I am frequently asked, “What Is Alchemy?” Alchemy is a Language … a Science … an Art! The Pursuit of Alchemy is a means of altering one's Perceptions and one's Consciousness Transmuting Fear into Understanding, Ignorance into Comprehension … The Study of Alchemy reveals Alchemy as the Source and Bridge to all religions, philosophies, and creeds Which seek to transmute the human heart so as to enlighten and enliven the Soul of Man…. Contained within Alchemy is the core narrative of humanity .... Alchemy is demanding, requiring time, discipline, and dedication ….. Her rewards are Wisdom and Understanding. Her gifts are Freedom and Determination! Alchemy will provide One the answers One seeks, But will not wrest her secrets easily or to the unworthy. Within Alchemy lay the Keys necessary to achieve whatever it is you seek to achieve … Alchemy will permit no illusions, no deception, no ego ... The Pursuit and Study of Alchemy is the Pursuit and Study of Transmutation, its essence and nuances. Transmutation is Power. Power to not merely change Oneself or One's circumstance, But to EVOLVE into something completely different! To Magnify Oneself, and become Magi To Wisen Oneself, and become Wizard. Something beyond mere Change or Transformation … But to be carried from one State of Being into another. This … this is the Art of Alchemy! Join me, and I shall be your guide as we shall discover the world within our world together! -- Aubrey Forest "The Modern Alchemist"
