The CIRCLE!!

Its basic layout is composed of a circle inscribed with a hexagon ( which represents balance, perfection and unity) which inturn is inscribed with t he triangle representing FIRE. There are nine other alchemic symbols. I would ha ve put the actual symbol on the picture... but it would have been rather difficu lt to explain exactly which element goes with which symbol! SO... The # on the Circle above corresponds with the # below: 1 bismuth 2 mercury 3 white arsenic 4 magnesium 5 gold 6 (not sure will find) 7 sal armonic 8 copper 9 platinum [I'll be putting up a short description of each element (alchemy-wise) soon] Now on to the writing and its explanations BLUE WRITING- this is the outer circle. The inner and middle circles are exactly the same, only they break off - it'll be marked where in the passage: Pale white and black with false citrineimperfect white and red. The peacocks feather in bright colours, the rainbow in (End Inner Circle) the sky above.The spotted pa nther, the green ) lion the crow s beak blue as lead. These shall appear (Middle Circle End) beforeyou in perfect white. (Outer Circle End) EXPLANATION: the alchemists often used animals as symbols of certain steps and p rocesses. To obtain the philosophers stone there were a set of stages that would occur in a certain order these were: Blackening - Black Crow, Raven, Toad Whitening - White Swan, White Eagle. Greening - Green Lion. Rapid cycling through iridescent colours - Peacock's Tail. White Stone - Unicorn. Reddening - Pelican feeding young with its own blood, cockerel.<forms a "Red Stone " now go read the outer circle again! does it actually make sense now? heh heh, ju st wait theres more! NEXT GREEN writing: Pale white and black with false citrine (end) EXPLANATION- its a repeat of the outer circle but it cuts off PURPLE writing: After the perfect white follows the grey (end) Explanation- tack it onto the whole version of the outer circle! but the questio n.. is there more that was cut off?well apparently in ep. 8 when ed gets his full name theres babble on that page which part of it reads: "These shall appear befo re you in perfect white, with many others. After the perfect white follows the g rey and false citrine also. And after these shall appear the [covered/illegible] substance invariable, Then you shall "

ORANGE WRITING: And after these shall appear the substance (end) Explanation: its just another part of the paragraph above! ^.^ So the entire paragraph would read: "Pale white and black with false citrine imperfect white and red. The peacock 'sfe ather in bright colours, the rainbow in the sky above.The spotted panther, the gre en lion the crow s beak blue as lead. These shallappear beforeyou in perfect white, with many others. After the perfect white follows the grey and false citrine als o. And after these shall appear the substance invariable, Then you shall...."
