Vulcan in Alchemy

Good day dear Hive Community, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new contribution and hope you are all well! In this post, I would like to talk about alchemy and hope you can expand your knowledge a little.

Here are some works of art that I have created with the help of artificial intelligence and represent the god of fire as well as the blacksmithing Vulcan from Roman mythology, which also plays an important role in alchemy. Vulcan was also associated with the element fire, which was of great importance for the mostly alchemical steps and according to Paracelsus, vulcan was the most important god in alchemy and nothing would have been possible without his help and Paracelsus once wrote that he had come to complete the work. He was also considered a protective god of hermetic art and he had the ability to clean metals from the mines before they were used for alchemical steps or the production of weapons and sometimes he and his equivalent hephaestus from Greek mythology were also associated with destructive properties and is also often associated with occult faith and allegedly he had a forge inside the Mount Etna in Sicily. The importance of this Roman deity often comes to the present and he was depicted in many alchemical paintings as well as other works of art and sometimes he was even portrayed as the creator of alchemy and from a spiritual point of view he was often associated with transformation and the destructive forces of nature and not without any reason he plays an important role in the alchemy.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read through my post and I hope you like it and can learn something new about alchemy!
