Brian Cotnoir | Practical Alchemy, Alchemical Philosophy, & The Orum Potibile
Liquid Gold, Don Nance and Counterfeiting History
The conversation addresses claims by alchemist Don Nance regarding "Dragon's Blood" or liquid gold and its effects on consciousness. Cotenoir expresses skepticism, emphasizing the alchemical principle of *per ignem* (by fire), which requires claims to be reproducible and testable. He notes that historical prohibitions against alchemy, such as those by Diocletian, were often driven by fears of currency counterfeiting rather than spiritual suppression.
