Greetings: Webster defines Alchemy as: "A medieval chemical philosophy whose chief aim was the conversion of base metals into gold. 2: An apparently magical power" The Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia does a little better with a short history . Unfortunatly this is probably the current belief. The purpose of this page is to correct that perception. The modern Alchemist studies the history of the system with a deep respect for the contributions and dedication of the Founders, but he also uses the tools and research conventional science has to offer.

The real aim of Alchemy is the Transmutation of all elements, physical, mental, and spiritual. Conventional science has acchieved the medieval dream of element conversion with atomic fire. New elements are being created regularly and old ones transmuted to energy and chaos. The "Philosophers Stone" of spiritual transformation sought by the old and new alchemists has been forgotten by conventional science. Alchemy is considered "bad science" by most conventional scientists, but I believe a merging of information would be beneficial for all concerned.
