		While spiritual alchemists speak of the metals as being the seven centers of consciousness within man which correspond to the seven heavens, physical alchemists speak of the seven earthly metals that correspond to the seven planets of the ancients.
		Alchemists continued to study and publish throughout Europe, and a significant number of alchemists were members of the clergy, including Abbots, Bishops and Cardinals.
		Many kings and princes were alchemists, and had their own alchemical laboratories or paid for those of the many alchemists they hired.

	Thyrenacia - Alchemists
		Alchemists use their knowledge of how ichors and compounds combine and rearrange to achieve a wide range of potions and elixirs, which are then sold at extreme prices.
		Alchemists will sometimes offer a healing, only to use the injured for their own arcane experiments, claiming that the healing did not take or that something else went wrong.
		For many continental ‎Ahlimites‎, apprenticeship is the only road out of poverty, and many parents offer their children to Alchemists in the hopes that the youths will be trained.

	Wikinfo \| Alchemy
		In a sense, alchemists, the practitioners of alchemy, can now be regarded as proto-scientists applying a fusion of science, art, and religion to chemical physics, and alchemy can be regarded as the precursor of the modern science of chemistry prior to the formulation of the scientific method.
		The common perception of alchemists is that they were pseudo-scientists who attempted to turn lead into gold, believed all matter was composed of the four elements earth, air, fire, and water, and dabbled around the edges of mysticism and magic.
		Of the many Arab hermetic philosophers, Jabir ibn-Hayyn (Arabic جابر إبن حيان, Medieval Latin Geberus; usually rendered in English as Geber) of the eighth century was the most noteworthy.

		Two intertwined goals sought by many alchemists were the philosopher's stone, a mythical substance which would enable the transmutation of common metals into gold; and the universal panacea, a remedy that would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely.
		The common perception of alchemists is that they attempted to turn lead into gold, believed all matter was composed of the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water, and dabbled around the edges of mysticism and magic.
		The alchemists believed that the whole universe was tending towards a state of perfection; and gold, due to its immunity to decay, was considered to be the most perfect of substances.

		An alchemist's laboratory and oratory (Heinrich Khunrath, 1595)
		Nevertheless, alchemy was one of the main precursors of modern sciences, and many substances and processes of ancient alchemy continue to be the mainstay of modern chemical and metallurgical industries.
		The common perception of alchemists is that they were pseudo-scientists, liars and charlatans, who attempted to turn lead into gold, believing that the universe was composed of the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water, and spent most of their time concocting miraculous remedies, poisons, and magic potions.

		Alchemists of many religions believed that they could understand the will of their god or gods through understanding the world in which they lived.
		Many of the reactions the created used impure mixtures of chemicals that they regarded as a substance not knowing that they were using several different chemicals at once.
		For many alchemists the mixing of chemicals wasn’t as important as the chanting and incantations the said while they made their potions and elixirs.

	Burt Humburg - On the Color Changes in the "Great Work"
		Although many alchemists were motivated by the prospect of wealth they stood to gain from transmuting metals into gold, some were motivated by the ideal of reaching perfection.
		Alchemists, in constructing the color list, were likely to have incorporated their belief that the female was superior to the neuter, and that the male was more perfect than the female.
		Although many dynamics of antifeminism are beyond the scope of this essay, it is interesting to note that results of experiments sometimes required the chemical symbolizing the female to be in dominance over that of the male.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Alchemy
		It was the predecessor of the modern science of chemistry, for the first steps in the development of the modern science were based on the work of the old alchemists.
		Many of the alchemists were earnest seekers after truth, and some of the greatest intellects of their time figure among them.
		Many of the works of the old writers have been preserved, often unintelligible on account of the terminology.

	Joseph's Coat of Many Colors
		Many medieval alchemists were also sufis, and there are many similarities between the two paths of transformation.
		The first is the coat of many colors--which suggests the idea of a dappled cloth or the medieval jester's costume made of patches or motley.
		In many texts-like the story of Solomon and Sheba, or the Song of Songs--the White Queen of the alchemical marriage is portrayed as a fertile fl virgin, ready to be impregnated.

	Alchemy
		To the alchemist, the world was composed of an almost infinite number of interrelationships, which could be classified as either sympathetic or antipathetic or in other words, a world of attraction and repulsion.
		Many historians of science believe that Indian alchemy went from a focus on practical matters such as the making of medicine into the realm of deviant magic.
		In Europe, alchemists found themselves in trouble because of the linkage of their "magic" with witchcraft and the age old problems that many were swindlers with a get rich quick scheme that was too good to be true.

	Alchemy
		It is misunderstood by many because when hearing the purpose for transmutation of metals, transforming base metals such as copper and iron into gold, they are inclined to think alchemists were men trying to get rich quick.
		However, on the whole, this was not true; many alchemists were serious minded men practicing their art, or science as they referred to it; however, there were frauds and charlatans.
		The alchemist were thinking of this malleable material like a new seed of a plant; when the plant dies it turns to seed, the feed germinates in the ground giving birth to a new plant.

	Our Sephardic Medical Roots
		Many were professionally successful, but with very few exceptions they were not in the forefront of emerging new medical ideas being exponents of the prevailing Galenic old-school.
		Many others believed that alchemy was not only a reasonable method of healing but perhaps the best way and, like scientific medicine, was understood as a way of restoring nature's perfect state.
		Many alchemists saw themselves as healers and in addition to making gold, made potions and salves which they claimed had curative powers and.

	Alchemy - Crystalinks
		By Renaissance times, many alchemists believed that the spiritual purification was necessary in order to achieve the mundane transformations of metals.
		The alchemist added the action on metals of a number of corrosive salts, mainly the vitriols (copper and iron sulfates), alums (the aluminum sulfates of potassium and ammonium), and the chlorides of sodium and ammonium.
		The fact that immortality was so desirable and the alchemist correspondingly valued enabled the British historian of science Joseph Needham to tabulate a series of Chinese emperors who probably died of elixir poisoning.

	Alchemy - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		To understand the alchemists, it is helpful to consider how wonderfully magical the conversion of one substance into another, which had formed the basis of metallurgy since its inception at the end of the Neolithic, would seem in a culture with no formal understanding of physics or chemistry.
		Alchemy in the Western World and other locations where it was widely practiced was (and in many cases still is) closely allied and intertwined with traditional Babylonian-Greek style astrology; in numerous ways they were built to complement each other in the search for hidden knowledge.

		Many later writers on alchemy believed that these goals of alchemy were in fact a metaphor for a spiritual transformation of the self.
		Modern science has taken the view that to understand the alchemists, it is helpful to consider how wonderfully magical the conversion of one substance into another, which had formed the basis of metallurgy since its inception at the end of the Neolithic, would seem in a culture with no formal understanding of physics or chemistry.
		As the obscure—hermetic, of course—language of the alchemists is gradually being "deciphered", historians are becoming more aware of the intellectual connections between that discipline and other facets of Western cultural history, such as the Rosicrucian society and other mystic societies, witchcraft, and of course the evolution of science and philosophy.

	Alchemy, Alchemical Fire and the Hermetic Art
		The alchemist became a recognizable figure on the European scene, and kings and nobles often supported alchemists in the hope of increasing their resources.
		Alchemists were the first to isolate a number of chemicals, from phosphorus to hydrochloric acid, and they also developed new equipment and methods for distilling fluids, assaying metals, and controlling chemical reactions.
		And since true alchemists had selected as one of their goals the betterment of the human condition, it was a logical next step for them to apply their chemical skills to the field of medicine.

	Alchemy, Jung, and transformation?
		For many of these alchemists, the alchemical process had become that of bringing about a mysterious corresponding inner transformation process within the human psyche.
		Because these earliest alchemists were imaginatively experimenting strictly with physical matter - they were not bound in their imaginations and/or experiments by codified, religious doctrines regarding what was acceptable to "experiment" with and what was not.
		Many modern day alchemists (and, yes, they do exist) are less than thrilled and/or enthusiastic with what they perceive as Jung reducing the transformational alchemical process into a "mere psychological process." What occurs to me is that at least some of Jung's alchemically minded critics just don't "get it."

		For their lives indisputably prove that the alchemists were occupied with chemical operations on the physical plane, and that for whatever motive they toiled to discover a method for transmuting the commoner metals into actual, material gold.
		The alchemists, however, were not always consistent in their use of the term "spirit." Sometimes (indeed frequently) they employed it to denote merely the more volatile portions of a chemical substance; at other times it had a more interior significance.

	Greek Alchemical History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		There are not many writings from this time in alchemistry, and the records that remain are hard to translate from heiroglyphs.
		Zosimos was an alchemist who wrote many books, and was looked upon as one of the greatest alchemists.
		This idea is what kept alchemy alive through many difficult periods, and was also the driving force behind many alchemists' practices.

		Many European alchemists had clerical training, so some were inclined to attribute certain results to the actions of invisible demons, while others indulged in philosophical speculations about the nature of the universe.
		Many theorized that a universal catalyst was the secret to this transmutation.
		Novice alchemists have a limited, low-quality stone, but with effort it can be improved, usually by trading with other alchemists and university scholars.

	Magi
		Alchemy and physics are closely related and were once thought to be the same, but much to the astonishment of the early alchemists, they discovered that many physical objects are not alchemical (and later discovered that the reverse was true, as well).
		They found it particularly surprising that many physical objects that seemed to possess the properties of one or more alchemical elements did not actually contain those elements.
		The existence of such a law has caused many alchemists to wonder whether the elements are really as independent as has formerly been thought.

		As early as in Zhou Dynasty to Eastern Han Dynasty many internal alchemists and hermits longed for seeking a hermitage place deep in Mt. Wudang to start their practice.
		The emperors, to make Mt. Wudang more prominent and represent royal stateliness, granted many many titles as “Grand Mountain Super Harmony,””Mysterious Mountain Super Harmony,””Administrating World Mysterious Mountain,” etc., in an aim to make it the number one mountain under the heaven, which can be qualified to become the court temple for better control.
		Ever since then the Dragon Door sect became the mainstream of Wudang Taoism and many Taoists were disciples of the sect.
