Is alchemy too personal?

In any occult or esoteric field none is so prone to solitude as the alchemist (or a person interested in alchemy). In a Satanism forum people can't shut up about their thoughts and feelings about a certain subject (probably because Satanism has a lot to do with Ego), but in an alchemy forum or discussion board people are less willing to share or explain or divulge things. I am not saying that anyone here on Alchemy Forums are suffering from this as I have seen it on many other fourms who have sections semi-dedicated to alchemy. One even closed down after only a few weeks because of this fear of others and their thoughts!

Is the Sacred Art still suffering from the secrecy-plague? Or is it simply too personal (especially when spiritual alchemy is concerned)?

I hope not, that would be silly. I am willing to give all I find out away free of charge. If alchemists in the 15th century could have had access to the internet and our lack of religious threats then the whole human race would probably have evolved further than we have at this point. At least that is my theory.

Open up!

Also I would like to add my disgust for dogma... there is no certain right or wrong in alchemy! If a person has all the answers to this forgotten artform I am sure this person would not busy him or herself by visiting this place (but if they do please don't keep the gnosis to yourself)!
