For technicians, the stone is only an abnormal growth of the philosophical egg that emits whistles similar to musical notes and with the ultimate goal of becoming a resonance tuning fork for a note coming from far away.
27. Concordances and Differences between the Humid and Dry Path
Alchemical working methods are roughly divided into two families: the humid and the dry metallurgical ones. I said “roughly” because the two methods often overlap: you can start with one and end with the other. Wet processes use solvents – not chemical, but alchemical – to achieve changes of state, while metallugic processes involve direct changes of state – precisely, being metallurgical. The aim of both is to bring Mercurius from act to potency, which will thus be defined as “extracted”. While it is easy to understand the purpose of the works in the humid paths, this is not the case in the metallurgical ones. Not only, they who can understand the difference and the concordances between the two main paths grasp the core of alchemical work, but they will even be able to intersect or alternate the two methods.
