Un par de websites
Me he tropezado por casualidad con "The Alchemy Virtual
Library" , http://www.levity.com/alchemy/index.html , con 28 Mb
de rollo filosofico. Por supuesto no lo he leido mucho, pero
pense que esto podria resultarle interesante a alguien.
Resulta que la alquimia tiene su musica, simbolismo, lista de
correo, revistas (con aspecto de poco serias), grupos... entre
las aplicaciones practicas citan los fuegos perpetuos.
En favor de esta gente tengo que decir que no parece que
se lo crean, parece que estan interesados mas que otra cosa en
el aspecto estetico/intelectual del saber de algo exotico y
misterioso.
Dan esta lista de formas de ver a la alquimia:
- As a proto-chemistry, which gave a new impulse towards the
preparation of medicinal remedies
- As a source of symbolism, in which various groupings of
powerful archetypal symbols were brought together
- As providing insights into psychology, the inner archetypal
structure of human thinking and feeling
- As a meditative exploration of the human soul through
undertaking allegorical journeys
- As a type of mysticism, in which the alchemical
transformation is paralleled with mystical experiences,
and religious ideas.
- As giving insights into the metaphysical, which in a
strange way elaborates parallels between alchemy and the
investigations of present day physics
- As a newly recognised influence on cultural history, alchemy
is now seen by historians of ideas as an important shaper
of the world view of various writers, artists and musicians
Mucho mas interesante y divertido es el museo de los chiflados,

ingles, pero muy recomendable.
