Talk:Suns in alchemy

Untitled
The allusions to Heraclitus and Empedocles are somewhere between the worlds of "Citation needed" and "What the hell?". One would be hard pressed to find any actual reference to alchemy in their works, much less Heraclitus' supposed use of alchemical terms that didn't exist for at least a millenium to come. It should be noted that the theory of all important philosophers being alchemists in disguise is highly controversial to say the least. To preserve a modicum of quality standards even in an obscure esoteric stub, I will take the liberty of deleting these references entirely, until a good citation is found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.207.1.157 (talk • contribs)

Maybe a link to a page about alchemical color stages would be helpful. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.134.130.112 (talk) 01:09, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Reference to Ficinus is not quite correct. I can't find it nor in Theatrum Chemicum, nor in Bibliotheca Chemica Curiosa (which is published at 1702 in Geneve). The English page in the reference does not seem to be very serious. Hugo.arg (talk) 12:36, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
