- The Philosophers' Stone of Alchemy is truly the stuff of legend. It is said to have the power to transmute lead to gold, heal sickness, prolong life - even allow one to speak with angels. But what is the origin and nature of this marvelous alchemical stone? How was it produced? In this episode, I explore the origins, history and the process by which the stone of the philosophers is said to be produced.

It's wonderful to find someone who's fascinated by this stuff while also being deeply skeptical of it.
Dr. Sledge has the Midas touch because everything he releases is alchemical gold.
I had never seen the material explanation for the sulphur-mercury theory. Seems so strange to us now but once we reconstruct their experiments it seems very intuitive. Great lecture as always, Professor!
Yeah it really makes a ton of empirical sense
I would pay money to see these experiments replicated and reconstructed
Never get tired of lectures on alchemy, especially by you Dr. Sledge
I’m not sure Jung meant that they were consciously trying to be spiritual, but that their understanding of physical and spiritual were less separate than our own and thus would naturally overlap. But obviously I cannot speak for Jung or the alchemists. Regardless your videos are great, keep it up!
Love when you cover alchemical topics!! do more please
Oh yes, many, many more incoming!
The beautiful thing about alchemy for me is not the results but tapping into the correct mental zone they were thinking from. Ive put at least 150 hrs in listening to seriously dorky stuff but I can say its changed my way of thinking
As always, I am in awe of the depth of your knowledge and how you are able to explain such a dense and often baroque body of philosophical work in such an engaging way. Thank you.
14:33 Whenever this Brabant Thaler was shown in a previous episode, I went online to find out more about it. I didn’t find much, but I DID see it was for sale, so I bought it. It’s a very cool coin, and the gold tint is far more apparent in person than the images can do justice.
That's really cool - I thought about getting it and when I decided to - it was gone. Glad you got it!
I think this has been my outmost favorite video on your channel. So deep and clear!! Thank you so much!!
29:06 I was thinking it as you listed it.
Such a dazzling distillation of things I have been reading about, trying to make sense of, for years!
I've always assumed the stone was an allegory for innovation/technology.
Adore this channel. Thank you, Esoterica.
Right, the precipitation of knowledge or wisdom.
Guess that's a modern view in the West, although it seems to correlate to Eastern "alchemical" ideas.
It's such a mystical symbol, it's really versatile in the range of projections it supports.
All things to all actors
The Stone is a physical/material thing and also an allegory at the same time.
"The SECRET of HERMETIC SCIENCE OR PHILOSOPHY is as
its name indicates : SOUL-KNOWLEDGE.
Hermetic Science does not relate to material things, but uses
Alchemical symbols as a blind for SPIRITUAL REALITIES. It is an
Alchemy of the MIND and SOUL, a SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY.
Thus is JACOB BEHMEN an Adept of Hermetic
Philosophy, but not an Adept in Physical Alchemy. In His
Philosophy the Philosopher's Stone is a Symbol for Divine
Illumination, and the Mastery, or Great Work, relates to the
Regeneration of the Soul.
A study of the Works of Jacob Behmen"

"Don't feed mercury to babies" is a fair warning I was absolutely not prepared to hear at any point of my life. I love it.
Have you considered a speaking tour? The occult practices of the early American industrialists would be a topic that interests me. Thanks for everything!
This channel is the kind of thing I've been hoping to find for over 10 years!! Keep it up!
One of the most entertaining episodes; from smiling, to chuckles, guffaws, to outright laughter! Priceless. I thought how fun it would have been to give an alchemist a growing crystals kit! Thanks & Cheers from Seattle 🍻 Alex
Or just a high school chemistry textbook
Dr. Sledge, I absolutely love your lectures. I listen to your videos everyday at work and I just want to thank you for your extensive research.
Keep crushing it,

Missed you dear Dr. Sledge! Great stuff, as always, thank you. :)
Great to hear from, friend!
Liked for "Good Hermetic Fun" in the future PLEASE!!!!
The problem with esoteric writing is that early writers thought and wrote metaphorically and analogically. Later readers and interpreters grew increasingly literal minded until today we are so literal in thinking that we can hardly understand what the original authors were saying. Not all that glitters has 79 protons. Alchemy is not chemistry though its literal interpretation inspired chemists like Sir Isaac.
Yes, as a tech writer, that skill set and even concept is a relatively new one.
Often the impetus was on the reader to figure it out, not on the writer to make it easy to understand. You can see this in sword fighting treatises a lot, too, most of what I study from these periods.
No different then modern science. If you read a modern quantum physics books, you will get equations, words, pictures that only physicist and some scientist understand. No normal people will understand the manual !
Exactly. But, people were also literal thinkers back in the day too. Example: people looking for an actual cup (holy grail) when that too was a metaphor.
@@FulcanelliTrismegistus There's back in the day and then there's back in the day. The ancient Greeks started the literal trend. By the the time of Helena of Constantinople everybody expected their religious artifacts to be physically real. Of course, the idea of the Holy Grail didn't really exist until the 12th century anyway, and it took centuries before anyone bother to look for it.
The only serious video on youtube about alchemy without mambojambo. Thanks for sharing and for all the hours of research.
Most of the philosopher's stone was technically realized with particle accelerators. Also, if you have ever seen photos of Enrico Fermi, sweaty, shirtless, and covered in graphite dust as he was in Chicago building the first nuclear reactor in secret, you have to admit it has the "look" of alchemy.
Try metallurgy, and astrology
The things the Church exterminated without prejudice
The problem remains that even “technically”, the cost to transform lead into gold far (and wildly so) exceeds the value of what is produced. Now imagine traveling back in time to those ancient alchemists and telling them that while their goal was “technically” possible, they had a fundamental misunderstanding of nearly everything about it, and would need to start from scratch. And again, the success of their goal cost more than it yielded. That’s *exactly* why I sit on my couch. Because of alchemists.
@@uncannyvalley2350 Doesn’t the church have an Observatory named Lucifer? The church most certainly is not the same organization it was.
I really enjoy the obscure ancient/historical artwork you display, it's always stuff i've never seen before.
also, I notice you're using much fewer edits, looks great!
I'm so glad I found this channel by accident it's become such an important part of my morning with coffee
Dude, you HAD me with that D&D .05e joke. That was an 11/10.
Accidentally pressed the downvote instead of the upvote button! Ignore that feedback! This video is excellent and such a thorough summary.
Never thought of the etymology of "hermetically sealed" before😯
Looking up the etymology of "hermetic" when I was a teen is probably the earliest thing I did that could constitute research into the mystic or occult. Of course I didn't know it was going to take me there in advance. 😆
It seems as if this video was made for me. I spoke to someone about this topic today, and this video was also uploaded.
I can picture alchemists bragging about how dummy thicc their hermetic vessels are. People never change.
Thank you for your time!
It is perhaps a subtle implication (and perhaps others have already commented on this; I can’t read all the comments before trying to express this thought)…
The subtle implication is that the original alchemists were hampered by a less informed, less sophisticated, understanding of the physical world and the lack of standardized language or measurement techniques, but otherwise working diligently and rigorously and empirically to achieve their goals.
I suspect that in 1,000 years time, our descendants may have the same opinions or assessments of our modern efforts related to quantum mechanics, particle accelerators, etc.
Where Aristotle and his contemporaries modeled the world as being composed of 4 events, we have the Standard Model (fermions and bosons).
Nils Bohr said it best: no models are true or real, but some models are more useful or more convenient than others.
I try to apply this notion to all notions.
Everything I “know” is predicated on a subtle internal model of reality I have learned (or been taught) in tiny steps.
One model of this is that my neural pathways have become hardwired to immediate apprehend signals according to my previous or preconceived experiences and expectations effectively bypassing the true raw perception; I’m no longer experiencing the world as it is; I am experiencing the world through a layer of cognitive abstractions.
It’s a fast and efficient mechanism for survival and participation in the daily activities proscribed by the culture in which I seem to live, but…
… it can be an impediment to epiphany, revelation, or enlightenment (“sure, I’d like a mint”)
So, thanks for the reminder.
By contemplating the beliefs of other cultures past or present, I hope to more consciously regard my own as simply convenient or useful models, maps, or menus, rather than absolute truths or “reality”; I strive to remain a devout “maybe-ist”

Historical alchemy definitely needs to be taught in the history of science
But this isn't it. Alchemy isn't about metal transformation and never was. That's part of the cabal language.
Otherwise known as early metallurgy.
Blacksmiths shared the same immunity from persecution as Magi and Architects
Hence Freemasonry and its ties to Astrology
Feels good to hear someone talking about true alchemy and not the 19th century 'spiritual alchemy'. N talking about the 'spirit', 'mercury' , 'sulfur' is all code. We live in the age of information. The info is out there if anyone is interested in learning what the codes mean, pray for knowledge/answers, and if one is true in the heart, you will be guided. So mote it be 🙏 amen
P.s. the philosophers stone is a physical substance, but its not an actual stone. If you know, you know.
It is fascinating that planets that produce gold are older ones because the core is hitting more complex atoms together. And people try to make it since they discovered it somewhere in the dirt.
Easily the best video on Alchemy I've seen in quite some time. So glad to support this humble channel of yours.
Also, nice Tool reference. That entire album, I would argue, is an excellent homage to Alchemical research.
DR SLEDGE YOUR INTRO ALWAYS GETS ME HYPE
My second listening. Incredible presentation & summarizing. Wow! TY! I toast you Dr. Sledge 🥃
So terrific to have an analysis from the standpoint of history.

I thought a chemical marriage was what happened in Vegas 😂
This was a great video on the Philosopher’s Stone. And I am studying alchemy.

Sweet!!!! I've been anxiously awaiting this one 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your fascinating and inspiring videos!
So happy I joined ur patron dr Justin
AMAZING video! This one was another level
Thank you for this great video. I’m intrigued by the many illustrations. I would love to see a video that further explores the symbolism alchemists used to convey their ideas. For example, I really enjoyed the explanation behind the green lion devouring the sun.
I’ve been anticipating this one! Your videos always make me excited to learn. Thank you!
31:48 "Don't feed mercury to babies". Again, fine wisdom delivered in an accessible manner.
I just recently discovered your channel and am loving it! I find your mix of scholarly knowledge and sense of humour refreshing. Thanks for doing this!
🙏🏻♥️ Thank you for excellent channel. This is by far one of my favorites.
I have a stone that I've kept since i was a kid, it's a dark sparkling stone and it was really fascinating to me when I was a kid. One day I'll become a philosopher, and that stone will become the philosopher's stone. Welcome to my Magnum Opus👍
excellent - thank you...
Doc, once again your research & delivery on another awesome mysterious topic was stellar! Definitely going to subscribe to your Patreon!
I've been studying Gematria in "Sepher Sepheroth" as a recent hobby of sorts and I have encountered many alchemical references. I originally started doing this to research lore of FFVII's main villain. I was astonished as to how much I was able to dig up from it. But even more so, I was astonished to find that there actually is something to Gematria in real life terms. My best guess is that it has something to do with an underlying mathematical principle in how each of their letters is also a number.
For what it's worth, I follow the method described in the book to my best understanding. That is to trace the etymological origins of a given word in it's own language. Then from there find it's nearest Greek equivalent and translate the Greek word to Hebrew. Just from doing that alone, I have learned a ton about Hebrew, Greek, and Coptic languages that never ceases to amaze me.
The association with the letter/number stigma to shin and tav is fascinating.
However, what really blows me away is the Pythagorean element to numerology. Numbers 25, 28, and 49 are very fascinating indeed. I would like to hear what you have to say about it given your experience with ciphers.
Get godwins encyclopedia. It's like sephir sephirot but finished and more detailed. I think all editions also include crowleys in the back. Bill Heidrick put together a decent free one online too. The other thing that helped me as a gematria beginner was learning more about how spelling works in hebrew. A regular modern language course and a hebrew-english dictionary helps with that. I read somewhere that there are 5 trees in paradise. "Paradise" in hebrew is a 5 letter acronym for remembering all the funky things you can do to read into a single hebrew word.
brillant work. Keep going
Thanks!
Thank you for your great work.
This understanding of alchemy presented throws light on it in a way that I've never before seen it done. Early alchemists, making experimental observations from metallurgical processes, see something unexpected: silver deriving from heated lead. In order to explain this, they construct a theory for how this happens - transmutation of the metal through heat - and this theory is developed, explored, and aligned with the grand world theories of the time, these being philosophical, metaphysical, astrological, etc. Once fitted within some structured theory, it makes sense to me that many later alchemists would come to receive their tutelage exclusively through the lens of the theories provided: meaning, that one expects such alchemists to be taught the theory before the practice, and as such would come to read their theory *onto* the world rather than *out* of it. Inevitably encountering difficulties due to incongruity between theory and experience, we get each frustrated alchemist doing the same thing: drawing on the popular world theory of their place and day in order to explain what they see. Not much different from ourselves, I would say: we just place greater value on the fact that our theories align with our observations than on their internal harmony, completeness, and coherence (I'm waiting for experimental validations/refutations of string theory to prove me wrong, but until then...)
That said: having had so little to work with in terms of observational power, it always impresses me what the alchemists were actually able to carry forward into the future of chemistry and indeed, of modern science in general.
I was actually just reading about this, and then you did a video about it!
I love this subject! Thanks man!
Oh, I so love this! Thank you thank you thank you! Can I ask for more?!
You do great work. Thank you for your work.
There was a stone like that reported in a documentary program in the Philippines. The stone was found by a fisherman not in the sea but in a nest of snakes. It looked like a snakes egg but it glows in the dark and was hard like a marble. It was reported to have healing capabilities and what's strange about it was, it was cold to the touch and it glows light red in the dark.
It was weird yet fascinating...
tell me more!
Do you know the documentary programs name?
@@trutwhut6550 it was 2009 or 2005 (not sure of the year) in a program called "Balitang K" I tried searching for a video of that episode on the net but I can't find any. I even tried on the TV stations website but they don't have any videos of older footages of that program...
The TV station is called ABS-CBN and the program still exist but it's called Rated K now.
@@IntelliTrance The story was outlandish, the fisherman claimed that an entity that watch over all reptiles gave it to him and he was given instructions where to find it by this entity through a dream. When he woke up he went to the place where the entity on his dream told him the stone was and he was surprised to really found something there, it was in his old hut that he and his family left because of a snake infestation.
He claimed that he was chosen to have the stone because he gave shelter to those snakes... it was unbelievable but the way the Fisherman described it sounds like a philosoper's stone and he didn't know what a philosopher's stone was, he was just describing the things that he witnessed when he had the stone. Now I've tried searching for the old footage of the specific episode but I couldn't find any, I tried to contact the TV station through their email but no one responded. The TV station is called ABS-CBN and the program was called "Balitang k" it still exist now under a new name "Rated K"
If anyone comes across this with the resources or the capability and interests to pursue this stuff,
Please look into this, this have been bugging me out for the past couple of years.
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon3405 Thats so cool. Alchemy. Snakes. Dreams. Archetypes. Time loops. Kindness.
Alchemy lesson with a Tool reference. I'm happy.
Wow! I’m so happy that TH-cam got this recommendation right. I’m two mins in and already subscribed. Hugs💕✨
I'm really looking forward to seeing you cover the philosophical interpretation of this!
I mean as much as there is one to do, this episode kinda did it.
Thank you Doctor! Very cool information delivered very well indeed!!! I appreciate you and yours
Awesome. Thanks
Kinda surprised you didn't talk more about the work Lawrence Principe did in The Secrets of Alchemy, where he follows the instructions on how to produce the Philosopher's Stone in Basil Valentine’s book "Of the Great Stone of the Ancients". He gets as far as producing red crystals of gold chloride, and the key was the "useless" repeated distillations.
Solve et Coagula, repeat.
Was that red chloride thought to be the sulpheric quality of the gold? The way the theory goes, you get the fiery bit and the watery bit isolated and reground and fix them with the earthy bit. If the material essence of the highest expression of elements is more abundant in gold, it would seem like one could isolate it.
@@drphosferrous They called it "volatilized gold" ie gold that was able to evaporate. Some other names are “the rose of our masters and the red dragon’s blood.”
This was great. Thank you.
We need to keep in mind that the Fama states: “the true Philosophers are far of another minde, esteeming little the making of Gold, which is but a parergon; for besides that they have a thousand better things.”
Divide the world's Circumference by six and get 6,666. Divide the number of seconds in a day by 400 and get 216, 2160 is the length of an astrological age. The Moon is 400 times smaller than the sun, which is 864,000 miles wide, just like there are 86,400 seconds in a day. The planet orbits the Sun at 108,000 km/hr or 66,600 miles an hour.
If we divide the angled side of the Pyramid (186.6 x 100 = 18,660) by 21.6 we get 863.8, plus .2 is 864. The base of the Pyramid minus the height is also Pi times 100, and Al Nitak follows Sirius past the King's Chamber in 100 minutes.
If we divide the height by Euler's number we get the square root of Pi, times 2 is 354, the number of days in 12 lunar months.
If we divide the diameter of the Sun by 6 we get 144,000
In one hour the hands of our 24 hr clock go around 60 times 60 times 10, which is 36,000, the number of Arc degrees in one second times 10, which means each second is one 360th of a circle, times 100.
This shows that the Star of David was used as a kind of calculator to devise time and do complex equations using a hexadecimal system. The Egyptian number of perfection is 100, we divide 400 by 100 to get 4, we divide 600 by 100 we get 6. 4/6 is equal to 2/3 and 6/9, all of which have a ratio of 66.666666666, by which they can divide the Horizon down to seconds, and thus navigate the globe knowing both its dimensions and be able to make accurate maps.
86,400 ÷ 400 is 216
216 x 2 is 432
432 + 216 is 684
432 x 2 is 864
So rather than divide 864,000 by 2160, they divide 86,400 by 216, which is 400, rather than 40,000. This means a Megalithic Clock would go around 40 times, with each second broken down into tenths. 6 times 6 times 10; 3600. 400 ÷ 6 is 66.66666
These numbers all divide into each other. Half of 216 is 108, just as the Earth orbits the Sun at 108,000 km/hr. The interior angles of a regular Pentagon are also 108, and the interior angles of a Star of David add up to 1,440, times 100 is 144,000. Half of 108 is 54.
It takes 360 Full Moons to span the night sky Horizon to Horizon, 720 total, 72 times 3 is 216. 6 x 6 x 6 x 4 = 864
Which means a full moon is equivalent to 300 seconds, or 5 minutes, meaning 2 Full moons per 10 minutes, or 12 moons per hour. (360÷12 is 13) This means seconds represent tenths of the Moon, a Minute (6 times 10 times 10) being 2 Full Moons or 1 degree of arc. Multiply the Moon's diameter by 18.6, the number of years in a Metonic Cycle, and get 40,175, the diameter of the Earth plus 100. 40,000 times 100 is 4,000,000, the Earth's circumference in meters.
Multiply 18.6 by 2150 (actual diameter of the Moon) and you get 39,990, just 10 km short. This means they measured the Earth with the Orbit of the Moon, and based their metrics off of the Full Moon, cubing and squaring it to find the relationships between the heavenly bodies. Half of the Pyramid's base equals one 86,400th of the Earth's Circumference. Divide the Base by the height and get Pi. The height of the Great Pyramid times 43200 equals the Polar Circumference of the Earth.
Also the Circumference of the Base of the Great Pyramid times 43200 equals the Equatorial Circumference of the Earth.
An equilateral Triangle formed within the face of the Great Pyramid is 6,666 inches along each side, it represents one half of the Star of David, 720 degrees, as above so below, so we double it, 1440 ÷ 6 is 240, the number of hours on a clock times ten. 24 being 4 x 6, combining both ratios of of Sun and Moon, hence Solomon. The Pyramid itself is Squaring the Circle, by reducing the proportions of the cosmos to squares and roots based on Phi and Pi and Euler's number as a ratio to feet, and the Star of David is what allows them to do it, like a proto Antikythera mechanism.
I can't say if they went to hundredths of a second, because I'm not even that much of a mathematician (magician) but they definitely did tenths, and it equates to the same nautical metrics we use today.
Enoch also buries 36,525 scrolls, the number of days in a year, times 100. Oh by the way, this shows that our current measure of time is based on the principle of 1/6, the basis of an Egyptian Royal Cubit, but first they built the first ring at Stonehenge, which is 100 metres (330 ft) wide, with an area of 2160 square feet, a Cube's interior angles also add up to... 2160!
This produces a Calendar of 60 6 day weeks plus five. Every 4th year a 366th day makes exactly 61 weeks.
This means every 216 years this calendar produces 1 extra day, so after 648 years 3 days must be removed. This is when the Phoenix arrived, and stepped onto the Alter of Ra or Holy Grail, completing the Metonic cycle and bringing the Calendar back into sync with the first New Moon of the Spring equinox. The Capstone of the Pyramid is even called the Benben Stone, the Egyptian Phoenix is called the Bennu. It likely relates to Deneb, in Ophiuchus, the 13th Starsign of the Zodiac. The base of the Pyramid is exactly 13 Acres, as is Teotihuacan, because they share the exact same base dimensions.
Such a location would be ideal for calculating the speed of light using the transit of Venus. Incidentally the Great Pyramid's Latitudinal coordinates are the speed of light.
1440 ÷ 108 = 13.333333
11 and 3 are the most sacred Celtic numbers of royalty, and also happen to be the proportions of the Earth to the Moon, and the Great Pyramid.
The starsigns also precess 1 degree every 72 years
72 x 3 is 216
2160 ÷ 648 is 3.3333333
The Aztec Calendar also begins with a double transit of Venus, in 3116BC. The Mayan calendar ended with a double transit of Venus in 2012. Capt Cook used a transit of Venus to determine Longitudinal time, using Greenwich as the Meridian. In Ancient Egypt the Great Pyramid served the same purpose, marking 0 and 360 degrees of the Earth, Teotihuacan has the same dimensions and sits at 180 degrees, just as Hercules sits at 180 degrees from Orion and Pleaides at 33 degrees, being Osiris and Isis. This puts Ophiuchus, the 13th Sign at 216 degrees.
This whole code can be encoded into a single Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 666 by 630, by 216, this is the Key of Solomon, 33 is the inverse of 66.
100 is the "perfect number" because it represents 10 6 unit metrics times 10 6 unit metrics, a unit being 6.66
ie 60 x 60 (3600) the number of Arcdegree seconds in a second, or a one second unit on a clock the size of Earth
This means seconds represent 10ths of the Moon; 216, or 6 x 6 x 6 (100 ÷ 6 ÷ 6 = 2.7): Euler's number, and the number of feet to a Megalithic Yard, 3/11 is .27 and the number of days in a sidereal month is also 27.
11/3 is 3.66, the number of days in a Canicular leap year, the character of Thoth, Cuchulainn, and Kukulkan, the Dog Star, and star by which the Sothic (Seth) Calendar is determined. Thoth was the Son of Seth, who is portrayed as a Serpent. 3 x 11 is 33, the years in a Great Solar Return. As the Sun and Moon inhabit their respective houses of the Zodiac they animate the character within, playing out the dramas and battles we know as myths, for example the Moon traveling through each of the Zodiac houses each month, for a grand total of... 144 (12 x 12)
Metatron/Enoch/Echnaton/Arkenaten's Cube is 13 circles in a Star of David:
13 x 360 is 4680
4680 ÷ 216 is 21.666..
4680 is an inversion of 8640, or 6840, just as Trump owes China a Billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) for 1290 Avenue of the Americas. And has a tax haven at 1209 North Orange St Delaware, and was elected in 2016.
2016 + 144 is 2160
His Penthouse was built on the 66th floor of 666ft Trump Tower, his best friend Epstein "died" aged 66.6 years old.
The Great Pyramid is the Tower of Babel, built for Pharoah so he could meet the God of Moses. Babel is the old name for Cairo, and also means English. Anglo comes from Ankh, which means to bend, or Angle Angland became England, but still bears the Celto Phoenician Solstice calendar on their flag. Iberia and Hebrew have the same root, meaning Over, as in over seas; as in the Phoenicians (Sons of Light, or Sons of the Phoenix), Celts, and Iberians that ruled the Maritime world; the Sea Peoples.
Israel is the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra, and quite possibly denotes a solar eclipse, a Black Sun, or Black holed sun.
It's in the name. Just like Tyre means Rock, and sat just offshore from Urshu Shalom, City of the New Moon, the root word of Jerusalem. Tyre was also the primary center of (Free) Masonry in the Bronze Age, the only comparable site is Thebes in Egypt.
Adendum: the day of Brahma is 8.64 million years, this would equate to hundredths of a second on this same time/distance model but comes much later, suggesting an advancement or evolution of accuracy .
If "spiritual alchemy" is only a 19th - 20th century invention or innovation then why does Robert Fludd talk explicitly about it as covered in the work of Allison Coudert? Honest question. Alchemy isn't really my are so I'd love to know what's up as I've heard you say this before.
Kind of awesome that, with modern science, we are able to transmute elements into each other, just like alchemists of old hoped to
The world would be a better place with Esoterica D&D expansion sets.
Awesome stuff, Dr Sledge!
There are days I feel I wish I could own such a stone that has SO many uses especially HEALING AND REGENERATION ❤❤❤👍🏻🤩🥰😁🙌🏻
With this video I can finally get my limbs and my brothers body back
They certainly wasted time doing those extra distillations, they could have been making more whiskey!
Now that he mentions “growing metallic seeds”, I think I read something like that in Theogony where the land beyond chaos was all brass and brass fruit grew from brass plants.
I took an interest in the philosopher’s stone once I learned that the founders of my family’s religion [subtilely] claimed to have been given “the white stone,” after their spiritual journey had “sanctified their garments.” Most magical literature has the stone with that of thousands. But in the Judeo-Christian tradition, there have been those who “have sat with 10,000.” I learned that talking about the gift in the form of obtaining a stone often times objectifies the process, leading us to objectify ourselves. So in the Christian tradition, being given the white stone was symbolically mentioned, but more often described as obtaining Christ’s character. I think the language used between different traditions shows the extent to which a saint or practitioner idolizes power and secrets over the sanctity of a person.
I think the philosophers was simply taking the piss, though they do deserve credit for kick starting modern chemistry. Thx for a great and interesting video
Adam McLean has a wonderful book on reading techniques for alchemical writings.
Thank you so much for the content! I'ts been really helpful. Can you make a video on Natural Law and the Kyballion?
(Lol,þicc!!)I love how he uses real modern metallurgy to explain ancient alchemy. It's the most honest breakdown of alchemy I've seen, including in my modest collection of arcane tomes.
this guy is amazing. love his videos
From what I understand when sure Noble exploded the radiation and energy output was so great it turned the lead in the building into gold. Well small portions of lead into gold.
Thank you.
This is a great upload, thanks so muc. Subbed.
Full Metal Alchemist was amazing. Maybe cover that😂😂😂😂 thanks for the videos
Hey I've been doing a ton of reading and self teaching on mineralization and the deposition of gold. A few points you bring up in alchemy as melted lead heated high enough and long enough would disappear..well you know that in smelting the crushed oxidized ore (this is the product after roasting) with a flux and add lead or (lead oxide with a reducing flame) would give you a precious metal "button" This button must have a certain amount % to be lead otherwise while assaying the results will odd and dull and flaky or even a frozen alloy cemented to the cupel. Anyways an almost all lead collection button removed from the smelt slag and then added to the cupel in a muffle furnace to oxidize the lead into litharge with will be absorbed into the magnesia, or bone ash cupel and leave behind the precious metals + hard to separate base metal of copper. so possibly the reason they thought lead could be converted to gold through oxidation in a cupel, and in nature these deposit in some formation very close to each other so its not hard to imagine the ore was getting mixed together galena, litharge, iron stained quartz, magnesium, arsenopyrite... if ya have all natural unprocessed or crushed and ground together and if ya smelted it correctly you would result in an alloyed metal button, appearing and possibly testing as pure lead, what possibly they didn't realize was their "pure lead" was actually an alloy with precious metal??? just food for thought. Also now (in the near current past to present) studies are showing more and more results linking ore samples with a higher arsenopyrite mineralization concentration, to a higher gold concentration. Some good collaboration is even theorizing that gold originates from arsenopyrite. Here's where things throw on the hmmm light bulb. 28:30 growing seed crystals and color changes describes exactly the 4 different sulfide colors of arsenopyrite and the this ties back into the color artwork from the opening of this video at 0:14. So i'm wondering is arsenopyrite the philosopher's stone? (copyright and patent pending) KJS 4/1/23
There are unusually rare substances that are produced when human urine is aged for a long time, the most important of which can be easily extracted as they settle at the bottom of the container being used. Perhaps this information was more common and utilized by the ancient alchemists. The use of urine for medical purposes was much more common about a century ago, so I wouldn't be surprised that our lack of information about its potential alchemical uses are more unknown to us simply due to time compared to obscurity.
The Hermetic Egg makes me wonder if perhaps it had some influence on the perception of things like Prince Rupert Tears - fine glass, fully sealed under pressure in the shape of a tear drop.
Gonna watch this to understand Noita
It would be cool to see you break down the alchemical are! Please 🙏
As intriguing as the whole lecture was, the thing that got me the most was the Tool reference lol
