Eureka, Weirdos! We've discovered a new obsession!  A fascinating and sometimes SEXY spiritual science called ALCHEMY!!  This is part one of our alchemy series and like the thousands of female alchemists before us we are rushing for those test tubes. Ashley starts us off with an introduction to alchemy.  What is it?  Where did it start?  How did it go from an attempt to turn metals into better metals to a spiritual journey of trying to turn yourself into a better person?  To live eternally?? What does sex have to do with any of it? Lauren is teaching us all about the coveted Philosopher's Stone!  Was it a stone?  Why does everyone want it?  Has anyone ever actually found it? What does Harry Potter have to do with any of this?   We explore the humble beginnings of The Great Work and marvel over the many, MANY amazing discoveries and inventions that we have today thanks to the pursuit of this wacky magical pasttime. Next week in part two we are going to be discussing several KEY PLAYERS throughout the history of alchemy, their contributions and whether they achieved their Magnum Opus.
