Fuck off with the creating gold via hocus-pocus bullshit, that's not what Alchemy is about. That's the story repeated to us over and over again by our corrupt authority figures and their mass media propaganda, social and schooling programs.

ANY TIME THE SUBJECT OF ALCHEMY IS BROUGHT UP IT'S LEAD INTO GOLD IN YOUR FACE OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

Probably because alchemy had 2 primary goals...

Elixir of immortality

...and...

Transmuting base metals into gold

Considering there were only 2 goals... I'm not surprised to see one of them mentioned often... why are you?

Bullshit "...and..." bullshit.

Don't call it bullshit without providing an alternative explanation... that just makes you look retarded

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy

Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" (e.g., lead) into "noble" ones (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent

I suppose I forgot there was a 3rd goal... a universal solvent

If you want to say Alchemy has two goals then they're knowledge and the application of knowledge. "As above so below" is the motto so-to-speak.

The problem with alchemy is that it is a complete failure

Alchemy is to Chemistry as Astrology is to Astronomy

Alchemy is bullshit... Astrology is bullshit...

Got it?

That image on the left signifies the birth, death and resurrection of Christ.  The green lion is a separate image.  The green lion was a metaphor for something that was sought by alchemists - an elixir of life - a elixir that would heal any sickness.

Sorry dude but that's "not even wrong".


The Green Lion is a 3^rd mostly invisible celestial object in our sky also known as the Black Sun, it's also what causes eclipses.

 The green lion was a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.  The sun in that image represents gold and the green lion is dissolving it.

You're full of shit dude.

  Clearly it is a surreal image we are discussing and there may be more than one meaning behind it.  That being said, Alchemists believed that there was a seed from which gold could be grown and that by dissolving and purifying the gold, they could find that seed.  The thought that the "base" metals could be converted to gold.  Considering that the image is taken from the "Rosarium Philosophorum", it would make sense that it has something to do with alchemy/chemistry and less to do with astrology/astronomy.  

Fuck off with the creating gold via hocus-pocus bullshit, that's not what Alchemy is about. That's the story repeated to us over and over again by our corrupt authority figures and their mass media propaganda, social and schooling programs.

 I believe the pretext to this coversation was the symbolism in the image of the green lion eating the sun.  I can't say I've ever felt like Pb into Au was pushed in my face by authority figures corrupt or otherwise.  Maybe I don't hang out in the right places?  I've never viewed alchemy as anything other than a protoscience.  It was the precursor to modern chemistry.
I didn't realize anyone would still be so passionate about Alchemy.  I apologize if I have offended you as it was "not even my intention".

The pretext was a page from a Gnostic manuscript depicting the crucifixion of Jesus and featuring Mary & the Green Lion.



Oh, and no apologies are needed, anytime somebody is wrong on the internet.

religion is the basic element of life, i think with our religion the life is just like a car without a driver. religions tell a person about the meaning and purpose of live.  a person can lead a life for a specific reason. so life is the most important element of life.

i cannot agree with you,maybe because im an atheist.
I prefer to know how the man have evolved,how it really happened.
Religion for me is only like " believe it or not,you are nothing compared to the god " .
 I dont like any of the religions i know,lol maybe except jedi

Religion, the unlimited wealth of a leaders to be come a millionaire in our country,
Religion usually has to do with man's relationship to the unseen world, to the world of spirits, demons, and gods. A second element common to all religions  is the term salvation. All religions seek to help man find meaning in a universe which all too often appears to be hostile to his interests. The world salvation means, basically, health. It means one is saved from disaster, fear, hunger, and a meaningless life. It means one is saved for hope, love, security, and the fulfillment of purpose.
