Intro to AlcheMycology: looking at fungi through the lens of traditional Alchemy.

Alchemy is the art of transmutation, rooted in a traditional practice that reaches as far back as ancient Egypt. While plants, minerals, metals and animals were recognized in the alchemical philosophy and practice in the form of creating effective medicines, mushrooms and much of the fungal queendom were all but omitted. Fungi are nature’s own alchemistas (little alchemists) turning the treasures locked within the earth into medicine for plants, animals, and people. In this introductory course we will explore fungi through the lens and philosophy of traditional alchemy to understand their role in the environment and how to work with them to produce potent medicinal allies.

What you will learn:

What is Alchemy? Why AlcheMycology?
Brief History of the Alchemical Tradition
Looking at Mushrooms through the lens of Alchemy
Spagyric and the Three Principles
The Three Principles in philosophy and practice:
Salt: The Body
Sulfur: The Soul
Mercury: The Spirit
What can we learn by this framework?
