As an investigative concept, the beginnings of

alchemy predate modern science by many centuries.

It’s profound influence on experimentation

and discovery remains a profound progenitor of explorative

studies today. Individuals in contemporary society view these

past practices as potentially abhorrent and especially ignorant

of the the present’s stringency on logical standardization.

That being said, alchemists were conceived from a myriad of

locations across the ancient world. While many of them had dubious

intentions, the altruistic dreams of some cannot be denied. Great

men and women of learning had humble beginnings practicing alchemy,

prior to the accomplishment of their reputed discovery. These accomplishments

in turn, would have provided for advancements in healing,

wealth, and human control over material substances. Understanding the

properties of gas, the first isolation and recognition of an element, and

western production of porcelain all had roots in alchemical practices.

Even Isaac Newton himself was a prolific student of the occult. By the

18th and 19th century, the age of enlightenment had begun to streamline

and reorder countless scattered discoveries, ending the age of alchemy.

These explorers lacked the common language needed to truly form the

united will of discovery. Without this, these alchemists compensated

with references to mysticism and religious spirituality. As a result,

their work is often viewed under skeptic lenses, treated not as

the progenitors of modern science, but as blind visionaries

seeking the unattainable.
