Alchemy
From New Age Village
Alchemy - The ancient science by aid of which the chemical philosophers of mediaeval times attempted to transmute the baser metals into gold and silver. One of the foundations of alchemical theories was that minerals grew and developed in the earth, like organic things. The desire of the old alchemists was to decipher nature's secrets, and thus attain the ability to do in a short period what nature takes years to accomplish.
