that's the thing

you have to know the language they're using

otherwise following the instructions doesn't lead to anything at best and is harmful at worst

Hey Dust what’s titans blood

know the language

don't know off the top of my head

Lettuce

I haven't even really fucked about with western alchemy because of this, I actually know more about hindu and taoist methods

Even the term azathoth can mean a material that has a `lot` of different properties depending on where you research it

because they don't veil it in 19 layers of bullshit, only like 4

Funny enough the person with the most direct western alchemy focus among us

it's probably ibis

Is ibis due to being a part of a western alchemy guild

yeah

why lettuce

@eudaimonia I still say you get pretty much all of the same stuff from Hindu alchemy

and more

western alchemy is only really singularly useful for understanding rosicrucian ideas

and even then just read bohme

@G SP because that’s what Greek niggas decided and there’s old lore which considers lettuce ancient and vampiric

Some say the azathoth makes you immortal, others enlightened, some say it's a soul trapped within a stone, some say it can be used to transmute any material into any other, all sorts of shit

Basically any one godly power you want

@eudaimonia fast

wym vampiric

azoth is a glyph for ain or tao

@mexicans

Phoenix blood

What’s Phoenix blood

man I kinda know that one but not off the top of my head either

but I've heard of it before

Pomegranate juice

kek, yeah

Now dragon blood is fucking cool

I am phoenix blood

Youre phoenix blood

It’s when you dissolve gold and crystallize the dissolution into a kind of red crystalline formula

Were all phoenix blood

@nogga

Which was used to make special ritual goblets?

I personally prefer the Lovecraftian Azathoth, an ultimate being beyond all other Outer Gods, above all realities and universes, who eternally rests, dreaming the infinite cosmos and all beings, including us, and gods, into those cosmos

A lot of western alchemy is fun but I don’t consider it
