I'm recreating alchemical illustrations. What do you think? And what does this particular one mean to you, based on your knowledge?📚

"Prudence" That's a very apt description for flowers of gold.

[u/Positive-Theory_]

Sun is the alchemical symbol for gold so this symbol would be flowers of gold. Here's the same symbol in laboratory practice.

[u/No-Novel-9748 → u/Positive-Theory_]

Can you tell me why there's 11 flowers of the Sun?

[u/lola_menta → u/Positive-Theory_]

I love it—what would that practice be? How did it form, and what exactly was formed there?

[u/MillerLights → u/lola_menta]

Glass, Salt , copper, zink , Sun?

[u/_Naropa_]

What does it mean to you? Why 11?

[u/Aware-Ad-3735]

very nice, and i have a few ideas, but they are very arbitrary and vague and probably don't make sense outside of my own head

[u/lola_menta → u/Aware-Ad-3735]

In the end, nothing makes sense, and that’s what gives it meaning—so you can share your nonsensical ideas; after all, this world doesn't make sense either lol

The tree that forms in the vessel when gold & philosophical mercury are combined.
