Alchemy in the news!

U.K. Man Sets Fire To Apartment Trying to Turn Feces Into Gold.

...the process involved leaving feces, along with fertilizer, on top of a heater. While this process did not manage to transmute the feces into gold, it did manage to transmute his entire apartment into a blazing inferno. Upon his arrest, [the would-be alchemist] admitted to arson and endangering the life of fellow residents in the building by starting the fire, which is estimated to have caused £3,000 worth of damage. Judge McFarland who presided over the case commented that Moran’s endeavors were an “interesting experiment” but that they were obviously doomed to fail. He then proceeded to transmute the next three months of Moran’s life into jail time. 

From Dear Coke Talk:

How do you find purpose and meaning in a life that might be/is inherently meaningless? 

Find out where you are on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Aim higher.

Though I prefer Grant Morrison's Magic = Life + Significance.

Oh, happy day!

The homunculus came home today. Right now he lies in peaceful contemplation.

Happy Independence Day and covert fire festival to one and all. I leave you for now with a wonderful post by Rufus Opus.

New Bob Ross of Magick Shows Us A Nice Easter Spell.

We like Inominandum's T-shirt which subtly evokes a clerical collar, and the occasional glimpse of his cat. Video content good also.

We're still alive, we're still alive...

Been out searching for Lost Worlds. We expect to be home more often now, as is necessary for the creation of a homunculus.
