Alchemy is an ancient branch of natural science and the medieval predecessor of modern chemistry. Alchemy was an ancient practice originally kept shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Ancient alchemy science was based on theory of transformation of matter with three main goals – to find the Stone of Knowledge ” The Philosopher’s Stone”, to discover the secret of Eternal Youth and Health, and to experiment with the transmutation of metals hoping to turn base metals into gold or silver.
Solve et coagula takes on a deeper meaning as illumnination unfolds in the ancient hermetic science of alchemy. All obscurity flees from thee as the words of Hermes state in the emerald tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. The alchemist has flung open the gates of nature allowing for a deeper study indicate the alchemical writings of Michael Sendivogius and or his mentor Alexander Seton. Opposites unite in the white foliated earth known as Rosa Alba in the white phase of alchemy. In Nicholas Flamel’s letter to his nephew he indicated it had taken him years to figure out how to unite these two luminaries causing them to become one. A heavenly spirit manifested in an earthly body. Whiteness is the symbol of purity. Rosa Alba the White Rose of Alchemy is associated with the union of opposites, the tree of life and the white hare making the elixir of life on the moon. It is known by the moon symbol in alchemy.
What is the white Philosopher’s Stone of Alchemy?
According to some ancient or medieval alchemical texts, the philosopher’s stone came in two varieties, prepared by an almost identical method: The white philosopher’s stone was rumored to be for making silver. There was also said to be a red philosopher’s stone for the purpose of alchemy gold making,with the white philosopher’s stone being a less matured version of the red philosopher’s stone. Philosopher stones in ancient hermetic alchemy were also sometimes described as a powder, or an oil.

alchemy and the green lion: the truth of the philosophers stone book.
Alchemy and the green lion was rewritten march, 20, 2016 and republished after many inquiries pertaining to an updated version of this modern alchemical treatise since years have passed and seasons have changed as we have progressed in our life long journey towards the alchemical sun. Nature strives to perfect all things through evolution both below as well as above the earth’s crust and so it is the same with us as God set forth in his book to let all things be fruitful and multiply in like kind. Those who walk this road travel the same path and step the same stones. Alchemy is a journey, the depth and scope of which perhaps no mans knows but God alone. It is a journey of enlightenment and ascension as we awaken and begin to evolve towards perfection.

What is alchemy?
Alchemy has been known since ancient times and consists of three basic realms or kingdoms which are known as plant, animal and mineral. Each of these three primary areas of hermetic alchemy is said to have a basic stone associated with it. These stones are sometimes referred to as philosopher’s stones. Lapis animalis, Lapis vegetabilis and Lapis mineralis are but a few of the alchemical names that have been associated with these alchemy stones. Below the basic vegetable stone lie various herbal tinctures alchemically prepared with materials from the plant realm. The word VITRIOL is common in alchemy and seems to be associated with The term visit the interior of the earth and by rectification find the occult lapis. There however is more than one type of “earth” encountered in alchemy. As concerns the realm of the metals alchemists usually chose a metallic ore or metal specimen of some type and then worked upon it with a liquid dissolving agent of which there were three main types. In ancient alchemy as depicted in the actum leyden letter and some writings attributed to the alchemist Friederich Gualdus, a seawater menstuum is alluded to involving water from the sea processed in different ways for purification and strength, sometimes modified by adding sea salt to vinegar and this was supposed to resolve metals back into their first matter and theoretically make them start growing again as living crystals. Vinegar later became the focus of metal acetate paths in alchemy which eventually gave way to acids. Acid and metal to burn off impurities, dissolve and coagulate into something called vitriol. These coincide with the seven planetary metals in alchemy which after being alchemically processed might be reduced into “stones” called vitriol. Alchemy gemstones hypothically speaking could have been based on such things as carbon, silica, and even vitriol made from metals or minerals. Alchemists were rumored to have an alkahest or universal dissolving agent to assist this process with the old axiom “solve et coagula” or dissolve and coagulate.

What does the word alchemy mean? “al” appears to be an old term for “the” and “chemy” equals “secret thing” so according to my research alchemy means “the secret thing”. Article written by Steven School. Author of Alchemy and the green lion.
