with various substances in the ancient labs of the alchemists that slowly and surely created modern science while trying to discover the secret of the Prima Materia - the source of all creation and existence and the invisible force that sustains the universe. Another concept that they used was the Anima Mundi or the "World Soul". The one force/soul or cosmic awareness that binds everything and is everything. The ancient alchemists were trying to purify endless materials in order to find the "Philosopher's Stone" - the secret substance that is mentioned in the Corpus Hermeticum that possesses the power of transmutation of matter and therefore can turn lead into gold, and provide the key to immortality and rejuvenation. Ring Elements The symbol on top of the ring is the ancient symbol of Alchemy which is a combination of the symbols of the four classical elements – earth, water, air and fire. The engraving in Latin on the sides of the ring says “Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Occultum Lapidem,” “Visit the interior of the earth and rectifying (purifying) you will find the hidden stone.” The motto originated in L’Azoth des Philosophes by the 15th Century alchemist Basilius Valentinus. #talismans #Magick #esoteric #picatrix #alchemy #handmade #designer #designerjewelry #kagoldjewelry #thePhilosopher'sstone
