This week we dive deep into the hidden meaning that is layered in the emerald tablet, and talk about how it has served as a guide for those in search of that most elusive of all treasures: The Philosopher's Stone. Then, Sam goes off the deep end and yells for about 7 minutes. Then, we end the episode. Enjoy!

One Hundred and Seven: Alchemy I - Hermes Tryhardgistus

This week we start what very well could be the end of us, as Sam and Jason attempt to tackle the massive topic of Alchemy. In this first episode of the series, the emphasis is on context and place setting, with Sam taking us from the creation of the world to the fall of the Ptolemaic dynasty as we search for the truth behind Alchemy's most elusive and fundamental figure: Hermes Trismegistus. This melting pot of God and Man, Philosophy and Myth serves as our jumping off point as we dive into what may be the deepest rabbit hole yet. We hope you'll enjoy

One-Hundred and Nine: Jason Special XI; Alchemy III - IT'S A COOKBOOK

This week we wrap up our series on Alchemy with an exploration of the physical side of alchemy, led by Jason. We explore the way that, through the ages, the alchemist pioneered scientific process and experimentation. After looking at the historical figures involved with alchemy and how it has been accomplished in the modern day, we then turn our attention back in time, to a recipe called 'A Work of Saturn', and do our best to decode it, using the combined few dozen hours of research we have between the two of us. It does not go well. Regardless, we hope you'll enjoy in any case!
