An Abyss
Hey there. I am intruigued by alchemy and all the Hermetic arts. Here's a passage from a novel I read today that I liked alot:
I thought it would be nice to have a presence here and have the odd chat with you folk. Cheers;

-From John Crowley's Aegypt, spoken by the character of Mr Talbot (Edward Kelley, Dee's skryer)Deep deep in mountains, where the earth is oldest, gold is. So you make deep mines to find it. But you must never take away all the gold; you must not, for you will take away the seed of gold, by which it grows. Like fruit, take away that which is ripe; leave the rest to ripen. And it will. Slowly, slowly, the stones of the mountain, the clays of it, grow up to be gold; they become gold
I thought it would be nice to have a presence here and have the odd chat with you folk. Cheers;

Re: An Abyss
I am honoured you could join us!
I've seen you've mentioned that book before, now I might just have to read it since I liked what you wrote before!

Is the 'prima materia' user class symbolized by a big turd, or is that meant to be lead?
For an amazing film about alchemy which includes a sequence in which the magus tranforms a turd into gold nuggets, check this out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071615/

If you liked "The Wall" (you know, the Pink Floyd movie), but thought it was a bit of a downer and suffered from the lack of a fat woman humping an excitable, legless, animatronic horse, this movie could be for you.

Re: An Abyss
if I knew poop was so prominent in alchemy that could have explained a lot
also it may have made me rethink getting into alchemy....or getting cats...
if there's one thing I hate, it's poop.
I won't even fertilize my flowers with it...I always use dried blood
but everyone starts out as a poo on this forum....xst that is funny....at least you say it nicely "prime materia" sounds kind of final fantasy Xish...
what does interiora mean? intestinal tract?
