I'm trying to start up a class about Alchemy in CoT but my studies are in Chinese Alchemy and I'm looking for a co-teacher so the class can include Western Alchemy too. Anyone up for the task? :3

I'm looking for someone who at the very least can explain the history, the symbols used, the theory/philosophy/world-view and some common practices. Obviously when it comes to External Alchemy one doesn't want to give people the impression that an online course will teach you all you need to know versus an actual teacher. We don't want people poisoning themselves or blowing up their houses @_@ hahaha But I think we can do a course that gives people enough understanding to pick up an alchemic text and not go "whhhhaaaa? @__@"

I'd be happy to help. I'd have to research alchemy a bit, but I love research and I've been meaning to read up on alchemy anyway.

Hey ya'll, I am not volunteering here, cause I am no where near qualified to do this, but I wanted to suggest (if you haven't read or heard of it) that checking out the book Saint Germain on Alchemy or put St Germain + Alchemy into a google; there appears to be a good deal of archived text etc. If this is like a "Duh, no kiddin dopey, we knew that" I am sorry. I just remembered that reading that was pretty cool.
