goddess of victory, fertility, and even prostitution. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Aphrodite was born of the foam from the sea after Saturn (Greek Cronus) castrated his father Uranus (Ouranus) and his blood fell to the sea. This latter explanation appears to be more a popular theory due to the countless artworks depicting Venus rising from the sea in a clam.

Hermetic. The Arcanum Hermeticum has been chosen for the first volume of the Collectanea Hermetica, because since its first publication in 1623, in the Latin language, no alchymic tract has been more widely read, and no other has been so often reprinted, alike in Latin, German, French and English.
The author, Jean d’Espagnet, was sometime President of the Parliament of Bordeaux, he flourished from 1600 to 1630, and obtained a great reputation as an Hermetic philosopher and alchymist. Two of his alchymic works are alone extant; Enchiridion Physicæ Restitutæ, and Arcanum Philosophiæ Hermeticæ; of these, the former treats of those theories of chemical constitution upon which the possibility of Transmutations of Metals depends, and the latter the Practice of Alchymy. The Arcanum was first published in 1623 in France; five subsequent French editions in the original Latin are known, and an edition in the French tongue was printed in 1651 from the translation of Jean Bachon.

In Greek mythology, Scylla[2] ( SIL-ə; Greek: Σκύλλα, pronounced [skýl̚la], Skylla) was a legendary monster that lived on one side of a narrow channel of water, opposite her counterpart Charybdis.
The two sides of the strait were within an arrow's range of each other—so close that sailors attempting to avoid Charybdis would pass dangerously close to Scylla and vice versa. Scylla made her first appearance in Homer's Odyssey, where Odysseus and his crew encounter her and Charybdis on their travels. Later myth gave her an origin story as a beautiful nymph who gets turned into a monster. Between Scylla and Charybdis. Henry Fuseli's painting of Odysseus facing the choice between Scylla and Charybdis, 1794/6 Being between Scylla and Charybdis is an idiom deriving from Greek mythology, meaning "having to choose between two evils".

Ramon Llull. 13th and 14th-century Majorcan writer and philosopher Ramon Llull, T.O.S.F. (Catalan: [rəˈmoɲ ˈʎuʎ]; c. 1232[1] – c. 1315; Anglicised Raymond Lully, Raymond Lull; in Latin Raimundus, or Raymundus Lullus, or Raimundo Lulio, or Lullius) was a mathematician, polymath, philosopher, logician, Franciscan tertiary and writer from the Kingdom of Majorca.
He is credited with writing the first major work of Catalan literature.[2] Recently surfaced manuscripts show his work to have predated by several centuries prominent work on elections theory. He is also considered a pioneer of computation theory, especially given his influence on Leibniz.[3][4][5] Saint or heretic[edit] Since Llull's first writings, there has been confusion in the church regarding whether he was a saint or a heretic.
Within the Franciscan Order Llull is honoured as a martyr. The Abandoned Word; Alchemical Studies series 16. Freemasonry for Men and Women. History of Alchemy.

History of Alchemy. Morienus Romanus. (Book) The Book of Morienus. Morienus. Morienus (auch Marianos und Morienus Romanus, also Morienus der Römer), ist ein legendärer christlicher Einsiedler vom Ende des 7. Jahrhunderts, der in den Bergen nahe Jerusalem gelebt haben soll, und Alchemist. Die üblicherweise Robert von Chester zugeschriebene erste lateinische Übersetzung eines alchemistischen Traktats aus dem Arabischen (12. Jahrhundert, um 1144) - Liber de compositione alchimiae - ist der Form und Überlieferung nach ein Dialog zwischen diesem Morienus und Chalid ibn Yazid (um 665–704), Sohn des zweiten Umayyaden-Kalifen Yazid I. Der Text wurde 1559 in Paris gedruckt (nach dieser Ausgabe stammt die Übersetzung von 1182), als De transfiguratione metallorum, und in Basel 1593 (bei Konrad Waldkirch). Es wurden keine arabischen Texte dazu gefunden.[1] Julius Ruska hielt deswegen die Zuschreibung an den Kalifensohn für apokryph.[2] In der Schrift tauchen aber chemische Bezeichnungen mit arabischen Wurzeln auf (wie Alnatron).
