I Am I

[Xcalibur254]

I am a novice to alchemy. I've always had an interest in the subject, but never quite figure out how to properly get into it. Then the other day I saw a member on Above Top Secret named Aleilius start talking about Fulcanelli and became greatly interested. So, I proceeded to do a quick wikipedia search on Fulcanelli and became even more intrigued. So, I contacted Aleilius about alchemy and he directed me here. This however is not a new fascination. I have always seemed to be drawn to alchemy and the Hermetic arts as a whole, but like I mentioned before I never really had any guidance on how to get started. I've just always felt that this was the way to deeper truths about the universe. I don't know how to explain it, I've just always had the sense that alchemy has the answers I'm looking for. So, I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me in getting started.

Hi Xcalibur254, welcome to the board!

Some individuals are meant to journey into these treacherous waters. It is our birth rite (birth write? bird write?).

Aleilius is a very interesting name! We don't have a member with that name here, but maybe this individual is incognito.

Greetings and welcome!

I guess some people start by making some herbal preparations, like
the 7 planetary macerations.
There's a lot of books out there to help you get started, or John Reid has
his course available online for free. There exists a "Complete Idiot's Guide to
Alchemy" by a respected alchemist - Dennis William Hauck.
There's lots of reading to be done to be an alchemist.
"Lege, lege, relege...."
