The Royal Society of Alchemy

The Royal Society of Alchemy historically was a society dedicated to the study of alchemy, an early precursor to chemistry focused on transforming matter, such as turning base metals into gold or discovering the philosopher's stone. Founded in the 17th century, it aimed to advance scientific understanding through experimentation and debate. Today, alchemy is considered a mystical and pseudoscientific practice, but it contributed to the development of modern chemistry. The society symbolizes the pursuit of scientific inquiry and transformation, blending alchemical symbols with early scientific exploration in a historical context.
