The assignment is as follows:
Background
Alchemists created different symbols to indicate different ingredients, elements, and processes. These symbols were used when documenting the alchemists’ work and each has its own unique meaning. Over the centuries, more symbols have been added and modified. While most of the symbols were standardised, there was some variation between time periods and the alchemist’s personal style.
Below are some of the most commonly used alchemical symbols along with concepts typically associated with them:
Air
Associations: Warmth, wetness, blue, life-giving
Earth
Associations: Dry, cold, green, physical sensations
Fire
Associations: Hot, dry, red, passion
Water
Associations: Wet, cold, blue, intuition
Gold
Associations: Sun, perfection
Mercury
Associations: Spirit of life, transcending death, transformation
Assignment
Which symbol do you think fits its element the best? Would you change any of the symbols to better suit its element?
