An Overview of Alchemy Alchemy is a word that has come to mean, in the popular imagination, the changing of lead into gold. It is true that many historical alchemists have pursued this goal, each with a different motivation. For some, transmutation was an outward sign—dramatic, yet only a sign of inner attainment; for others, it was a demonstration of profound insight into nature. For quite a few others, it was the dream of fast money. And for some, it was a way to bring about peace and prosperity for the many poor and sick. The Basics of Alchemy Here we enter into the body of alchemy—the physical process. Nature must lead both in material and in method. Nature is your true book. Study it well. Take the time to look around, really. Refamiliarize yourself with the matter of the world, the space of the world, and the movement of the world. Find the materials you wish to work with. Get samples of the minerals and metals and begin to study them directly. Start with the raw materials as close to the source as possible. All raw materials should be considered as living and should be processed and worked with clear intent. Think of the difference between a meal prepared with fresh ingredients in season as opposed to one prepared with frozen or stale components.
