1. Ziyini izimpawu ze-alchemical?

Ekuqaleni zakhulelwa njengengxenye ye-alchemy noma i-proto-science (pre-science), kamuva eyashintsha yaba ikhemistri. Kuze kube sekhulwini le-18, izimpawu ezishiwo ngenhla zazisetshenziselwa ukuchaza izakhi nezinhlanganisela ezithile. Izimpawu zazihluka kancane emakamelweni ezazi ze-alchemists, ngakho lezi esizaziyo kuze kube namuhla ziwumphumela wokumiswa kwalezi zimpawu.

2. Zibukeka kanjani izimpawu ze-alchemical?

NgokukaParacelsus, lezi zimpawu zaziwa ngokuthi Ezintathu Zokuqala:

usawoti - obonisa isisekelo sento - ephawulwe ngendlela yendilinga enobubanzi obuvundlile obumakwe ngokucacile,

i-mercury, okusho isibopho esiwuketshezi phakathi kokuphezulu nokuphansi, iyindilinga ene-semicircle phezulu nesiphambano phansi,

isibabule - umoya wokuphila - unxantathu oxhunywe isiphambano.

Okulandelayo izimpawu zezakhi zomhlaba, zonke zisesimweni sikanxantathu:

• Umhlaba ungunxantathu onesisekelo phezulu, unomugqa ovundlile owuwela,
• Amanzi angunxantathu onesisekelo phezulu,
• Umoya ungunxantathu wendabuko onomugqa ovundlile,
• Umlilo ungunxantathu wendabuko.

Izinsimbi ezimakwe ngezimpawu zamaplanethi nezindikimba zasemkhathini:

• igolide - lihambisana neLanga - uphawu lwalo yiLanga elivezwe ngokugqamile elinemisebe,
• isiliva - efanekiselwa iNyanga - uhlobo oluyingcaca lwenyanga entsha - okuthiwa i-croissant
• ithusi - lihambisana neVenus - lokhu kuwuphawu lombuthano onesiphambano esinamathiselwe - uphawu lobufazi,
• insimbi - ifanekisela iMars - isibonakaliso sobudoda - umbuthano nomcibisholo,
• i-tin - ifanekisela i-Jupiter - isibonakaliso ngesimo somhlobiso,
• i-mercury - uphawu lweMercury (echazwe ngenhla),
• ukuhola - kuhambelana neSaturn - uphawu lubukeka njengohlamvu oluncane u-h, olugcina ngesiphambano phezulu.

Izimpawu ze-alchemical zihlanganisa:

I-Ouroboros iyinyoka edla umsila wayo; ku-alchemy, ifanekisela inqubo ye-metabolic evuselelwa njalo; yiwele letshe lesazi sefilosofi.

I-Heptagram - isho amaplanethi ayisikhombisa aziwa osokhemikhali ezikhathini zasendulo; izimpawu zabo ziboniswe ngenhla.
