Hey everyone, at the beginning I would like to welcome you to my new contribution and hope you all have a positive start to the new week! In this article I would like to go into the mysterious world of alchemy and I am happy if you can expand your knowledge.
The fact that metals were of great importance for the alchemists should probably be well known, but which relationship they had with it is a rather rare and a not often discussed topic about which I would like to share more about today. Regardless of whether it were normal or noble metals, these were examined very carefully for the properties, but everything becomes even rarer when it comes to the fact that the alchemists were of the opinion that metals are living beings which could even show their own form of communication and it was even gone a step further that each metal has its own form of expression. This form of language was also full of symbolism and it was a form of nature to express the hidden things and here it was also similar to the view as with other things that only the chosen ones could have been able to perceive this hidden voice.
Those who could perceive the metals have been selected to receive secrets or other revelations that normal people do not get to see and it's also a protection mechanism so that certain knowledge also gets to the right ones and others do not know what to do with it and who has been able to understand these signs is even so powerful that this one key to source. Other alchemists even went so far and claimed that metals would have been able to exchange information with each other and can be interpreted by the sounds which are in harmony with each other and this knowledge was also often used when it comes to being able to determine the right mixture of certain metals.
In ancient writings, it was also mentioned which symbolism metals would express in their language and gold as the king of metals was associated with secrecy while iron was loud and behaved particularly conspicuously. About some metals was also said that these could create tones of joy like a soft laugh and even been associated with human sexes, but always had to distinguish here through which reaction metals speak because some have only given a hiss through a chemical reaction such as by warming. Roughly, it was possible to distinguish which loud metals give off in their basic form and which in the laboratory under certain influencing factors such as heat or cold and I find this topic very interesting, especially since the spiritual side and the practice merge here at some points.
Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new and like my post! I captured these pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm and iPhone 16.
