ALCHEMY: METALS

ALCHEMY: METALS

In ancient times, certain metals were thought to have properties that influenced the energy around them. These metals could be purified using the alchemical process. Amulets, bracelets, rings, weapons, armour etc, were made with intention. The many techniques embodied Magic into these. This was done using occult symbolism.

GOLD: The Sun. Influences the heart, sense of self, willpower, organising ability, energy levels, integration, vitality, and success.

SILVER: The Moon. Influences water, growth, fertility, emotions, instinct, subconscious, psychic ability, cycles, genetics, and culture.

COPPER: Venus. Influences herbalism, magic, arts, music, poetry, theatre, harmony, integration, odours, and love.

IRON: Mars. Influences intent, violent energy, increases psychic ability, and increases physical power.

TIN: Jupiter. Influences good health, wealth, philosophy, and enjoyment of life.

MERCURY: Mercury. Influences communication, the mystical, dexterity, mental skills, and energy.

LEAD: Saturn. Influences old age, chronic disease, karma, and learning.

“The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.”
William H Gass

NOTE ON THIS: There is evidence of Iron being made into objects for over 5,000 years. The Iron Age was created by those who make up history as a reference, and it suggests its use was not until then.
