Alchemy

One of the greatest topics of both modern and classical alchemy with mythical properties. Its said that it can make one immortal, makes gold out of lead and cures all illness, a multitude of wonders. Its almost ridiculous how a artificial stone shall be the solution for mankinds oldest desire and fear, while also being seemingly impossible to create (otherwise the stone would be an mass produced product). In my opinion this is on purpose, its an hint on the true purpose of the stone as an allegory for the unachievable.

Around the turn of the 17th century, Homberg learned from Kunkel how to make white phosphorus. At this time, quite a few other investigators learned about the material and read about the method to make it - charcoal, cinnamon, and urine - heat and stir.

It is the conversion of the "Lead" of base, primal desire into the "Gold" of Awakened Consciousness. This process is happening en masse, even for those who may not be seeking it, as the Frequency of the planet continues to rise," Hermes had a shimmer in his...

"Atlantis? Like the Disney movie?" The man asked Thoth with a jeering laugh. "The Disney movie? Don't you realize... Western accounts of Atlantis stem first from PLATO. more specifically his relative, Solon, who visited Egypt & was found to be quite funny by the Egpytian priests entertained by Solons notion of Greece's antiquity," Thoth said very quickly. "Dont you see... Africa... The Americas... Asia, Ireland, all of these Holy Places.... Truly, the Earth itself & all of its Lands... You're on Atlantis, mate... The Nations seeded by the Mother Culture of Atlantis met similar fates while resisting the Church & Crown hell-bent on eradicating the Truth of this planet... a saga you are seeing come to a conclusion via your runaway political...
