Currently I'm exploring Paracelsus' worldview especially as it pertains to both Rosicrucianism
I listened to a great Frater Acher interview about Paracelsus and the "Inner Firmament". I'm pretty sure it was Glitch Bottle #123 (titled Holy Heretics, but that book is not on Paracelsus. His book Ingenium is the Paracelsus one) (this is probably what you're literally reading right now, but I figured I'd mention just in case you hadn't seen it)

there's also a few essays on his website

oops, okay so Ingenium is the MAIN Paracelsus one, but Holy Heretics is also (I'm only halfway through HH but I just went and read the blurb because I was correctly doubting myself)

From the Holy Heretics blurb:
Next Acher considers Paracelsus, giving a full English translation of his little known Arcanum arcanorum, a celestial rite to summon both one’s holy daimon and the seven Olympic spirits with such a bell. The rite is expertly deciphered, from its use of alchemical tincture to its astrological timing, by following clues across the Paracelsian and Pseudo-Paracelsian corpus. The work culminates with Frater Acher’s restored version of the Ritual of the Olympic Spirit, opening the gates of the seven spirits and uniting them into one greater Olympic Spirit.

Ok, I applied.
Title: Magic: The Engineering of Coincidence
Description:
Can magic and science ever be reconciled?
Robert Ramsay has spent thirty years finding out and thinks he can present his findings in under an hour. A whirlwind tour of relativity, quantum physics, entropy and chaos theory. And some real magic.

I have to thank you folks for finally giving me the push to apply.
Well, I got the email this morning - I am giving my talk "Magic is the Engineering of Coincidence" on Monday 12th August at Worldcon in Glasgow!

Now I just need to finish writing the presentation!

Thanks again folks for your support!
