Alchemy – science, magic, art – or all three?
I believe it was all three, they were trying different ways to bring their dreams to life by exam different ways, At the same time, alchemy has often been seen as a get-rich-quick scheme and many alchemists as charlatans and pretenders. But many alchemists were, in fact, serious-minded practitioners whose work helped lay the groundwork for modern chemistry and medicine. Also, I found that Alchemy is called, among other things, the Black Art in reference to its alleged Egyptian origin. It is also called the Hermetic Art or Hermeticism in respect of its legendary founder.
