@RadixVerum @Pamphlet Anon - In the Hermetic School which Freemasonry & a lot of other secret societies come from, there's definitely the use of intoxicating elements, but not necessarily psychedelics as commonly known.
Alcohol, Incense blends, & potions created using the techniques of Alchemy.
You have gained a rank @Nothing, you just advanced to 3 . Thanks for all you do Patriot!
Alchemy is a very hidden part of the magical arts, it's only ever taught to a select few
@Pamphlet Anon - The reason Gold was so valued is because it is incorruptible, it was seen as being a "divine" or "immortal" element compared to the rest of creation
The Philosopher's Stone was a medicine of immortality; extracting the essence of the immortal element & making it something the human body could be nurtured with
We see the same quest in the Rasayana of the Vedic Alchemists & the Daoist External Elixir; they eventually focused on the internal elixir
From the internal elixir came the whole of the Yogic style practices; Dao Yin, Tai Chi, etc. The Western Hermetic Tradition has a tradition known as "the body of light"
