1. He aha nā hōʻailona alchemical?

Ua hāpai mua ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka alchemy a i ʻole proto-science (pre-science), i hoʻololi ʻia i kemika. A hiki i ke kenekulia 18, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā hōʻailona i ʻōlelo ʻia e kuhikuhi i kekahi mau mea a me nā pūhui. Ua ʻokoʻa iki nā hōʻailona ma nā hōʻailona o ka poʻe alchemist, no laila ʻo nā mea a mākou i ʻike ai a hiki i kēia lā ka hopena o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i kēia mau māka.

2. Pehea ke ano o na hoailona alchemical?

Wahi a Paracelsus, ʻike ʻia kēia mau hōʻailona ʻo ka First Three:

ka paʻakai - e hōʻike ana i ke kumu o ka mea - i hōʻailona ʻia i ke ʻano o kahi pōʻai me kahi anawaena ākea ākea,

ʻO ka mercury, ʻo ia hoʻi ka paʻa wai ma waena o ke kiʻekiʻe a me ka haʻahaʻa, he pōʻai me ka hapalua pōʻai ma luna a me ke keʻa ma lalo.

sulfur - ka ʻuhane o ke ola - he huinakolu i hoʻopili ʻia e ke keʻa.

Eia nā hōʻailona no nā mea o ka honua, ma ke ʻano o nā huinakolu.

• He huinakolu ka honua me ke kumu ma luna, me ke kaha kaha i kea.
• He huinakolu ka wai me ke kumu ma luna,
• He huinakolu kuʻuna ka ea me ka laina ʻāpae,
• He huinakolu kahiko ke ahi.

Nā metala i kaha ʻia me nā hōʻailona o nā hōkūhele a me nā kino lani:

• gula - pili i ka Lā - ʻo kāna hōʻailona ka lā i hōʻike ʻia me nā kukuna,
• kālā - hōʻailona ʻia e ka Moon - ʻano kiʻi o ka mahina hou - ka mea i kapa ʻia he croissant
• keleawe - pili iā Venus - he hōʻailona kēia o ka pōʻai me kahi keʻa i hoʻopili ʻia - he hōʻailona o ka wahine.
• hao - hōʻailona iā Mars - he hōʻailona o ke kāne - he pōʻai a me ka pua,
• tin - hōʻailona iā Jupiter - he hōʻailona ma ke ʻano o kahi mea hoʻonani,
• mercury - ka hōʻailona o Mercury (i wehewehe ʻia ma luna),
• alakaʻi - pili iā Saturn - ua like ka hōʻailona me kahi leka liʻiliʻi h, e pau ana me ke keʻa ma luna.

ʻO nā hōʻailona alchemical pū kekahi:

ʻO Ouroboros kahi nahesa i ʻai i kona huelo ponoʻī; i ka alchemy, hōʻailona ia i kahi kaʻina hana metabolic hou; ʻo ia ka māhoe o ka pōhaku a ke akeakamai.

Heptagram - 'o ia ho'i nā hokele 'ehiku i 'ike 'ia e ka po'e alchemist i ka wā kahiko; ua hōʻike ʻia ko lākou mau hōʻailona ma luna.
