Chemistry

On the Elements

They belong to the guild of those who work in the exact sciences. Their working medium is categorized according to its properties and cannot be further reduced into simpler material by traditional methods. But mixed, the material can be mixed. In this way media emerge that possess far more properties than the sum of their qualities combined. But meaningful only when mixed by those who know the equations and conditions . An old equation which elicits a smirk today: He who wishes to avoid conflict should mix olivenite with zirconium and strew this powder in a circle about himself. A new formula with zirconium: amalgamation with niobium and you obtain a substance for coating nuclear fuel rods and atomic reactors.

We admire the responsibility-charged chemists

Primary Matter

Living earth  magic

Living fire magic

Water life magic

Living air magic

It teaches the lesson of matter

it teaches the conversion of matter

magical what transpired

golden the eye glistens without seeing

it’s changed in the head and then in the lab

metamorphosis then mediation

the naming in word number and sign

Earth fire water air

an old life-long friendship

Dear Sir

Philippus Aureolus Theophrastuz Bombastus

von Hohenheim you

among other things founder of scientific chemistry

would you look skeptically today at the pills of life?

how many of humankind’s chemical acquaintanceships have endured

without eroding its friendship with nature

only the gods of the elements know

and even they wear white coats

and Thank Them we can continually re-experience

wonder and astonishment at the metamorphosis

Magic earth

Magic fire

Magic water

Magic air
