Alchemy, the transmutation of base metal into gold, is an ancient art like astrology, and appears in many civilisations around the world: China, Tibet, Sri Lanka, the world of Islam, ancient Egypt and Greece, and since the 13th century, Western Europe. There are some cross-cultural links, and it seems that Western alchemy comes from Egypt and Greece via the Arabs of Sicily and Spain. The word itself comes from the Arabic al kimiya. Also Marsilio Ficino at the Platonic Academy near Florence was responsible for translating Greek texts. Western alchemy seems more concerned with producing gold, whereas the Orient is more concerned with longevity. But I postulate that alchemy is in fact a symbolic representation of psychic integration, what depth psychology calls individuation, the merging of conscious and unconscious, the unity of spirit, soul and body.
