Alchemy was not only the belief that basic metals can be used to create precious metals but also that they precious metals were very much alive. The belief is that a tiny nugget in the ground was able to grow and continue growing. As well alchemists believed everything had a spirit. Although alchemy is a historical science, and we cannot actually change things like lead into gold, it set many of the basis' we have for today's modern chemistry]]> 2016-11-25 15:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/139915904 taylor_deas https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/139917148 The elixir of life was thought by alchemists to make one immortal. Many Alchemists sought to create the elixir.
The elixir of life has many different names that it's commonly referred to, such as: 
* The philosopher stone
*Dancing water
*Water of life
*Pool of nectar

Yes, it deals greatly with making gold from basic metals, but it also was a science That practiced spirituality and philosophy, believing that everything had a sort of living aspect to it... Similar to the point mentioned, where they believed a gold nugget would grow inside the earths crust and continue to grow. If we related that to today, many scientists are fact based thinkers, it's a very different world from then and now.]]> 2016-11-28 13:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/140152434 taylor_deas https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/140157095 Alchemy was seen to be a society which was exclusive to themselves; chosen by god or close to god you could say. To be able to understand the language and symbols they used you needed to either be fluent in the language or have a codex to break the codeThey believed that all life grew, and mainly sought to reveal how we everything was created.]]> 2016-11-28 13:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/140157095 taylor_deas https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/140163363 100-300 AD could possibly have been the earliest we had heard of the philosophers stone. We have heard mention of the philosopher's stone by stories over time, for example, the Disney movie the sorcerer's apprentice and Harry Potter: The Sorcerer's stone. To hold or be able to create the elixir of life or philosopher's stone meant that you would be immortal, as well you would be regarded in a very high manner.]]> 2016-11-28 13:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/140163363 taylor_deas https://padlet.com/taylor_deas/elcv1fph1pmd/wish/140174196 Alchemy is both a spiritual and physical based science. It was the basis of chemistry as we now it today, and was the product of many of today's products:
- Extract (vanilla, almond extract)
-Gun Powder ( a result of alchemy, an unintentional outcome)

The science is very hard to understand and is generally exclusive to individuals that have been initiated into the group.
