Historian Nevill Drury, in his book "Magic and Witchcraft," notes that, “alchemy” is thought to derive from an Egyptian word, 'chem' or 'qem,' meaning black — a reference to the black alluvial soils bordering the Nile ... We know that the Greek word 'chyma,' meaning to fuse or cast metals, established itself in Arabic as 'al kimia' — from which alchemy is derived." The Arabic role in the spread of alchemy is significant; many books on alchemy were translated into Arabic from the Greek before being introduced to European audiences.
As a heathen, Benjamin Balderson believes in the old ways, the natural masculine and feminine that are divine in all of nature. His work is based in the tree of life and he offers his work with no medical claims or advice. Tonight, alchemy! The rich history and how old world wizardardry has become modern day alchemy.
