Alchemy - Isaac Newton & the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus

Isaac Newton is well known as the luminary behind fundamental discoveries in optics, physics and mathematics but do you also know he wrote over 1,000,000 words on Alchemy and Occult Biblical Analysis? Join me in this episode as I begin an exploration of Newton's Alchemical theories by turning to his Translation and Commentary on the famed Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus along with his early treatise Humores Minerales which explores the geo-alchemical origin of the metals!
