Alchemy was (and is) considerably morethan the attempt to turn base metals into gold. To an alchemist, all material things ripen toward perfection unless something gets in the way. The alchemist's mission is to remove the obstacles that keep material things from attaining their perfection. For metals, that perfection is gold; for the human body, health; for the human spirit, union withthe divine-and all these and many more areappropriate goals for alchemical work.
