Alchemy
When most people think of alchemy, their imaginations usually conjure up images of fraudulent wizard-looking folk, brooding over a boiling cauldron, desperately trying to turn lead into gold. But when you explore the history behind this cultural trope, what is revealed is a profound ancient practice that is still relevant today.
The question most alchemists sought to answer is the question of what we are made of. The question of how we, as humans, hold divinity within us, and how the divine manifests itself on earth, in our own human bodies. It considers the question of where we came from, what the source of life is, and how to decode the secrets of nature.
