Yay Alchemy!


Even though I'm not that much into horror movies anymore I'm glad that a friend gave me this as a present. I'm very interested in Alchemy and was surprised that they put in a lot of info and even explained some of the philosophy.

I also have a weakness for this Indiana Jones adventure stuff, so I quite enjoyed this movie.

Oh just saw this, I explained some of my fascination for Alchemy in a reply I wrote to you a few minutes ago in another thread. This is it: 'I read a book on Alchemy a while ago, and it was extremely fascinating. Most people believe Alchemy is just some bizarre culmination of materialistic thinking, when in fact there's this very imortant branch of inner Alchemy, which is the process of refining and purifying your soul, creating your inner gold so to speak. Which is why C.G. Jung was very interested in Alchemy.'

I find the Hermetic worldview very interesting ('as above, so below' is from a text of the Emerald Tablet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Tablet by Hermes Trismegistus)

What are your favorite inferno movies? Are they all horror movies?

It's not often seen in a horror movie. I did appreciate that.
