Alchemical Dream - Terence McKenna Documentary
WWW.ALCHEMICALDREAM.TK
In the mid-1990's Terence McKenna and Mystic Fire's Sheldon Rocklin teamed up to make this rich and exciting film. Little did they know that this
would be their last film. Originally titled Coincidencia Oppositorum: The Unity of Opposites and filmed in Prague with Terence portraying his usual
erudite rendition of the Irish Bard, this filmed classic takes us on a journey into the alchemical renaissance of King Frederick V and his wife Queen
Elizabeth of Bohemia. Playing the role of John Dee, court magician for Queen Elizabeth of England, Terence McKenna shows us how the promise of a
return to the tradition of alchemy was almost instituted in Europe. He also shows us that this early attempt at the creation of an alchemical kingdom
actually lead to the European Renaissance and the institution of Cartesian science and the beginnings of rationalism within the western mindset. This
incredible film is not only beautifully filmed but is Terence McKenna’s finest performance and a worthy eulogy to his genius.
It sounds incredible, but in this film, McKenna outlines the political economic and alchemical history of Europe and the entire hermetic tradition
virtually from it’s inception to the 17th Century. Like all skilled storytellers, he draws the viewer along with him into a half known world of
intrigue, espionage and mystery. The background scenery is gorgeous and the film is stunning in it’s cinematography. With this film, the viewer
get’s more than expected. It is truly a legacy for modern mankind from both the creative minds of Terence McKenna, Sheldon Rochlin and the
perseverance of Morgan Harris
