How to navigate the Alchemy Lab. The alchemists believed there were basically just two ways of knowing reality and that is how this website has been organized. The first way of knowing is the rational, deductive, argumentative, intellectual thinking that is the hallmark of science and our patriarchal Western culture. The alchemists called this Solar Consciousness and assigned it many code words, such as the King, the Sun, Sulfur, Spirit, the Father, and ultimately, the One Mind. Throughout this website, whenever the material involves left-brain solar activity like lists, linear thought, schematics, formulae, arguments and logic, the icon used will be the Solar button. The alchemists called the other way of knowing Lunar Consciousness. This non-rational, image-driven, intuitive way of thinking is an accepted part of mysticism and religion. Among its many symbols are the Queen, the Moon, the metal Mercury, the Soul, the Holy Ghost, and ultimately, the One Thing. Throughout this website, whenever the material involves lunar, nonlinear right-brain activity like drawings, paintings, mandalas, symbols, meditations, and music, the icon will be the Lunar button. Try to use both ways of knowing when trying to understand alchemical topics.
