Axioms of Alchemy: Tools and Principles of Transformation on All Levels.
1. Whatever may be accomplished by a simple method should not be be attempted by a complicated one. There is only one Truth, whose existence requires no proof, because it is of itself proof enough to those who are capable of perceiving it. Why should we enter into complexity to seek for that which is simple? The sages say: Ignis et Azoth tibi sufficiunt (the Fire and the First Matter are sufficient). 2. Great is the error of those who imagine that the Philosopher's Stone can be hardened without being first dissolved; their time and labor is wasted. 3. Art may be the handmaid of nature, but cannot supplant her mistress. 4. The nature of a tree cannot be changed by trimming the branches or by the addition of ornaments; it can be improved only by improving the soil upon which it grows or by grafting. 5. There is no other actual knowledge than the knowledge of self. 6. Nature is the product of emotion. 7. 8. An animal cannot became divine before it becomes human. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

In Pursuit of Gold - Alchemy in Theory and Practice - 4
Chapter 6 The Green Lion Lion It is said of “our mercury”, the artificial mercury, that gold will dissolve in it as ice in warm water, but the gold takes a long time, possibly a year, before this takes place. It is also called the “dry water which will not wet the hand”, and this because it arises as a vapour when it is extracted from metals, and naturally distills into a liquid when it is cooled. Before considering further quotations from a few treatises which bear out what has been outlined in previous chapters, it is as well to investigate some more rather difficult terminology. Prepared mercury is the vapour of metals, and extracted from antimony and iron. Saturn, the planetary name given to lead in the old days, was never used to describe the metal. Now to deal with the problem as to whether Venus (or copper) is to be used in the work of preparing the “ Secret Fire “. 58. The identification of each kind of mercury is one of the deepest secrets in alchemy. Back

Barcode Yourself by Scott Blake
Barcode Yourself is a complete, interactive experience in the series of barcode art, created using the personalized data of participants. Enter an individual's gender, weight, height, age and location, and the barcode is formed using real-world data. The individualized barcode can then be printed, mapped, scanned, even depicted on a t-shirt or coffee mug. Uber-geeks can even test out their barcodes on their next grocery run. It is in scanning a barcode that the project reveals its humor, like a banner that reads: Disclaimer! Human beings are not merely worth somewhere between one cent and 10 dollars. It is here, within the confines of an American obsession with "worth," in which the fun begins. The data entered into Barcode Yourself takes a topsy-turvy twist to its personalized end numbers, with the exception of the hard-data that correlates with "location," which tallies up in the Gross Domestic Product of each country.
