Transformation has always been the goal of the Alchemists. Whether it was portrayed as merely an attempt to become rich by making more gold or stay young forever, this was only just a symbol. You see, alchemists real goal was to transform the ‘heaviest’ elements of the real world to true enlightenment.
The Alchemical Ladder
Alchemists, as true bearers of the truth of the Old Ways, have symbolised our Spiritual Evolution with a Ladder. This Ladder has seven levels – which are all correspond to the seven chakras. Moreover, each level corresponds to both a planet and a metal. The Alchemical ladder (not to be confused with the Witch’s Ladder) is in fact a stairway to heaven, a way to broaden our spiritual horizons.
Each level actually symbolises a chakra. Moreover, each metal and planet corresponds to each vibration, being also the cure and the activating ‘element’. The symbolised the metals with a planetary sigil portrayed in our picture. Each sigil actually radiates the real ancient magic of the alchemists as it is written in their sacred language. Furthermore, easy symbol attracts certain qualities.
Symbols of Alchemists
So what exactly did you choose. This symbol can unlock you true potential as it will help you focus on what you could not realise so far.
1. Silver – the Path of the Goddess & Healing
If you have chosen the number 1, you have to know that the Goddess is calling for you. This is the Silver Path of the Moon, the path of the Mystics and intuition. It goes without saying that our advice is to listen to your inner voice as the Path of the Goddess required trust and devotion to your intuition. Your Powers have already been there, all along.
As this is the most ‘feminine’ path, you are both popular amongst women and you can also influence them as well as being profoundly influenced by them. One other aspect of the Path of the Goddess is that you need to focus on Healing (both physically and mentally). Early experiences or family needs, depression or illness, make you focus on healing through a very young age. Goddess heals and nurtures us. You are required to heal yourself and others.

2. Lead – the Path of Witches & Transformation
If you have chosen the number 2, you have to know that Transformation and regeneration is what you need to focus on. It may considered to be the ‘less lucky path’ as the Path of Transformation, the path of Lead is not an easy path. On the contrary. It may be the hardest of the all, but through this pain and sorrow, true Wisdom awaits.
You’ve experienced so much pain and maybe loss, probably from a very young age. Nothing seemed to be fair. However, all this is just an illusion of the Material Realm. As Lead is associated with Saturn, the Planet of Witches. Through patience and restrictions, a Witch finds the true purpose of Life. Transformation occurs when you learn to let go of this sorrow and pain. Once this has been clear, the Whole World will change for you.

3. Tin – the Path of Sages & Experience
If you have chosen the number 3, then you follow the path of experience. This is the Path of Tin, the path of Jupiter/Zeus who – as you know – is the King of Gods. Zeus encourages us to learn through living, through experiencing and learning. Both Education and Wisdom achieved from living experiences are governed by Zeus/Jupiter. Therefore, your path speaks about learning and achieving more in your life.
You are ambitious, yet you also have a thirst for freedom and learning. You dream of having a vast library, where you can access through the wisdom of the Ages. This is the Path of Sages, the Path of Adventurers and Scholars. One who has lived to tell a story. And yes, this story is so worth telling. Thank you so much for having you here with us.

4. Mercury – the Path of Alchemists & Travelling
If you have chosen the number 4, then your path is the most mysterious one. This is the path of Mercury, the Path of Hermes who is both A Healer, yet also carries the Souls to the Underworld. The mysteries of Life are presented to you from a very young age. You were somehow affected by something you saw, something you heard or experienced and since then you have never stopped looking for the truth. And you know what? You will never stop seeking the truth.
This is the path of Travellers. The most versatile path. You are ‘bound’ to change and change again, until you find the energy you are looking for. One of the most unique traits of your soul is that you get bored easily because in fact, what you are looking for, does not belong to this Plane. You are bound to look forever, until you meet the Soulmate or the Energy you are thirsting for. Although you are the ones who can easily adapt in even the most extreme circumstances, you are constantly looking for a reason to travel and learn more.

5. Iron – the Path of Warriors & Stamina
If you have chosen the number 5, you have chosen the Path of Iron which is though to be the most ‘human’ of all as it is extremely common in all human race. This is the path that echoes the blessings and the faults of this Realm. It is addictive but can also provide protection. Iron is the metal of Mars. This is the path of Growth, Strife, Lust and Ambition.
From a very young age you are ‘forced’ to fight for your life, to fight for existence and survival. Through loss and pain you’ve developed a dominant and protective personality. Let me remind you that as this is believed to be the Metal we humans are mostly attuned to. Therefore, it represents all the fights and wars as well as the industrial revolution and the ‘conquering’ of the material world. This is why Fairies despise this metal. In other worlds, if you have chosen this Path, remember that this Plane is only an illusion. Therefore, you need to pay more attention and nurture you soul with more ‘feminine’ energies. Loosen up and open your heart to the Greatness of the Universe.

6. Gold – the Path of God & Abundance
If you have chosen the number 6, you have chosen the most perfect and absolute path. The Path of Gold is the Path of God, the path of the Solar Deity, Apollo. Some keywords for this Sigil would be, Patriarchy, Perfection, Beauty and Monarchy. This the path of Kings and Gods, therefore it is not easy for everyone else. Why? Because we are slaves of our need for perfection.
If you have chosen this path you deeply need to make everything right, banish all pain, sorrow and poverty and live in a wonderful world. As you can easily understand this is no piece of cake and most of the followers of this path happen to ‘hate themselves’ for being too judgmental especial on themselves. However, through this Path, the Power of God awaits.

7. Copper – the Path of Enchanters and Charisma
If you have chosen the number 7, you have actually chosen the path of Venus – Aphrodite, the path of Copper. This metal has always been associated with beauty and youthfulness along with creativity and artistic expression. Therefore, this metal was used to summon the energies of love and sensuality as well as beauty. This is the path of Enchanters as this is the metal particularly used in most spells even from the dawn of civilisation.
This is one of the sweetest paths of All. It teaches us that life is not only about power and dominance, but it’s about finding balance and beauty in all of us. Our world is full of flaws but is also a wonderful place if you know where to look at. This versatile metal (second only to Mercury) teaches us that we can change all we want, as long as keep our hearts open to love and good vibes. We can bend, but we do not break.
