Solve et Coagula Modern: Magic & Ancient Alchemy (5/19/25)

The ALICE collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider has found a way to literally knock protons out of lead atoms and turn them into gold atoms. Researchers explained that when atoms just miss each other, the electromagnetic field around the atoms can cause them to change into different elements. These changes don’t last long, however, and produce very little gold. From 2015 to 2018, the scientists created 86 billion gold atoms, or rather less than a trillionth of a gram, though each atom only exists for a fraction of a second before breaking apart. Perhaps this explains why alchemical legends speak about how lead can only be transformed into gold when it is no longer needed or desired. Of course, alchemy is about far more than literal gold, but the CERN story confirms again that science and magic are inseparable at their core: astrology birthed astronomy, ritual magic birthed psychology, and alchemy birthed chemistry. If science is “knowing” by “observation,” then even mythology is an early form of science. The fact is, alchemy is much more than turning lead into gold; it is the mystery of life, the homunculus grown in a container, the earth egg and comet sperm of panspermia, and the brain child idea that produces invention. This should make us rethink the supernatural and occult. So should another study from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada. An experiment on mice and leaves has unveiled physical evidence of a biophoton phenomenon ceasing upon death, suggesting that all living things literally glow until expiration. Despite this fact, Science Alert says “It's hard not to associate scientific investigations into biological electromagnetic emissions with debunked and paranormal claims of auras and discharges of surrounding living organisms.”*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
