Hermeticism

Inner Alchemy

The transformation of the self as the true alchemy.

The greatest alchemists have always taught that the true work is inner transformation. The laboratory is the human being; the prima materia is the untransformed self; the gold is the enlightened soul.

The Stone is within you - find it there.
