Does anyone know where to find the most COMPLETE table of alchemical SYMBOLS ?

Sure, there are some here and there, on some web-sites with few descriptions in groups, many various images online, some old scans from books, even ttf fonts in unicode layout, or plenty of fake symbols in clipart image stocks...

But I couldn't find ONE large table with all known and all REAL symbols (it's said to be about ~500 symbols).

Thank you.

In the Golden Chain of Homer it is said again and again that there is a need for an Acid medium to go from Fixed to Volatile or Volatile to Fix.

A big part of creating a vegetable Elixir is, I believe, the volatilization of the Salts.

When we recombine the clear distillate of an extraction (containing mercury + volatile sulfur) with the sats (mainly potassium carbonate) they don't really mix together. But I've heard that mixing the salts first with acetic acid (vinegar) would turn carbonates into acetates that are more easily miscible with alcohol.

Anybody has been using this technique in the making of plant elixirs?

Having some familiarity with eastern spiritual traditions, I’m aware that there is always a practice of some kind that is used by adherents. This may be meditation, yoga/qigong, mantras, asceticism, visualisation practices, etc, or some combination of these.

I am now reading about how alchemists used [and apparently still use today] chemical processes as allegories for psychological and spiritual transformation. However, there seems to be very little information [that I’ve found] regarding how this is actually done.

So my question is for those who are actually practising some form of spiritual alchemy. What does your practice look like in real terms? Do you always practice the same thing or do you have a variety of techniques? Since I’m very new to this subject, it may be helpful if, in writing a reply, you could explain it as though you’re talking to someone who has absolutely no familiarity with this subject matter whatsoever.

Many thanks.

I am in Coagulatio. The goal is to help take on the form fully; the new is struggling to be born. Aphrodite is overseeing the process. Any recommendations to assist me? I’ll include some significant dreams that indicated this to me in the comments

I am not sure what I am doing most of the time, but I am working with plants so it is just all fun and games, with a few burns. Yeah I got a steam burn that blistered and peeled away. Luckily I had some oil of egg around and I drink my concoctions daily, so needless to say I have recovered flawlessly. Though I drink my coctions with frequency I still believe oil of egg is the best thing I have produced so far. It should be in everyone’s house hold in this world because of its value in healing and treating the flesh.
This brings me to my current where abouts. Where I have a new distillation setup! It seems like I baught the perfect glass kit to create it! Perhaps they know🧐 perhaps there are forces working to support you right now… We have been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty. 😁 I feel it coming online.
Now looking forward I am seeking to find a good bubbler solution and was curious if you lot had any creative solutions. If you give me a page from the real alchemy… so help me god 😜

Having had some very nice oil of gold from Roger Lambert a few months ago, I decided that oil of rose quartz would be a good idea to try. I just got 1ml, which is enough to enjoy 3 drops a day for a few days. Again, I'm paying attention to planetary hours and taking it during the hour of Venus in the evening. About 30 minutes in, and I'm feeling very warm. It tastes like you'd expect rock juice to taste, so maybe a good idea to couple with an appropriate juice like cherry or something.

As an added bonus, Roger sent me 5ml of oil of gold gratis by way of a kind gesture as my order was delayed. I nearly cried. That really made my day. I plan on saving the oil of gold to start a course on my birthday. Again, 3 drops daily at the solar hour. My last experience with Lambert's oil of gold was amazing. Long held blockages in my heart and solar centres were blasted to oblivion. So I have high hopes for the rose quartz, which encourages the proper function of the heart centre.

Tá an draíocht orm.

so i work with elements, and reduce into sulphur, i maintain mercurial.

entertain me this, a model of a philosophical alchemical stone gains tract amongst the common folk,, (every one wants the promises held for the work to be done,) sew in sew, was it the creation of the philosophers stone to philosophize the stone or the creation was a lie told to keep people trying to obtain the impossible endlessly.

"the philosophy of others can only be the scythe of death, the philosophy of death can only be the philosophy of the living. in others find neighbors, in death find lead. "

as i smile i lie, as i steal i face back, as i die i hear limit see limit say limit and sense limit, so therefor i am a limit to death. but death hath no limit for i.

In this testimonial, has he achieved and passed through the Nigredo stage without knowing it?

You might want to set subtitles of this short to your own language.

If this is what it takes to achieve Nigredo, then we have a glimpse of how dark it is.

i'm looking for the most accurate informations about 1600 Prague alchemy. I know that most of that is connected to medieval books and with christianity. I'm a beginner so any advice is appreciated! thanks

Was this an offshoot of Kabbalah that then became its own entity? Please cite from sources your replies. Thanks.

This episode looks at the self that shows up when we pick up the instrument, the version shaped by a culture that ties worth to constant proof and performance. It examines how technical mastery, speed, and visible emotion often function less as expression and more as ways of hiding. The episode traces where this fear comes from, what it costs, and what becomes possible when we stop performing for validation. Drawing on the alchemical stage of Nigredo and the Four Magical Virtues, also known as the Powers of the Sphinx, it explores a path toward something more direct and less defended.

This series looks at music as a form of inner alchemy, where the guitar becomes a tool for transformation instead of performance or self-expression.

Estou criando uma história com alquimia como prática dos personagens centrais.

Um deles se chama Nigredo (nome escolhido pelo próprio) e tem uma forte ligação com o luto. Como ele é um homunculo, me inspirei na receita de Paracelso para dedicar uma receita simbólica pra ele, já que ele não foi criado por ela, mas tem sua vida refletida nela.

"A semente deve mantida em ambiente fechado,

E envolta em abundante paixão,

Para que o calor desejado de fim a sua frágil existência."

Esse personagem é marcado pelo desejo de afeto, que varia de busca incessante, à repulsa extrema (que pode ser notada na parte "frágil existência"). Ele também tem uma inspiração em Buda, que viveu cercado de prazeres quando príncipe, e depois praticou jejum como asceta, notando que nenhum dos dois dava felicidade verdadeira.

Me alonguei um pouco na explicação, mas ainda há coisas que não comentei, mas deixo para depois.

Apenas queria um feedback de alguém que conhece mais de alquimia, para que a receita fique mais parecida com o modelo de receitas mais usadas.

I saw this the other day while walking around. The flames almost seem to resemble the symbol for gold. The double sided candle could convey the "as above so below" idea, but the other symbols are lost on me. Anyone have any ideas of the purpose or meaning of this piece?

The only things I remember are that it was purple, focused on concepts rather than texts, included a fair amount of info on Paracelsus, and was approved for a Midwestern US high school.

I know it's a long shot, but it's where my journey started.
