In ancient times Alchemy was the mysterious science of trying to purify, transform or convert one form of matter into another using magic, potions, spells, and all kinds of other trickery. It was based on the belief that everything was composed of four basic elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Most common practises was trying to convert base metals in more noble metals i.e: brass into gold. But some of the more secretive alchemist pursuits were searching for a potion to overcome death.
In modern times the relation of the alchemy and its ancient symbols nods towards our commonality, all composed of the same magic and all in the secret pursuit to ver come death. The modern alchemy of transforming our base selves into our enlightened selves.
