Alchemy of the Word is a study of the literary, philosophical, and cultural ramifications of Cabala during the Renaissance. Important intellectual figures from 1490 to 1690 are considered, including Agrippa, Dee, Spenser, Shakespeare, Browne, and Milton; Cabala's more recent impact is also discussed. Cabala, a hermeneutic style of Biblical commentary of Jewish origin, is based on the notion that, along with an inscribed Decalogue, Moses received a secret, oral supplement that provides a symbolic, allegorical, and moral qualification of the literal law of religion. Building on the work of Gershom Scholem, Joseph Blau, Harold Bloom, François Secret, Michel de Certeau, and Arthur Waite, Beitchman takes a fresh look at the "mystical" text through the lens of postmodernist theory. In a model developed from Deleuze-Guattari's "nomadology" to explore issues related to the Zohar, he shows that Cabala was a deconstruction of Renaissance authority. Like deconstruction, Cabala presents familiar material from novel and sometimes provocative perspectives. It allows space for modifiability, tolerance and humanity, by widening the margins between the letter of the law and the demands of an existence whose rules were so rapidly changing. An exercise in the literary analysis of "sacred texts" and an examination of the mystical element in literary works, Alchemy of the Word is also an experiment in new historicism. It shows how the reincarnation theories of F. M. Van Helmont, which impacted heavily on the seventeenth century English cabalistic circle of Henry More and Ann Conway, demonstrate at once the originality and boldness of Cabala, but also its desperation, constituting a theoretical parallel to the continental "acting out" of the Sabbatian heresy. Because of the debacle of the Sabbatian apostasy (conversion to Islam), Cabala subsequently declined in importance as a religious devotion, becoming either a matter of cults and heterodoxies or being sublimated into literary theory and practice.

The authors, all of them outstanding educators, write with passion, beauty and humor, their work is the best possible example of the old writing school adage 'show don't tell.' It is one of the best books I have read about the trade." --Cara Hoffman, author of So Much Pretty "Any time writers take what little time they have away from their creative process to share the insight and wisdom gleaned from years of practicing their craft, we should all take notice. These are the kinds of lessons you don't learn in school, but instead, from life. Artists mentoring artists is a very good thing." --Gary Garrison, Executive Director, Creative Affairs of the Dramatist's Guild, author of The New, Improved Playwrights Survival Guide

What do you do when life grants you everything and yet you are not happy? Are you allowed to complain when the rest of the world is plagued by disease, war, and abuse? Instead of feeling shame about her unease, Mena Teijeiro believed she had a responsibility. With resources, a curious brain, and a burning fire within, it was her duty to stop living an empty life and instead explore who she was to understand the human experience. Full of courage and a big heart, Menas poems are vulnerable and raw. Written mostly in free verse and in the first person perspective, her musings are bravely personal. The Alchemy of Words carries the essence of love and truth, disappointment and loss, abandonment and loneliness, and joy and innocence. Mena has been gifted with the ability to alchemize tender and precious moments into vibrant words, offered as whispers to our higher selves. It is time to take a journey of surrender in which we remember that, in our hearts, we are all pure, loved, and awakened to possibility. Menas use of natural phenomena for inner transformation hints at our connection with the Earth. The time is ripe for a deeper understanding.

The system which began to be called alchemy in the 6th and 7th centuries of our era had no special name before that time, but was known as the sacred art, the divine science, the occult science, the art of Hermes.A commentator on Aristotle, writing in the 4th century A.D., calls certain instruments used for fusion and calcination "chuika organa," that is, instruments for melting and pouring. Hence, probably, came the adjective chyic or chymic, and, at a somewhat later time, the word chemia as the name of that art which deals with calcinations, fusions, meltings, and the like. The writer of a treatise on astrology, in the 5th century, speaking of the influences of the stars on the dispositions of man, says: "If a man is born under Mercury he will give himself to astronomy; if Mars, he will follow the profession of arms; if Saturn, he will devote himself to the science of alchemy (Scientia alchemiae)." The word alchemia which appears in this treatise, was formed by prefixing the Arabic al (meaning the) to chemia, a word, as we have seen, of Greek origin.
