The Alchemist Nicolas Flamel

Hey dear community, at the beginning I would like to welcome you to my new post and hope you have a weekend which has brought some interesting experiences into your life! In this article I would like to go into more detail about alchemy and it is a pleasure for me if you can learn new things about this interesting topic.

Nicolas Flamel is a French scholar and alchemist and even if it is not entirely clear whether he had existed or not, he has brought it too much fame and was even used in modern times as inspiration by various artists. Flamel is considered one of the best-known European alchemists who had published numerous writings during his life and according to legends had even managed to create the Philosopher's Stone and achieve eternal life. It is suspected that he was born in the 14th century in the French city of Paris and already during his life, he gained great fame because he successfully transformed noble metals into gold and he can be described as an extremely diverse personality who worked in various fields. One of his great passions was writing books or manuscripts which he sold in his own small shop in Paris and this was also the place where he spread his accumulated knowledge about alchemy and thus reached many interested people and he also had a good business sense and achieved wealth through his investments. He himself dealt a lot with the decoding of cryptic texts and symbolism and in this way he managed to discover recipes with which he managed to produce metals artificially and over time he produced more and more pure metals. In his works he reported a lot about his own occult experiences which show how important the spiritual side of alchemy was for him, which was essential for understanding the practice and whether he was really immortal is like his existence not entirely clear and some are of the opinion that they had seen him in different places and until today there are reports of people who claim to have seen him.

Thanks a lot for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about alchemy! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
