The Alchemical Secrets of the Knights of St. John
A Talk by Vincent Bridges
Could the Knights of St. John have inherited the inner secrets of the science of alchemy
from their former rivals in Outremer, the Knights of the Temple? Two of the most famous,
or notorious, of Renaissance alchemists, George Ripley and Cagliostro, claimed to have been
taught the inner secret by the Knights of St. John on Malta. In this lecture we will examine
the traditions and the real science behind the mysterious workings of Alchemy, from its
discovery in ancient Egypt through its golden age in the late Middle Ages and to its climax
and disappearance in the 16th and 17th century. As we follow this twisted thread of science
and magic, we will learn why the island of Malta might just be the world’s best alchemical
training center.
