Video: Why Alchemists obsessed over the Tria Prima

[Paul Ferguson]

"Strap in for an Alchemy lesson because we're about to go over the Tria Prima: Salt, Sulphur, and Mercury, commonly known as the Three Principles. I'll tell you about their ancient origins as well as how the ideas changed under the influence of key philosophers and alchemists like Aristotle, Jabir ibn Hayyan, and Paracelsus. More importantly, however, we'll take a look at what they mean within a modern context that is both spiritual and practical."
