Dating back to the times of antiquity, of ancient Egypt and Greece (and before), to the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, and the secret mystery schools of Goddess sects, healers, and holy temples, alchemy has been around for a long-ass time.

Alchemy is more than a chemical science: it is also a philosophy. It is a belief that through the workings of consciousness one can transcend from base human experience to that of divine illumination.
