in a yearly cycle, embody the complex symbolism of alchemy and the<br />

Mysteries.<br />

Yet, the infamous Faustian objectives of unbelievable wealth and<br />

the Elixir of Life have also kindled the worst of human greed and avarice.<br />

<strong>The</strong> outcome was often disastrous for all involved. Loss of money,<br />

counterfeiting, swindles and murder. As a result, alchemy’s daughter,<br />

Science, led the world to believe that she had abandoned the pursuits of<br />

her mother in the sixteenth century. However, chemistry, physics,<br />

metallurgy, medicine and pharmaceuticals all flourished.<br />

This book analyses the closely related development of alchemical<br />

metals and glass technology from the earliest known practices in<br />

Anatolia, Syro-Palestine and Egypt. <strong>The</strong> Sabians of Harran and Yemen,<br />

and the Melchizedek priests of Jerusalem contribute a great deal. Using<br />

knowledge from Hermetic philosophy, we investigate the wet method of<br />

alchemy to find the green and lilac Philosophers' Stones.<br />

<strong>The</strong> importance of Light and Dew emerges from many diverse<br />

sources such as garden roses, the orders of Rosicrucians and the historical<br />

milieu of the Knights Templars. We find that the Ancient of Days could<br />

be much more than a vision of Ezekiel. <strong>The</strong> romances of the Holy Grail<br />

integrate all of our knowledge of the Philosophers' Stone into a<br />

consummate whole.<br />

Yet, our historical background can never be more than informed<br />

conjecture based on abundant circumstantial evidence. Considerable<br />

Jewish evidence is contained in the Bible and Kabbalah, both of which<br />

are deeply mystical and archetypal. Even these sources have more<br />

objective coherence than those of the other major group, the Rosicrucian<br />

descendants of the Indo-Hittites. <strong>The</strong> Rosicrucians prized oral over<br />

written tradition and have kept almost no records. <strong>The</strong> Elizabethan<br />

canons of literature are prominent exceptions.<br />

A new, modern element has abruptly changed this duopoly of<br />

knowledge. Whitegold, the modern Philosophers' Stone, now exists as a<br />

scientific fact. Many countries even granted patents. Whitegold spans the<br />

gulf of physical credibility in alchemy and integrates biblical mysticism<br />

with the oral traditions of the Rosicrucians. It is the one and only tangible<br />

element in a sea of subjective cleverness. <strong>The</strong> chapters that follow build<br />

on this newfound bridge of understanding.<br />

Four major theories integrate this work. <strong>The</strong>se are the dynamics<br />

of population interfaces in the Crucibles of Humanity, the emergence of<br />

the Israelite race, their early homeland aspirations and the ancient heritage<br />
