Metal-Planet Affinities: The Alchemical Bridge between Heaven and Earth

This book offers a modern reinterpetation of an ancient alchemical belief: that metals had 'affinities' with their parent planets. Thus gold is associated with the Sun and silver with the Moon. What does that mean in this day and age? Chemicaln experiments have shown that conjunctions of the planets affect solutions of metals that have the affinity, eg iron is associated with Mars, and copper with Venus. This book will be of especial interest to astrologers and school chemistry teachers. It describes the traditional divine archetypes, or the Seven pillars of wisdom, in modern terms.
