About Alchemy
(from the Arabic الخيمياء al-khimia)
Alchemy is a philosophical and spiritual art known as the spagyric art from the Greek words meaning to separate and to join together

Alchemy combines elements of chemistry, metallurgy, physics, medicine, astrology, semiotics, mysticism, spiritualism and art

History of Alchemy
Alchemy was practiced for over 2500 years in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, India, China, in Classical Greece and Rome, in the Muslim civilization, and in Europe until the 19th century.

Alchemy the Art
the most well known arts of the Alchemists were:
the transmutation of base metals into gold or silver
the Elixir of Longevity
the search for the Philosophers Stone

Alchemy and Astrology
Alchemy is closely connected to astrology, believing that each of the seven known planets ruled a particular metal. The astrological signs represent the processes. This belief led to the Doctrine of Signatures
