What Alchemical Symbols REALLY mean

Alchemy was an area of study rich with symbols that were more than just signs. Alchemists used these symbols to encapsulate their unique blend of science, mysticism, and philosophy. They were also used as a universal language and a means to guard their secretive practices. Beyond their practical meanings, alchemy symbols held great symbolic representations.
Here’s every major alchemy symbol you need to know.

Regarding 7:49 the Philosopher's Stone. In 1980, gold was successfully made by a team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. Nuclear chemists Glenn T. Seaborg, David J. Morrissey and Walter D. Loveland used a high energy nuclear particle accelerator known as the Bevalac which transformed the metal bismuth into gold. The process is known as “Chrysopoeia”.

Omg! I love your channel. I just found you today, and it’s rare I’m impacted. I wanted to take some time out of my day and personally thank you! For all of these thorough, and vast contextual contributions through your varied video content— all of which surround mysticism and mysterious topics, with worldly knowledge that touches the transcendental. To say I was looking and hoping to find a channel with content like this is an understatement. It fills me!🖤🖤

Soul = Integrated Psyche (Heart, Mind and Will)

We transform our temporal caterpillar psyche (lead) into an Eternal Butterfly Soul (gold), by alchemically integrating our Heart, Mind and Will.

When the Heart aspires, the Mind inquires and the Will conspires (combines).

Integration = Integrity = Soul

Philosopher's Stone = Axiom = Self-evident Truth

The Word of Truth (Logos) is ever faithful (loyal, true, isomorphic) to Reality/Life (That which is/That I am).

This was great and timed perfectly; I am currently studying for a diploma in symbology. Thank you, liked and subscribed please keep them coming.

Nice job! An important aspect of Salt which should be mentioned is that it represents the union of polar forces, informative Mercury and formative Sulphur, or on the mundane level, an acid and a base. Salt is the illusion of manifest individual physicality or Being. "Ye are the Salt of the Earth..." 🙏

This is a great video. Are there paperback reference books on this topic? Also, where can I find alchemical dice like you showed in the video? I can guess a game store, perhaps.

I am an Alchemist of White Eagle and Black Crow.
I turn lead into gold. … death to light. Dark emotions into their direct Positive opposite.
Interesting video, thanks!

[Chadmurdock]

My favourite is the eagle and the lion which best represents my process/stages in life well 26 years of it now. I guess the crow too especially the crow.

[richardschneider]

Fascinating and well written. New Subscription good job

[OoSpellheartOo]

My favorite symbol is the "white eagle"... I have performed sublimation of several metals ... I love the periodic table .... .

Symbols always have meaning on multiple levels, because meaning is inferred by the listener/reader. Symbols never mean just one thing, universally. They evolve over time. So when sharing symbols and meanings, it's not what they REALLY mean... It's what they mean for you, personally, socially, politically and within family context and your region and time frame. Key distinction.

The raven symbolism is very interesting having just learnt how edger Alan Poe died. I’m going to go back to re read it. If you’re not aware he predicted his own death aswell. Love learning about these subjects 💯

Thanks you. This was food for thought.

Sending much love and understanding to you and yours. Peace
