["ihya1347" <ihya1347@...>]

 Thank you Rawn, your comentaries have once again given me a 
better understanding of the text. I also completly agree with your 
comment at the end of the article on the ET, I never realized the 
depth and potential this litle document has. The experience has 
wetted my appetite for the classics of the Hermetic tradition, and 
from what little i've read so far I think the persual of these works 
will be very rewarding. Anyone have any recomendations other than 
the Corpus Hermeticum and the Kybalion? I anticipate many long 
nights of coffee and reading till my eyes get blury :)

Also, iv developed an interest in inner alchemy, which seems to 
complement my work with IIH nicely, but I was wondering how 
necesesary the practical side of alchemy is? It seems to be imensley 
fun and something i'd like to atleast try. However, certain factors 
would make it very difficult to carry out. Im a minor, and I dont 
think my parents would buy me pure grain alcohol no matter how much 
I tried to explain that it was going to be used for a good cause. 
Also, my lab would resemble a whiskey still or the unibombers shack 
since ill need to make/beg/borrow the equipment, and set it up 
somewhere outside where odd smells and smoke wont atract unwanted 
atention. No one knows my interest in these sorts of things, and I 
have a hunch that explaining that the jug of alcohol is for spagyric 
tinctures and not drinking till I go blind wont be a good way to 
broach the topic.
