Kabbalistic Alchemy

Kabbalistic alchemy combines Jewish mystical teachings with the symbolic practices of traditional alchemy. It sees the transformation of base metals into gold as a metaphor for personal spiritual growth. In this context, alchemy represents the process of refining one’s soul and attaining higher consciousness. Practitioners use mystical symbols and concepts from the Kabbalah, like the Tree of Life, to understand the divine and their inner selves. Ultimately, Kabbalistic alchemy aims to achieve spiritual enlightenment and union with the divine, paralleling the physical transformation sought in traditional alchemy.
