Alchemy is the art of transmutation of energy and transmutation of self. It is a healing art and a path towards enlightenment before anything else. And yes it is still being practiced and taught today. Alchemy is the transformation of the soul, turning your dull inner light, into a bright gold like light.
An alchemist was called a 'chemist' in popular speech, and later the suffix -ry was added to this to describe the art of the chemist as chemistry. The modern word alchemy in turn is derived from the Arabic word al-kÄ«mÄ«Ä (Ø§ÙÚ©ÛÙÛØ§Ø¡). In origin, the term is borrowed from the Greek ÏÎ·Î¼Î¯Î± or ÏÎ·Î¼ÎµÎ¯Î±.
