Alchemical Scripture

 

Alchemical Scripture

The powers of the cosmos come together to form a realm that has always been, a cross between universes; the brood will be new yet perennial.

           

Scripture:

A new world, with beings of light, and a substance whose shape has never been witnessed before.  The mortals chant their mantra’s, and give their offerings unto the totality of the world.  They summon abraxas for a blessing unto their actions, and for fullness in their minds.

           

The prophecy was written in the elements themselves: the charges of the ions in sodium phosphate, the charges of the ions in barium chloride.  Their properties indicate the birthing of this new phenomenon.  The synthesis had been anticipated since the spirit made of salt, sulphur, and of mercury, was set free.  The seers and alchemists know of its place in the cosmos.

Interpretation:

The chemical formula determines how these compounds will come together, and what they are meant to form; 2Na₃PO₄ + 3BaCl₂ à Ba₃(PO₄)₂ + 6NaCl

           

Scripture:

The mortals bring their offerings to the alchemist, philosophers have determined their amounts.  Each substance in an equal quantity, measured to an infinitely small extraction of between 10 mL.  Each substance dissolved within the all permeating Nix, the substance of Nerthus.  Thus reflecting a universe within a universe. 

Interpretation:

Each reactant is dissolved in water with a certain molarity, 10mL of each solution.

           

Scripture:

As our realm, an inseparable combination of darkness and light, making one as itself; so will this new world be.  A reflection of our greater world, giving humanity a window of access through the all-seeing-eye.  With this, we will see what God sees.  Look closely, and behold.  Infinity in a grain of sand, Greatness in a speck of dust, the omniverse in the smallest pixel of reality, the All in Nothingness.

           

The call is made, calibers combined, fate is settled and destiny is established.  The new world is created, and as its creatures fall, their ether is extracted and evaporated; leaving them without access to us, not even a memory of their ancient world is left.  The greater mortals await the day in which the creatures of this new world find with them a common ether, a medium between us and them, our earthly atmosphere.  Until then, they are eternally asleep to us, inanimate, unconscious of their existence, they live in their own level of reality.  Their perpetual potency amounting to .903 grams.

Interpretation:

The solutions are brought together to form barium phosphate. The excess solution is separated by filtration and evaporated from the precipitate.  The precipitate formed amounts to .903 grams.

           

Scripture:

Their potency is a reflection of the potency of that which they were created from.  The new, inferior god holds one part. The intermediate god was only twice as great.  But the ecumenical god was three times as great.

Interpretation:

This tells of the molar proportions according to the stoichiometry of the chemical equation.  The ratio between the barium phosphate and sodium phosphate was 1:2, and between sodium phosphate and barium chloride was 2:3.

           

Scripture:

In another dimension, the ether that their neglect left behind combines with unlimited source of sodium phosphate; a ceaseless creation.  The sources are traced back to the original hoards.  The first of the three gods, the intermediate, beheld the sodium phosphate universe, the second beheld barium chloride, to provide the third with the chimerical barium phosphate.  This was predestined, it was foretold. 

Interpretation:

To determine the which of the two reactants was limiting, some of the filtrate is mixed with sodium phosphate, and forms precipitate.  This says that the filtrate was excess barium chloride, and the limiting reactant was sodium phosphate.  There was also an excess in both sources which were used to determine which reactant came from which tube.  The first tube (A) contained sodium phosphate, the second (B) contained barium chloride. 

Scripture:

The traces left behind tell the story of a deficient god; the intermediate, he who held the sodium phosphate.  And thus its substance within the Nix ether can be determined as a finite amount; twice as great as the third and inferior god.  His substance in the Nix of 10 mL was .0030002 moles; its potency then being .30002 M

Interpretation:

The limiting reactant was sodium phosphate.  Therefore the molarity of the 10mL can be measured by doubling the amount of moles calculate from the .903 grams of barium phosphate (.0015001 mols), by doubling it; according to the stoichiometric proportion.  The amount of moles of sodium phosphate in the 10 mL of water was .0030002 and thus its molarity was .30002 M.

Scripture:

Bide the ancient law Ye must,
In perfect love and perfect trust.
Heed these words the Rune's rede fore-fill:
An ye harm none, do what ye will.
What ye send forth comes back to thee,
So ever mind the law of three.
Follow this with open mind and heart,
Merry we meet - Merry we part.

-          Odin’s Law
