How I became a How-to-er</h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>I was born in the USSR, where my childhood offered limited leisure activities. For example, I had only two how-to books: one was about how not to have sex, and the other focused on chemical experiments. The latter captivated me, especially because many experiments involved blowing things up. I loved making small bombs with ingredients bought legally from nearby pharmacies. I also grew crystals behind my radiator and changed the colours of various chemicals for fun. This was all with the help of this book for kids, <em>The Entertaining Chemistry.</em></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="339" height="500" src="https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-339x500.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1939" style="width:455px;height:auto" srcset="https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-339x500.jpg 339w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-203x300.jpg 203w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-768x1133.jpg 768w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-1041x1536.jpg 1041w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-1388x2048.jpg 1388w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-1568x2314.jpg 1568w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/1-scaled.jpg 1735w" sizes="(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px" /></figure> <p>Ten years passed, and I was already a student in Moscow. I was thinking about what topic I need to write for my Master’s Thesis. Once, I was really bored, and I was searching the internet for random things. Suddenly, I revisited this book from my childhood. To my surprise, many of its experiments carried subtle references to alchemy. It was weird because its author, Vladimir Ryumin (1874–1937), was a famous engineer and science communicator. And the book was published in 1925, during the campaign against religion and the occult. Explicitly, <em>The Entertaining Chemistry</em> made some negative mentions of alchemy. Still, some recipes hinted at alchemical themes. One experiment, “The Saturn Tree of the Ancient Alchemists”, referenced Paracelsus’s “Tree”. Another experiment involving the transformation of a white rose into a red one was made after the alchemical stages of <em>albedo</em> and <em>rubedo </em>— the stages involved in turning base metals into silver and gold, often depicted as roses in medieval alchemical books. Ryumin also described creating a “green lion”, where a yellow cardboard lion dyed with potassium chromic acid turns green due to sulfur. Ryumin joked that the lion “turned green from fear of the suffocating gas”, a reference to the WWI gas attacks. However, the “green lion” symbolised the acid that purified noble metals to those familiar with alchemy.</p> <p><img decoding="async" width="787px;" height="385px;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/slidesz/AGV_vUcTw40GsmiVn_W40oZ0X3AGQI_ZOMvE0RzY9-MqcXukp5CPqwmkxE4SQZkyANuFfIZ-RGDdBl2krs8a2UU5QQfWRwxNIya6QxMxGLjf4sL4DWi8At0fY46MIHxGNctVJLfvV-z7JMJdTx5qTns1SZHxRa5A0Ys1=s2048?key=_Xb8dzlsusI14y4M3lURmw"></p> <p>I described these alchemical allusions, and within a week, I had a paper about hidden alchemical content in <em>The Entertaining Chemistry</em>. Unsure where to present it, I randomly googled “Alchemy conference near Moscow.” Surprisingly, I found one happening in a couple of weeks in Vyazma, a small town near Smolensk. Though the submission deadline had passed, the organisers were so impressed by the coincidence that they accepted me immediately. I met remarkable alchemy researchers from Russia, Ukraine, and Germany at the conference, which entirely shaped my academic path. I applied for fellowships with a project on the history of German alchemy, which launched my academic career. I have since published a book about alchemy in Russian, completed a dissertation about alchemy in the UK, worked on a research project about alchemy in Wolfenbüttel, and now hold a post-doc at the Warburg Institute in London, of course, dedicated to alchemy as well. All of this happened thanks to this incredible coincidence.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="500" height="375" src="https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/PXL_20241003_174930683-1-500x375.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1957" style="width:607px;height:auto" srcset="https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/PXL_20241003_174930683-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/PXL_20241003_174930683-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/PXL_20241003_174930683-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/PXL_20241003_174930683-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/PXL_20241003_174930683-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://howtobook.hypotheses.org/files/2024/10/PXL_20241003_174930683-1-1568x1176.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure> <hr/><div class="citation"><p><span class="citation-title">OpenEdition suggests that you cite this post as follows:</span><br/>Sergei Zotov (October 17, 2024).
