Hey, there! I hope you're having a good day so far. I saw a page you posted the other day with alchemy symbols on it. I'm looking to read more about alchemy, specifically it's tie to witchcraft, and I thought I would ask you if you know of any good places to start. Thanks so much for all the resources you share! 💜
Hi,
The way alchemy ties into my witchcraft is that I use the planetary symbols and the cosmos in my magic. Also I use the alchemical planetary hours in spells and talismans.
When I’m making potions or flying ointments I’ll sometimes consult the book the herbal alchemist handbook by keren Harrison. There’s a lot of books on the subject of herbal alchemy that can be useful in incorporating it into your witchcraft.
I also enjoy learning about and using magical symbols in my practice like with sigil making. And the alchemical subjects are often allegory and represent something else. For example the philosophers stone is enlightenment.
Happy casting!
