Spiritual Alchemy

Practiced alongside physical alchemy was a philosophical and spiritual doctrine of personal evolution and transformation. Its adherents strove to transform both their bodies and souls into pure, untainted representations of divinity. They attempted to attune themselves to the essences of the four elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water) as well as to the powers of the "Seven holy Planets" (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Sun and Moon), and they did this through intense study, experimentation, prayer and ritual. Through the application of alchemical principles and Hermetic wisdom, it was believed that the alchemist would become a master of both this world and the next.
