Alchemy Universe

[Grethe Presnar]

I am at the point in my life where I feel ready to share my knowledge and my experience with all those who are searching for more meaning and more value in their interactions with the others and with the world.

Through my life experience I came to realize that ultimately I belong to God, the One who truly created me and to Whom I will return in the end. He is the one thinking through me, loving through me and permanently living an unpredictable experience through me. He gave me this gift called LIFE and I give him back recognition and gratitude for every single moment I am alive.

And I am not the only one reaching this understanding. Spiritual masters, monks and devotees from any spiritual tradition or even simple people who sincerely stay in touch with their hearts, came to realize sooner or later that the Source of everything that exists which is God the Supreme Creator gives us the meaning we are looking for.

It is my wish to help, guide or inspire all those who are also in search for meaning in their lives. I am a passionate practitioner of inner alchemy by use of yoga, tantra, meditation and therapy. In my activity I like to combine notions and exercises from all these areas in order to meet the needs of each person I meet.

Alchemy, while often considered occult, is really just symbols used to explain ancient chemistry, and while some believed the Transmutation Circle held real power, it unfortunately does not. Regardless I have gotten into the hobby of creating artistic Transmutation Circles, that would plausibly work, if Alchemy as most people understand it were a fact of life. Every so often, I'll post some little tid bits about Alchemy in general as well, for those of you who are interested.

-This Array is the first one I ever made, and goes a bit over the top in terms of function. Were it a functioning Transmutation Circle, it would be able to invariable control the Air, Stone, and anything containing Iron.

-My second attempt, received high praise from my fellow Alchemist, who helped me to learn more than I did on my first attempt. This Array creates a Steel-like Alloy comprised of Iron, small amounts of platinum, and small amounts of copper, giving it the qualities of being rust proof, and having a light yellow sheen to it, making it appear golden. The Array also allows you to shape the created alloy, allowing you to make whatever you please.

-My first attempt into Zero Contact Arrays (does no require you to touch the material). This creates a doll out of stone or any other earthen material, and allows the Alchemist to control the doll through Alchemy. One Array would be tattooed somewhere on the Alchemist, while the second would appear on the golem's back.

-An Array requested by a Deviant Art user. This Array reduces the Serotonin in a person's body, causing nightmares, reduced healing ability, easier bruising, lessened muscle control, poor sleep, and various other negative effects.

-Version 1.5 of the previously seen Laser Array. This one was a success, and creates a focused beam of heated light, by gathering heated photons to the centre of the Array, then pushes it forward in the direction indicated by the arrow.

-This is a redux of an Array made by a friend from an RP site. It is a Universal Array, which means it can transmute any material, within limits, and can even break material down at a subatomic level.

-While this Array does not do anything, it was fun. This is my entry for the Skyward Sword Giveaway in the current Bank of Hyrule contest. It includes symbols used frequently in the Zelda series, all ordered in a specific way. The first person to accurately guess why the symbols are in the order they are, gets to request an Array.

This was a request for a Fullmetal Alchmist RP OC. This Array can control the vibrations that cause sound in the air, so long as it is in contact with the source of the vibrations. For example, the Array was intended to be etched on the back of a violin, so if the person with the violin, played a note-any note-then activated the Array, they could control the intensity of the vibrations causing the sound of the note, to such an extent that it can physically effect things.

The symbolism behind this one is relatively simple. The small circle in the centre is representative of the source of the sound waves being transmuted. The wave effect around the circle, is symbolic of the actual vibrations traveling through the air. These two symbols are contained inside a circle, which is symbolic of the fact that the reaction is contained and controlled. The triangle is symbolic of the air, and the square is just the base shape to represent the amount of energy needed and the complexity of the transmutation. The fact that both shapes (square and triangle) extend outside the inner circle of this dual circle array, but don't quite reach the edge of the outer circle, represents that the reaction takes place outside the area inside the complete Array, but is carefully controlled and directed. Finally, the text on the inside edge of the outer circle, is the second verse of the following poem about a violin: Violin by Mark R Slaughter

This one was another request, for another FMA RP OC (I am lord of the acronyms), called "the Inferno Alchemist". Both Arrays perform the same function, which is to dry out moisture and heat to the point of bursting into flames, or to freeze the moisture in the target.

The original request was to modify the Array used by a Fullmetal Alchemist character by the name of Roy Mustang, commonly known as the Flame Alchemist, which included replacing a symbol for Flames with a symbol for wind, and a salamander, with a cactus (this can be seen in Array #1). The wind is symbolized by the swirl at the top of the circle, and is supposed to represent the cold North Wind, for the freezing process. The cactus is meant to represent a harsh dry and hot climate like that of the desert, to represent the process of drying and heating. The second Array, is a completely custom Array of my own design, with the same function, only instead of using the symbol for wind and the cactus, I only use the symbol for wind, but rather as a symbol for the air and moisture. You can take the swirl to be moving cold air, or you can take it to mean the wringing out of moisture, and then the heating of the air with the friction of opposing air currents. In both Arrays, the extension of the vertices of each shape is representative of the fact that the reaction starts at the circle, but is moved and directed outside of it.

This Array is a fun one. It creates lighting, by creating static electricity from the friction of air moving over the earth. The top triangle with the line under the top vertex is representative of the air, while the opposite triangle with the line, is the earth below it, and the two arrows represent opposing movement. There are spaces in the array with inverted color, to symbolize positive and negative charges.

This is a simple Universal Array, designed to make spikes come out of whatever solid material within its range. The symbol in the center is one that usually means "element" but here I'm taking it to mean "material". The arrow is to specify the spike tapering to a point, and the vertexes of the triangles are the many places where the spikes can be directed (nearly 360 degrees).

An Array that can change the shape of the ground, or anything with iron in it. This was a simple one, so not much to explain about it, but that the triangle in the center with the line though it represent the earth, and the symbol in the center is the symbol for iron

One thing is absolutely clear - the way you take a a context, define and put an enormous amount of detail and thought into it, the conjuring, utilisation and application is creative a feat in itself, and the fact you use this in inspiration to create your alchemy circles really shows!

You can see the care, cultivation and passion of your ideas, and the pieces become so intricate and unique that they really do transcend the general geometric-designs of most alchemy-related circle arts.

I'm glad you like them :DD. That Array set is also a personal favourite, being one of the most functional, and one of the simplest designs. All my designs are kept as simple as possible, in order to avoid a misunderstanding of the Array's purpose, which in theory could wreak havoc during the transmutation.

This Array was inspired by the BBC Teleivision series, "Doctor Who". It replicates the Doctor's Regeneration process, which is like dying, then being reincarnated as a new person, who has all of your memories. It takes the bio energy from the target, and takes it out of the body, then replaces it by converting natural energy of the universe into new bio energy which because it is not the same energy, will change the person. For 24 hours after the regeneration, there will be a build up of bio energy that can be used for rapid healing and limb regrowth.

Another request from an RP site, this Array, takes any solid material, and constructs a chamber much like an iron maiden around a target to confine them, and has the option being spiked on the inside.

This is a Human Transmutation Array, designed to create a living Human Being. The three outer lines of text are the elemental ingredients of the average Human body, in order of most abundant. The first line on the outermost edge of the Array is common English, the second line with the less abundant but equally important ingredients is in a special coded font, and the third line is using Angl0-Saxon runes in the English language for those elements which exist in the Human body only in trace amounts. The inner most line of the inner Array, is a bunch of Latin proverbs as follows:

This Array, binds a mass amount of Human Souls (assuming you have some available), and binds them to the objects within the Array. The objects would be preferably humanoid in shape, such as a statue or a suit of armor, for then the bound souls could move the objects as a body, and you would have an army of undying soldiers.
