Alchemy is a nature philosophy. It is a foundation stone of our western culture. It is a spiritual art and science using a symbolic language which comes forth from nature, the art of metallurgy and chemistry. The archetype is the Smith, working with the Fires of the Inner Earth, in his search for gold. It is an image which is symbolic for the quest of humanity towards enlightenment. Personal transformation and growth flowing forth from the ability to divide the dregs from the dross: that is the Golden Key that also the psychologist Jung used to open the doors to the subconscious mind.

The Alchemical Purification Process

The Hermetic Order of the Temple of Starlight guides you on your personal quest towards inner enlightenment. Alchemy divides the process of personal growth in seven steps. Seven steps of transformation to maximise your full potential. This full development is the ‘gold’, the road leading towards this goal is a method called the Stone of the Wise: this ‘stone’ is the spiritual matrix for development.

Guilds and mysteries

The image of a goldsmith, a craftsmen, master for a student, symbol for mystery and transformation. This image is for Rosicrucians, Freemasons, Golden Dawn, and now also the Hermetic Order of the Temple of Starlight a symbol for the way to enlightenment.
