Those who practice spiritual alchemy call themselves philosophers, and operative alchemists philosophers by fire. For Fulcanelli and Eugène Canseliet, you can't be a philosopher and not be a philosopher by fire. alchemy goes through labor and praying, labor et ora... through the laboratory!
According to Jean Artero, Eugène Canseliet (1899-1982) was the greatest alchemist of the 20th century. There is no biography about him, so we asked this author to try fill in this gap.
Eugène Canseliet was the friend and the disciple of an other great figure of alchemy: Fulcanelli (1839- ?). Author of many reference works about alchemy that Canseliet prefaced, Fulcanelli would have made the Philosopher's Stone.
To make the philosopher stone, is to be able to separate what is pure from what is impure, by successive layers of purification (definition of Martin Ruland). Creating that transmutation gives the alchemist the status of Follower: he leaves the social field, becomes anonymous and healthy, wealth and Knowledge.
The first part of this presentation tells the life of Eugène Canseliet and his relationships with Fulcanelli, the second one tries give an idea of alchemy: an experimental metaphysic that aims at making the union between science and religion, in other words to feel, through darkness of material substance, the Maker's light...     Does the light have the power to permute forms? What is the role of tin, of antimony, of praying in the execution of the Great Work? Does an follower achieve eternal life. Think about this in this 60 minutes presentation and to meditate the creed of all the alchemists: "What is at the top is like what it is at the bottom, to achieve the miracles of one single thing" (the Emerald Table).
