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,
http://www.teleport.com/~dkossy/  , desgraciadamente tambien en 
ingles, pero muy recomendable.
