    What is Alchemy?

    Alchemy uses a series of beliefs that I myself practice. Both intuitive and literal observations of matter and the natural world, but it is more focused on artifice.

  • The Keys of Alchemy

    The Keys of Alchemy

    Did alchemists really try to change matter to something else like gold? They experimented with matter to confirm or refute their theories. What were their theories?

  • Reverse Manifestation

    Reverse Manifestation

    To start with, is anyone already familiar with alchemy? What metaphysics is to physics, alchemy is to chemistry, and as much as they might deny it, there are metaphysical assumptions running just as rampant now as there always have been. They just have a different flavour now. They call it “empirical.” An example of such…

  • Chinese Internal Alchemy

    Chinese Internal Alchemy

    Neidan is Chinese internal alchemy. It’s a Taoist practice originally, and has played a fundamental roll in their traditional medicine up to the present day. It could be viewed as a meditative practice, as opposed to waidan, which relates to medicines as we commonly think of them these days, herbs and such. The primary concern…
