The thing is that alchemy combines both elemnts of proto-science AND philosophy, which many people forget about because they tend to label it from a chemistry point of view.
The funny thing is bickering over names and labels is like the current preferred pronoun trend. At the end of the day all the pronoun people are men, women, human. No matter what label were slapped on them. Alchemists were mystics. Those who wannabe alchemists and didn't even know what the true prize was are what many now call full metal alchemists.
Anyone who believes that Alchemy is about any physical outcomes has completely misunderstood the whole point of this "science", as has been mentioned below. It is a spiritual path, and no wonder that the Church tried to outlaw it. If you want to understand a bit what Alchemy ACTUALLY is about, go look up Max Derrat's channel.
Mastering spiritual alchemy you also master physical reality. Yes you do so 100% in the spiritual as you mentioned but it does have solid actual physical outcomes. In fact if that is your intention it has 100% cause and effect physical outcomes. @@LegionL-A
Jesus while call Peter, telling not many will understand my alegories. But I tell you transformation is happing within body. Biochemistry. This is little higher level. No worries, you won't naturaly stop eating meat to create adecvate condition within. Have you seen Noah. Animal desire, toxic digestive juices that poison your solar plexus as Bethlehem. First born only from age of 12. Also 7th grade. That's why Victorian school system begin so soon. They took it from. So wedding. You marry nature, mother and wife. Tesla - phi geon. Vortex ring. Love
It’s interesting how with quantum mechanics we’ve discovered that it could theoretically be possible to change any metal into gold since all materials are made of the same atoms. Maybe these alchemists deserve more credit than they get. It’s a shame that so much of what they did, and the ancient knowledge they may have had, have been lost to history.
Yes, i remember the same thing you said happen in Nuclear stuff, radioactivity. Perhaps they already know it is possible to do, however with their current technology, energy usage, tools, etc. The best they can do to achieve changing material is boiling, combining or burning them, which is not enough, since they at least need to be able to touch atom first before touching quark and the likes.
It is absolutely possible in theory to turn lead into gold, or anything into anything else, in modern science. As you said, the fundamental bits are common between all elements. However, the energy and entropy requirements to make it happen are so large you'd spend more money making it happen than you would gain from the change. And by "spend more money," I mean that the total amount of money spent would be so large, the total market value of the original lead and the market value of the resulting gold would be a small rounding error on the insane fortune you just dropped trying to make it happen.
Trying to research alchemy for use in fantasy fiction is definitely alot of sifting through confusing texts. You do present the overview rather clearly.
When it comes to the Alkahest, it works on things that are alchemically alive. I;m not sure if glass is considered dead or just inert, but it is safe to assume that glass would be seen this way because it isn't natural. If glass were to be made via nature, kind of like when lightning hits sand, it would be a different story. Info from Jean Dubuis' Spagyrics Course - Philosophers of Nature.

This is actually how I overcame debilitating-paralyzing panic attacks and PTSD flashbacks... As the overwhelming panic and flashbacks would arise in me, I would pretend I was so excited and so happy. And it worked! Now not only am I completely in love and totally free... I am also a master at alchemy!🔥❤🔥✨🙏🏼
Chrysopoeia is simply the process of educating one's heart and mind. Purification of base metals to gold simply means the purification of the impure mind to pure consciousness...
U got it ,it is not transforming actual metals to gold physically.also it is not pure consciousness, alchemy is always internal ,an secret practice that transforms ur body fluids to higher quality so u can live in physical body indefinitely. So it is not real metals, mind ,consciousness these r the teachings of Fake spitual men.
@@udayakumar3848 I mean, alchemy is really allegorical. It is about mental transmutation. As opposed to what you've said, as an occultist myself, it's about the mind and the consciousness.
@@orencikensoleta414 good ,u have decided already. I say one can see, God the creator, All say they can only feel god. Likewise alchemy can be seen as evidence, even it happens inside, turning lead to gold, philosophers stone r real ,not imagination, physically u can see and touch. . attaining pure consiousness is preparation for alchemy, it's is matter of mind,alchemy is related to physical body🙏 This is my small experience, if u have any experience in consciousness pls share. So I can improve my aalchemy 🙏
Nice graphics! The alchemist like Isaac Newton was a member of a secret society. They use alchemy (turning led into gold) as a metaphor on knowing the inner-self. They were also the Gnostics who hid their wisdom under the guise of alchemy because the Catholic church that time will burn them at the stake. I enjoy watching your animation. Keep it up!
We have actually turned lead into gold by accidet, but the result is so radioactive it's useless. I can't remember my source so take it with a pinch of salt (or whatever alchemical compound you prefer).
wow i cant believe your channel is so small. here is hoping you grow big. Your videos are amazingly good. Informative and entertaining as well. Liked and subscribed!
This was very professionally made! The quality of your videos seems to be very good. The only thing I would suggest is to add your sources in the description.
Mate, I never comment on my own account but I just wanted to thank you - amazing selection of topics, great narritive style and genuinely helpful animation / presentation. Best of luck with the channel mate - Whendover Creations beware!!
alchemy is also the origin of one of the most important symbols in all of rock music, the so-called "ZOSO" from the legendary fourth album by Led Zeppelin. idk what it stood for, but Page got it straight from an old alchemical text. and countless kids drew it on their notebooks for decades to come.
That's because Led Zeppelin know about real alchemy, this is not real alchemy. The real alchemy is spiritual alchemy where you turn base melats ( base consciousness) into gold ( higher consciousness). Charlatans always tried to alchemy for material gain.
Perhaps the music of lead zeppelin was the final product of the alchemical work? interesting to reflect on how for over a millennium all those alchemists just needed an electric guitar and the sonorous vocals of robert plant. zeppelin rule!
Where did you get that spelling of Tycho Brahe at 5:56 ? Considering he's Danish, "Taiko" doesn't seem like a possible alternative spelling. The only alternatives I've found are "Tyge" and "Tychonis" (latinized version for his works).
While much of alchemy represented the pursuit of (most likely) impossible goals, there is really something to be said about synthesizing knowledge from a wide variety of disciplines to make progress.
Amazing video, very informative! I love the medieval styled soundtrack. Alchemy is an amazing subject. Although maybe a small correction at 5:53 is Tycho Brahe isn't it? The Danish astronomer with his legendary Uranienborg and Stjerneborg. I can't believe they destroyed both. ;(
I'm new to alchemy so correct me if I'm wrong, I understand it stems a lot from Christianity so could the whole Last Supper water into wine (elixir of life) in the bible be linked with alchemy potenitally?
Based on the color changes and description of the Stone, one could argue that the Philosopher's Stone is actually a coffee bean! The caffeine from said bean could be viewed as a great motivator to get up and live.
They werent scientist at all thier works was way deeper than just knowing our earth. The works were just books, and past knowledge they learnt. It's not made up. The Egyptians, Chinese back then seem way more knowledgeable than ppl today.
Yo, yo yo, I think I made philosopher stone as a kid, I did everything required but I didn't know until now, but then I was just being a literal dumbass and had mixed a ton of SpongeBob bath wash in a cup and had it in my room in the sun and it was hot AF in there and it went through a few stages and eventually it ended up blue and looked like how stone looked but blue
I made it by accident and didn’t know anything. But the result of the stone itself brought almost unlimited cognitive ability. As most things(all things actually) it oscillates in power. Must be actively cultivated.
What would knowing this do for a person personally . Certain knowledge carries some power, if one needs. But this particular knowledge what practical use has it.
"Gold was synthesized from mercury by neutron bombardment in 1941, but the isotopes of gold produced were all radioactive. In 1924, a German scientist, Adolf Miethe, accomplished the same feat. In 1980, Glenn Seaborg transmuted several thousand atoms of bismuth into gold at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory."
I love music in background while I record, but i dont like the echo records, it just makes me not be able to hear clear, like the normal instrument would. He likes no sound to record and edit the instrument as he go or placed to his words. ❤
Itd not like no one bother to look up,but we cant!! Its one of the fobidden places in the world....so there is maybe some real truth tht be hidden from us...
People notice. I know what alchemists are. I personally disagree with the methodology. Occult science involves dealing with supernatural forces. Those forces generally share knowledge at a cost to the recipient. The cost is too great for me personally. Madness and a loss of humanity has been the fate of many alchemists. It would be wise to avoid a similar fate. Is the pursuit of knowledge worth the cost of your soul? This is a valid question to ask when dealing with alchemy.
Not that I necessarily believe in Alchemy, but I do wonder what modern science can accomplish with the idea of alchemy. I mean we use chemical compounds to protect metals from fire, so why not try using chemistry to improve existing materials. Unless there’s already a science doing that and I’m totally lost, if there is I’d like to learn more about it.
Alchemical Healing is Pure Magic! It does exist. If it is applied the right way. It will return one to their very core. We are Energy and when you awaken that energy. Beautiful things start to happen.
You forgot to mention the ancient australian aborigines... alchemy has been a part of our lore system for 40,000 yrs ! Thats how we are the oldest continuing civilisation. 😊

It didn’t start in Egypt it started in Kemet. By the time it became egypt most universities and scriptures were lost or and destroyed

I am so glad Alchemy remains to this day intact with the same ideas since the beginning of it. is if alchemy is its own element.
alchemy is also the origin of one of the most important symbols in all of rock music, the so-called "ZOSO" from the legendary fourth album by Led Zeppelin. idk what it stood for, but Page got it straight from an old alchemical text. and countless kids drew it on their notebooks for decades to come.

Your videos are great inspiration for me as I do world building for my TTRPG settings. Thank you.
Great introduction to the subject, it's funny how a lot of modern science is based on things people learned while working towards an impossible goal.
While much of alchemy represented the pursuit of (most likely) impossible goals, there is really something to be said about synthesizing knowledge from a wide variety of disciplines to make progress.
I like the way you said..... Respect
Amazing video, very informative! I love the medieval styled soundtrack. Alchemy is an amazing subject.
Although maybe a small correction at
5:53 is Tycho Brahe isn't it? The Danish astronomer with his legendary Uranienborg and Stjerneborg.
I can't believe they destroyed both. ;(
I had half completed the book "The Alchemist" And I also have a small interest in it

Small correction: it's Tycho Brahe not Taiko Brahe. He was Danish, not Japanese
