Alchemy and Science
It is true that alchemy is supposed to be an outmoded practice from the middle ages in which the 'chemist' would attempt to translated base metal into gold and look for the elixir of life or the philosopher's stone.
Did you know that prominent scientists such as Isaac Newton and Wolfgang Goethe were prominent alchemists?
Alchemy was it seems taken a lot more seriously than we are led to believe. Recently a film was made about modern alchemy called 'The Chemical Wedding'by Bruce Dickenson ex singer from 'Iron Maiden' In it the professor becomes possessed by the 'spirit of Aleister Crowley, a famous occultist. It is a modern retake on the 'Rosicrucian' document 'the Chymical wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz.
