text: who beliefs in alchemy? i think that it is true and a real factor that many dont belief in this true magic. well not magic but more of a change from one thing to another. what do u ppl think? the alchemy that i believe in is not the alchemy that most people talk about. not transformation of one metal to another so much as intensification of hidden qualities. participation in a repeated derivation and recombination of the essential oils and the essential saltes of an herb intensifies the medicinal effect of the herb and refines the participant's personal vibrations to a 'higher' tuning.  i believe in magick too, and that's a much more immediate source of transformation.
