"Medieval and Renaissance European alchemy, peaking at the time of Shakespeare, is a heavily coded symbolic system. There are two historical streams to alchemy. First, as a misguided literal attempt to convert base metals into gold that acted as a precursor to modern chemistry. Second, as an abstract symbol system whose development and study aimed at gaining higher consciousness."
