Before i die i want to study many things like religions and philosphy and things of old... one thing im interested in is Alchemy.. i was wondering if anyone knows anything about it and would be willing to share waht they know with me. as to further expand my knowldge
i suggest you read the satanic bible. there is a lot about most religions and a lot about alchemy. explaining what it is and the laws of such. its really good. ill send you some quotes when i have time if you wish.
as far as I have found very little useful info has been put down about classical alchemy....but mostly it is magical science....as far as I could tell...very hard to find info on
What i know about alchemy was that it was basicly working on the idea of turning base metals into gold or other valuable substances. There was a scientist in the 1700's who would collect urine from the army and store it in his basement in an attempt to aid his alchemy, he seemed to think that the colour of the urine may effect the outcome of his trials, although he didnt make gold he did discover ammonia.
Check out this website, i dont know how accurate it is but its worth a try.

Very nice ElderDan. i was wateing for some one to put up some site links like yours. like twilight_lex, i too am interested in past religions and alchemy. but all i have found is the stuff i have red in the Satanic Bible. (which i might add is nothing about satanism. its more about the truths of life really. its really good.) i have been considering becomeing a studant of Alchemy. but was lacking info. hopefully i can now get new info and begin my studies. thanks.
try the acarcist cookbook its got every thing fun/destructive in it
if you mean the anarchist cookbook it is ok...but a great deal of the info in it is rather outdated since they have not put out an update on it since the early 80's
it is a fun yet destructive book tho
