It is very doubtful that Benjamin Franklin had anything to do with human sacrifice. He was far too intelligent for that! But he may well have studied humans already dead, just as many old time surgeons did, to learn! Da Vinci did! But, because of religion, such things had to be very secret.
I read that to but that chamber in his house wasent for that reason it was for dumping medacal kadabers durring that time they grave robed to get bodys for medacal experaments durren the time they were onley alowed one exacuted crimanal a year for medacal exparments so they grave rob that room was to get rid of the grave robed bodys not for pegan sackarfice you should do some reacherching in to the grave robing of the time it was so bad becuse the damand for kaddabers for medacal exparamentation wasent met by the alowence ita verey intereasting and bin franklen persataped in the disections but it was for medacal knowlage
Alchemy was also used in ancient Tantric practices, to blend different energies to produce empowerment in the light bodies. This was said to awaken dormant supernatural powers in the practitioner. Mutational alchemy, blends the East and West together. This system is based on the Abrahadabra grid. Very advanced body of light work.
Alchemy is not ancient and never will be, this respectable science still holds many grounds over modern day chemistry today. So you don't think it's important because we all use pharmacies? Did you know there are still apothecaries around the globe to this day, and without elements of today's alchemy modern day chemistry would be chicken scratch. Alchemic brews are entirely more natural and use your own bodies elements instead of pumping you with new ones.
Sorry for double posting, I guess I didn't satisfy my own needs.
Also, the reason why alchemy nowadays seems more like poetry is because practitioners are labeled ludicrous just as much as magic practitioners, so they hide their theories away through such means.
I've personally valuably considered licensing a personal lab just to satisfy my own research rather than to satisfy other's blatant disbelief. Here is my recognition of alchemy in my own poem.
Alchemy
What is more?
Is it needing something to abhor
Is it an opening door
Could it be on the floor
Shall it be to take what I have and appreciate it's mass
Twist and turn it until it blends in with the grass
Is it nature that we cannot nurture
Or nature that we take further
Maybe a light we let into our future
Let it burn until it is greater
Maybe whispering winds that tell a tale
Breathing in oxygen until we do exhale
Taking down a thoughtful note
Until the day people will know why we had it wrote
Finally I conclude that what is more
Is what we let to become
Not what we fight for but that which we keep in home
Weapons are a tool for what we will keep safe
When a war is won we need not replace
For it is more to have that very waste
Just to keep intact what we have kept at our haste
In my studies on this subject I have come across two forms of alchemy. Spiritual alchemy which is the we are the material and shall perfect ourselves. And physical alchemy which influenced chemistry and sought for the stone. My personal belief is the stone could be real as some well known alchemists got rich suddenly and when they were buried the caskets were empty. But we will never know the whole truth
