Potent Potables Flashcards
Who was the father of alchemy?
“Books are in the temple.”
Bolos of Mendes, whose life remains shrouded in obscurity. Jack Lindsay, whose work on early alchemy remains unsurpassed, believed Bolo’s compilations and writings united the main threads of earlier alchemy into the form in which it existed for many centuries.
Bolos himself, wrote that he studied alchemy with a master named Ostanes, who died before revealing the full nature of the work. Bolos evoked the spirit of the dead Ostanes in a magical ritual. Though he was successful in summoning the spirit of his teacher, the guardians of the dead would not let Ostanes speak. He managed to say only that “books are in the temple.”
The single formula of alchemy:
A nature is delighted by another nature, a nature conquers another nature, a nature dominates another nature.

“All other things being equal.”
Define “menhir.”
A menhir (French, from Middle Breton: maen, “stone” and hir, “long”[1]), standing stone, orthostat, lith or masseba/matseva is a large upright standing stone. Menhirs may be found singly as monoliths, or as part of a group of similar stones. Their size can vary considerably, but their shape is generally uneven and squared, often tapering towards the top. Menhirs are widely distributed across Europe, Africa and Asia, but are most numerous in Western Europe; in particular in Ireland, Great Britain and Brittany. There are about 50,000 megaliths in these areas,[2] while there are 1,200 menhirs in northwest France alone.[3] Standing stones are usually difficult to date, but pottery found underneath some in Atlantic Europe connects them with the Beaker people.
