Alchemy (late Late. Alchemia, Alchimia, Alchymia), a peculiar phenomenon of culture, especially widespread in Western Europe in the Epoch of the Late Middle Ages. The transformation ("transmutation") of non-denominated metals was considered its main task of alchemists into the noble substances with the help of an imaginary substance - "philosophical stone." The emergence and attempt to implement this task go to antiquity.
Alchemical symbols and their mysterious values \u200b\u200barose due to the need for protection and disguise from a powerful European church. In the midst of his practice, alchemy was considered a heretic craft and caught the death penalty or worse, torture. The church considered an alchemy as a way for practitioners to fall on salvation beyond the "traditional" methodology. Although the ancient alchemical symbols were born due to this need, the basis of alchemical practice is based on the internal transformation and its achievement. As a means for this transmutation, alchemists used varying properties of substances in addition to the philosophical values \u200b\u200bof the characters themselves.

Abracadabra:
Magic Gnostic Formula (OK. I, N.E.). It originates in the tradition of chanting sounds, which their vibrations are fond of the sublime state of spirit (trances) and purify.

When wearing an amulet, this promotes the form of a pendulum and engraving on it.
There are many versions of the origin of this word, the most common thing is that the term comes on behalf of the Greek-Egyptian god Abraksas - the Supreme Head of Heaven and Eon. In this sense, Abraksas expresses the creative will of the Absolute, the desire of peace to existence.
One of the versions of the origin of the word is based on its consonance with phrases in the Jewish Aramaic language: עַבְדָא כְּדַברָא , Avda Kedavra, "What was said should be done", and עברא כדברא , Avra \u200b\u200bKedavra with an approximate translation "What is said must be accomplished." In the Aramaic B and V could be interchanged, from here the option "Abra Kedabra" and then "AbraCadabra".
The word (spell against various diseases) was prescribed to be used as follows. It was discharged by a column on a skid 11 times, while the last letter was cut off each time. A triangle was obtained. Such a gradual shortening of this word was to destroy the power of an evil spirit, and the patient, putting on the amulet, was to gradually recover.

Caduceus is a symbol of the complementary nature of these two forces operating in the universe, and the compound of two floors. They personify the forces of communication and separation, good and evil, fire and water, climbing and descent, as well as equilibrium, wisdom and fertility. In Alchemy, this is a men's sulfur and female mercury, the power of transformation, sleep and awakening, dissolution and coagulation (Solve et coagula) of great experience, the synthesis of opposites and the penetrating function of meditation between the highest and lower levels of reality.

The fifth possible correct polyhedron - Dodecahedra, according to Plato, corresponded to the fifth element, which God Creator used to create celestial bodies.

According to Aristotle, each element is one of the states of a single primary - a certain combination of basic qualities - heat, cold, humidity and dryness:

Sketches of tattoos fire

One of the four first elements, a male, spiritual beginning, acts as a breath, whiff, wind, like vital energy - Prana in Hindus, Qi from the Chinese. Blow and breathing are associated with creation, hence the idea of \u200b\u200bthe soul as a breath ("Last Sigh"). Egyptian God of Air Shu created the sky and land; The exhalation of Indian Brahma is the creation of the world, and inhale is his destruction. In China, heavenly gates are served in China, which correspond to the principles of Yin (open) and Yang (closed), serve as a life-giving respiratory emblem.

In Christianity, the whiff is the empowerment of a person, as well as an introduction to the Divine; So, in the Gospel of John the Risen Christ is the disciples: "... blew and tells them: Take the Holy Spirit" (in 20: 22).

With air as a primary element is associated with an idea of \u200b\u200bthe air - divine luminous substance filling the universe; This substance is closed by the Supreme God. In antique and medieval natural philosophy and medicine, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe pneumatic - substance, which occupied the intermediate position between bodily and spiritual; Arceding from inhaled air, "thin evaporations" of blood, digestible food, etc., many ancient authors of the pneuma came closer to ether (hence the ideas about the essential body) or thought as a special kind of heat, different from the heat of fire. Pniewmakers systematized Galen; He argued that there are three common pneums corresponding to the three systems of spiritual forces and providing different levels of functioning of the human body. The natural pneuma is formed in the liver and distributes from there on the veins along with blood. Part of the blood, falling into the heart, connects with air coming from the lungs, as a result of which the natural pneuma turns into an animal, which comes from the heart to arteries. Lifting with blood into the brain, the animal pneuma is converted there into the pneumatic mental, which is transmitted to other parts of the body in nerves.

Sylphide - air spirit.

Air wind structures the space; cf. Wides-known ideas about four winds as coordinates of space. These winds contacted not only with four sides of the world, but also with four seasons of the year, with seasonal cycles and, as a result, with fertility.

Strong wind - Bulletin of the Divine Will; According to the Bible, the Lord answered Iowa from the storm and from the stormy received the revelation of John theologian. However, in folklore, the wind turns into a habitat of unclean power. As P. S. Efimenko notes, "the whirlwind there is an unclean force, which, see what the thunderstorm rises, runs from her, so as not to struck the arrow. Wishing to see an unclean strength - a whirlwind ... Must who removed the cross, look in the inclined position between the legs. Watching the vortex in the form of a huge person, a mascule and running as he could see the vortex in the form of a huge person.

In addition, the whirlwind and by itself (as a turbulent air flow) is associated with unclean power. It is believed that in the vortex the evil copes weddings. The whirlwind should be distinguished from the wind, since the whirlwind means only something evil and hostile, and the wind can be both evil (and bring illness) and good. If you throw a knife into the whirlwind, you can hurt the spirit that hides inside.

Alchemical tradition knows the inhabitants of the air - Sylves. It is argued that the Sylves live on the islands washed by air. They appear and disappear with speed lightning. Mainie P. Hall writes: "... and vision, and hearing, and mind, and everyone else they differ from mortals as much as the air is licensed with the purity of water or air from the air." The aril by the Sylves is changeable, they cannot be in one place for a long time and constantly roame, using the cloud movement as a means.
