Happy International Women's Day!

"Women have always played an integral role in psychedelic healing and research, even if they haven’t always been highlighted as mavericks in the field. But as the “Psychedelic Renaissance” goes mainstream, it’s time to start recognizing groundbreaking women in psychedelic science and activism."

ANN SHULGIN
"Born in 1931, Ann Shulgin is often seen as a matriarch of the psychedelic movement. Before M**A was classified as a Schedule I substance in 1985, and then 2C-B in 1995, Shulgin provided psychedelic-assisted therapy with these substances for many in the Bay Area using her expertise in Jungian psychology. She is the widow of the renowned chemist, Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin, who had a license from the DEA to essentially invent new psychedelic compounds and test them on himself, synthesizing over 230 new psychoactive compounds in the process, including 2C-B. Together, they co-wrote two classic psychedelic books, PIHKAL: A Chemical Love Story and TIHKAL: The Continuation, detailing those substances, including their own rating scale to judge the personal effects."

"Alchemy" otherwise known as "Spiritual Alchemy" in English!; is pretty interesting stuff of study. The symbols and what they mean / represent & actually following through with the study of it & learning more about it as you go along, is a pretty fun process.
I'vebeen spending a couple of years on it and it's just interesting when you're bored you read up on it and what the philosophy behind it actually stands for makes it extremely easy lost in another Universe altogether!
It's crazy to think that like this spiritual / scientific ideology is pretty much the basis of all modern science (maybe not mathematics) but definitely THE modern Sciences as we know them today, simply put.

(A lot of highly spiritual people and members of those communities like to make the connection with Alchemy and the ancient city of Atlantis as well as a bunch of other ancient civilizations and the connection between Alchemy or The Emerald Tablets of Thoth and Khem Society --basically Ancient Egypt)

I don't believe that my specific beliefs on you know whether Atlantis existed or not as important but definitely worth sharing the ideas of Alchemy. Highly suggest you look into it.

"I, THOTH, the Atlantean, master of mysteries,
keeper of records, mighty king, magician,
living from generation to generation,
being about to pass into the halls of Amenti,
set down for the guidance of
those that are to come after,
these records of the mighty wisdom of Great Atlantis.

In the great city of KEOR on the island of UNDAL,
in a time far past, I began this incarnation.
Not as the little men of the present age did
the mighty ones of Atlantis live and die,
but rather from aeon to aeon did they renew
their life in the Halls of Amenti where the river of life
flows eternally onward.

A hundred times ten
have I descended the dark way that led into light,
and as many times have I ascended from the
darkness into the light my strength and power renewed.

Now for a time I descend,
and the men of KHEM (Khem is alchemy in ancient Egypt)
shall know me no more.

But in a time yet unborn will I rise again,
mighty and potent, requiring an accounting
of those left behind me." The Emerald Tablets of Thoth.
