The teachings of hermetic alchemy spread from ancient Greece to Rome, all across Europe and then into the era of the British Empire. English chemist and alchemist Sir Issac Newton was a keen advocate of Alchemy and translated a highly acclaimed manuscript "The Emerald Tablet"pic.twitter.com/zOn66rqxmu
The real author of the tablet is unknown to this day. Here is the translation by Newton - Tis true without lying, certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracle of one only thing
And as all things have been and arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation. The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.
The father of all perfection in the whole world is here. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth. Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry. It ascends from the earth to the heaven
and again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior and inferior. By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing. So was the world created. From this are and do come admirable adaptations where of the means is here in this.
Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist [sic], having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.
Now lets discuss some of the principles of Alchemy. Three Primes (Tria Prima) Sulphur – The omnipresent spirit of life. Mercury – The fluid Connection between the high and the low. Salt – Base matter.
Spiritus, Anima, and Corpus (Spirit, Soul, and Body) I believe these 3 principles are another version of the winged globe of Eqypt symbol (pictured)pic.twitter.com/RQVZvZ1EBA
This symbol, which appears in every masonic lodge and temple is emblematic of the three persons of the Egyptian Trinity. The wings, the serpents, and the solar orb are the insignia of Ammon, Ra, and Osiris. In Christianity, this became The Father, Son & The Holy Ghost.pic.twitter.com/4GoWRwVwzH

Many people misunderstand alchemy. They believe its simply the transmutation of one type of metal to another. And this is true on a certain level but to the enlightened - It is an ancient spiritual discipline that aims to turn unpure souls into pure souls.
The concepts and images of Alchemy are similar to Wicca in a sense. The uninformed see these images being related 100percent to science and chemistry, but to the aware ones, they are symbols of deep spiritual wisdom.pic.twitter.com/vAAyk6YUBI
Next - let's discuss the 12 operations of Alchemy in more detail. Some sources claim only 4 or 7 steps. But for the purposes of this thread, I'm going to focus on the theory of Sir George Ripley - one Englands most famous alchemists.pic.twitter.com/poI9ibl1rk

Let's do a quick break down of the 12 operations of Alchemy. This is pretty complex stuff so I will try and keep it short and simple as possible. Images and text below can be found at http://twineflameunuon717.com - check it out for deeper explanations if you're interested.pic.twitter.com/3EETcml1qR
Calcination - Calcination is a decomposition or breaking down from ego, shame, fear, old paradigms, old patterns, old beliefs, past life trauma, subconscious to conscious trauma into the higher consciousness.pic.twitter.com/yoGmoyzmET
Dissolution - The process of Dissolution is a further breakdown of the artificial structures of the psyche by total immersion in the unconscious, the rejected part of our consciousness through the form of dreams, voices, visions, and strange feelingspic.twitter.com/r3ddR3slD4
Separation - The process of separation involves rediscovering our authentic self or feelings for a person. In this stage, many things surface up example, anger, frustration, or disappointment towards one another or ourselves.pic.twitter.com/T0GH9YLS1T
Conjunction - Conjunction is the empowerment of our true selves, the union of both Masculine and Feminine sides, The Hieros Gamos, our inner marriage and union of our personalities into oneness, a pure state of consciousness.pic.twitter.com/3ORH4L7Lur
Putrefaction- Putrefaction process is of decomposition in all darkness. Removing all ego-based false beliefs, patterns, old stuck paradigms. As per Carl Jung, there are two main psychological sensespic.twitter.com/O7oWLNSa4V
Coagulation- The coagulation process is when new confidence that is beyond all things, though many experiences it as a Second Body of Golden Coalesced Light, a permanent vehicle of consciousness that embodies the highest aspirations and evolution of mindpic.twitter.com/f1RoVRMO6A
Cibation - Cibation is an Alchemical process of feeding the contents of the body vessel with fresh materials. What this means is making severe life changes, tossing of the old paradigms, patterns that no longer servepic.twitter.com/gHTR07fWhr
Sublimation - Sublimation is a purification process in the completion of the Magnum Opus. It is a culmination of two bodies and spirits. In the Twin Flame connection, this is the Twin Flame Union anchoredpic.twitter.com/TWqoVCNQ89
Fermentation - Concept of Fermentation, using wine as an example, we learnt that it is the fundamental death of a grape. Just as there is death, there is also a rebirth. In this instance, it is Soul Birth.pic.twitter.com/fDVPRVEPoY
