Stories tell of the foolishness of the seekers of gold making, missing out on the true nature of alchemy. The beginning of today’s chemistry, physics, pharmaceutical and philosophical studies, among others, alchemy also included occult subjects such as the metaphysical; the careful study of nature and the self for the transmutation of the soul.
While alchemy could empower its practitioners to create new solutions to timely problems, an alchemist’s mind could be inspired towards political ideals, educational systems, architectural creations, or even medicinal concoctions. When it came to medicines, some alchemists would choose to work with herbs and organic formulas, while others preferred the inorganic world of stones and their silent powers.
Passed down from generation to generation, the occult knowledge of the magnetism and resonance of stones has been kept by some, for the benefit of all.
