So apparently there is another side to alchemy. I would like to know everything you people know about it. Not just the chemical and metaphysical, but how it could be dangerous.

Of course alchemy is dangerous, oriental alchemists made gunpoweder. Nomatter how you slice it, alchemy is useing materials to achieve a desired effect or create a difrent material. Anything else falls under other terms...

What about spiritual alchemy? Any changing of anything to achieve a certain hold at least principals of alchemy

I am a spiritual herbalist and a medicinal herbalist. I use alchemy to create different medicinal compounds and can say that alchemy is both dangerous and difficult. It's a big pain in the rear so I wouldn't suggest studying it unless you're really interested. There aren't any practical uses for old world alchemy today. If you want you can pursue an interest in chemistry.

But I want to learn spiritual alchemy

Good luck it's often difficult and you get poor results. Try herbalism instead.

Like with plants and stuff?

Exactly

Uhhh, I dunno. What's so wrong with alchemy?

There's nothing wrong with alchemy, it's just difficult.
