Today on the block is one alchemystic drawing. That's right alchemystic, not alchemic. The process of finding the secrets of the universe to find self-beyond self. It's actually quite Zen-Buddhist in ideals. It just uses proto-chemistry instead of meditation.
I attempted to combine some of the core alchemystic icons in this. First off, we have the ouroboros: the serpent devouring its tail. While there is very often a single serpent, it is used to represent a cycle, a return to the beginning. We also have, rather hidden, the Sephiroth. A gnostic symbol for the tree of knowledge. And of course fire, fire is a basic alchemystic tool and is often considered humanity's first step towards being the brainy monkeys we are today. Also, it's a simple metaphor for energy.
Ultimately this was supposed to represent, alchemystically, the constant pursuit for knowledge. As Johnny-Five may say: "Input!"
