“What is the general attitude in our day toward this Hermetic science usually referred to alchemy? The word is of Islamic origin and signifies ‘the science of al-Kemit’ encountered by the Arab invaders of Egypt, the ancient Kemit which gave so much light to an Islam setting out to conquer the world. For nearly everyone, alchemy is the science of ‘making gold’ and nothing more. For some, it is a fantasy; for others, a mysterious science of fascinating discovery. There are also the ‘spiritually minded’ who consider alchemy to be a psychospiritual science of transforming consciousness, and the acquisition of psychic if not spiritual powers.”
