| | Alchemy - Philosopher's Stone |
 | | Alchemy was not original in seeking these goals, for it had been preceded by religion, medicine, and metallurgy. | | | Alchemy is an ancient path of spiritual purification and transformation; the expansion of consciousness and the development of insight and intuition through images. |

| | Alchemy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The word alchemy comes from the Arabic al-kimiya or al-khimiya (الكيمياء or الخيمياء), which is probably formed from the article al- and the Greek word khumeia (χυμεία) meaning "cast together", "pour together," "weld," "alloy," etc. (from khumatos, "that which is poured out, an ingot"). | | | Also, alchemy at this time was sanctioned by the church as a good method of exploring and developing theology. | | | Much more is known about Islamic alchemy because it was better documented: indeed, most of the earlier writings that have come down through the years were preserved as Islamic translations. |

| | Dao House... Alchemy |
| | Robert E. Sinkewicz's (University of Toronto, Religion) outline of the Complete Perfection School's brand of alchemy, with its synthesis of Daoism, Zen, and Confucianism, and its dual cultivation of body and mind. | | | One aspect of external alchemy was the elimination of the Three Worms - which leads O'Neil to some interesting "Historical and Theoretical Background" on Daoist alchemy, and the Buddhist influence on its development. | | | See also Pregadio's draft of a conference presentation on " The View of Nature in Chinese Alchemy " (in waidan and neidan tradition). |

| | History of Alchemy from Ancient Egypt to Modern Times. |
| | Vaughan came from Wales and his writings were regarded as an illustration of the spiritual approach to alchemy. | | | During the fourteenth century, the science of alchemy fell into grave disrepute, for the alchemists claim to transmute metals offered great possibilities to any rogue with sufficient plausibility and lack of scruple to exploit the credulity or greed of his fellowmen. | | | These were the men who, by having observed it in themselves, understood the symbolism of one of the most essential rules of alchemy: Use only one vessel, one fire, and one instrument. |

| | Alchemy |
| | Not only would we confound ideas that originally had nothing to do with each other, but we would have to reject so many central aspects of alchemy that there would be no possibility of comprehending what held it together, and no hope of ultimately making more than superficial comparisons with the traditions of other cultures. | | | It is thus necessary to ask whether alchemy was but an appendage of Taoism, neglected by all but a few specialist practitioners and non-practising patrons; or on the other hand part of a central revelation which defined the character of Taoist religion. | | | This latter tendency might be called technological, in the sense that the product was all-important, and we shall see that reflections of the artisan's ability to control Nature, uncommon elsewhere in Chinese thought, furnish an important part of its ideology. |

| | F. Pregadio: The View of Nature in Chinese Alchemy |
| | The earliest extant sources, originally dating from the third century CE, show that Chinese alchemy is, at the outset, a ritual practice to communicate with benevolent divinities and to expel dangerous spirits. | | | From the point of view of the written sources, the main product of this encounter is the Zhouyi cantong qi (Token for the Agreement of the Three According to the Book of Changes), which soon rose to the status of main alchemical scripture and exerted a decisive influence on the later tradition. | | | Offering of pledges as well as invocations and petitions to the gods mark all the main stages of the alchemical process: transmission of the scriptures, construction of the laboratory, kindling of the fire, and ingestion of the elixirs. |
