In the ancient science of Alchemy, it seems that Philosophers and Alchemy went hand in hand.
Many Alchemists sought after the Philosopher’s Stone, which from my understanding is a mythical stone that transforms common metals into precious ones.
Achieving this is like reaching Enlightenment for Alchemists of the old world.
Before I jump to conclusions, which happens when I see gruesomely slow sacrificial elements, I have to remember in my reading they seem to use lot of symbolism, analogies and strange riddles to describe life philosophically and physical processes. I only hope I’m misinterpreting some of the imaginary here.
This is the second page to the scrolls, being that there were two. I included the decipherable text which talks about the stages of the stone, most of the words are brushed off.
I was surprised to see something from the 1500s in plain English to observe and shudder at the tales of the Philosopher’s Stone.
