What is Alchemy?


-Alchemy is the Science of Creation-
By understanding the Chemical Makeup of the Creation in which you intend to construct and Aligning Oneself with the Source of All, Aether, Elemental Transmutation which is Chemical De-Construction and Re-Construction can be achieved.

The Next Step is to Set Forth an Intention, or to Hold Focus on the Desired Outcome.

*Any Usage of Alchemy Requires an Equivalent Exchange of Energy*
(Mana, Prana, Chakra, or Chi)

Elemental Square


There is a Natural Forming Balance in Alchemy called the Elemental Square.

Fire Burns Air

Air Carries Water

Water Drowns Earth

Earth Covers Fire



Ultimately, each of these have a distinct natural advantage over each other, providing a Natural Ease to Create Elemental Harmony.

Of course, too much of anything can destroy the other; Enough Air can put out Fire, Enough Earth can soak up Water, etc.  But in the same process, would destroy itself.  Each Element, although independent and fierce on its own, depends on the other Elements for it's own Survival and Thrival.


- Air Needs Fire to Help it Release Water -
To Help it Speed Up

- Water Needs Air to Pick it Up and Hold it -
To Help it Slow Down

- Earth Needs Water to Loosen it Up -
To Help it Move

- Fire Needs Earth to Help it Release Air -
To Help it Stop

For Starter Alchemists


Each person starts their life with a strong attunement towards One of the Four Branches of Aether.  Depending on their Birthday, this could be Air, Fire, Earth or Water.
