Book excerpt: TRADITIONALLY, ALCHEMISTS ALWAYS VIEWED the seven known metals as having a connection with the heavenly spheres. As gold was associated with the Sun, and silver with the moon, so likewise was copper for example linked to Venus. Do these old beliefs have any relevance in modern times? In my youth, I became interested when I found that experiments showed that these ancient affinities did really work. I started doing this work in the early 1970s, so this opus is a kind of of life-work. This will be of especial interest to astrologers and school chemistry teachers.
