| Description |
| Much more than the art of turning base metals into gold, alchemy is a system of cosmic symbolism which can be best understood as a means of achieving one-ness with the world. The alchemist learns how to create within a sealed vessel a model of the universe or of human consciousness, in which the complementary forces symbolized by Male and Female, Sulphur and Mercury, Earth and Air, Fire and Water, attain the perfect synthesis of which gold is the emblem. |
