I thought maybe you guys would find this interesting too.
It's easy to forget that this was what science was before we knew about protons, neutrons, and electrons, and that alchemists did make important discoveries.
I didn't realize how much it was like a shorthand/instructions for how to recreate actual reactions and not like magical summoning wheels... well 😅

despite how hard i fight the urge, i lose myself in limerence. while i understand the reasons, i cannot seem to stop my mind from wandering off into senseless dreams. senseless in the sense that i understand where they begin and where they end. apart from these dreams, i crave only the affections of my own gentle adoration. anything more has proven to be too exhausting to entertain in my current state. what is my current state, i ponder.
a symbol of the ouroboros has consumed my thoughts and dreams of late. i can't seem to let the image pass and i think that must mean something. i think i already know of the meaning it holds. i think i already know what i must do.
i must learn to channel the dormant lion that lives within me. what more do i have to lose. i watched my soul burn in the backyard. i've been engulfed in the flames of transformation. i am potential energy vibrating, begging to be expelled from rest. i've transcended death. so what am i waiting for?

"Reflecting the Alchemist's Soul: Unveiling the Mysteries in 'The Mirror of Alchimy' by Roger Bacon"
In "The Mirror of Alchimy" Roger Bacon takes readers on a mesmerizing journey into the enigmatic world of alchemy, unraveling the veiled mysteries that have captivated seekers of esoteric knowledge for centuries. This seminal work, written in the late 16th century, serves as a timeless portal into the alchemical tradition, offering profound insights into the transformative processes of both the philosopher's stone and the adept's soul.
Bacon's narrative is a tapestry woven with allegorical threads, blending practical laboratory instructions with symbolic language that transcends the material realm. As the alchemist-author, Bacon speaks to readers across time, inviting them to contemplate the union of opposites, the refinement of base elements, and the pursuit of the elusive Elixir of Life.
The Mirror of Alchimy serves as a guide for those daring enough to tread the intricate labyrinth of spiritual transmutation. Bacon's prose, though rooted in the medieval context, resonates with universal themes— the quest for enlightenment, the cyclic nature of creation and destruction, and the pursuit of the divine within the earthly vessel.
At its core, this alchemical mirror reflects not only the external processes of laboratory experimentation but also the internal journey of self-discovery. Bacon intricately intertwines the art of transmutation with the science of the soul, urging the seeker to alchemize their own consciousness in tandem with their laboratory pursuits.
The brilliance of Bacon's work lies not only in its practicality but also in its poetic invocation of the alchemical quest. Each chapter unfolds like a mystical incantation, beckoning the reader to delve deeper into the alchemical opus. From the stages of calcination to coagulation, Bacon demystifies the alchemical process, making it accessible to both seasoned practitioners and those new to the alchemical tradition.
"The Mirror of Alchimy" is an illuminating testament to the enduring allure of alchemy—a profound exploration of the interconnectedness between the earthly and the celestial. As readers gaze into this alchemical mirror, they are not only confronted with the reflection of laboratory apparatus but also with the hidden recesses of their own spiritual landscape.
In a world where the pursuit of wisdom is often obscured by the mundane, Bacon's mirror serves as a timeless reminder that, like the alchemists of old, we are all engaged in the grand work of refining ourselves, transmuting the leaden aspects of our existence into the gold of inner enlightenment.

If you are not into christian iconography for your winter style solstice festival but still want to decorate your coniferous evergreen tree not native to middle eastern climates that you have in your home as symbol of nature enduring through the cold winter than do I have some ornaments for you. Decorate now, or decorate whenever, there is no wrong time for swords, keys, and alchemy!
