About alchemy
“ A single definition of alchemy is always hard to agree on, since it is a discipline that works on many different levels. We now understand that it was not only a precursor of chemistry but also of psychology, medicine, and even quantum physics. It’s been described as the Philosophy of Fire, the Art of Transformation, the Science of Soul, and in many other ways. Unquestionably, alchemy is the oldest science, yet it is also part of our religious and spiritual traditions. And it is magic too, just like any future science based on hidden principles would be magic to those not familiar with it. “
