The INTERNET Database of Periodic Tables

There are thousands of periodic tables in web space, but this is the only comprehensive database of periodic tables & periodic system formulations. If you know of an interesting periodic table that is missing, please contact the database curator: Mark R. Leach Ph.D. The database holds information on periodic tables, the discovery of the elements, the elucidation of atomic weights and the discovery of atomic structure (and much, much more).

Use the drop menus or search box (below) to Select or Search the 1400 entries in the database:

Periodic Tables from the year 1520 :

1520

Tria Prima of Alchemy

Year: 1520

PT id = 906, Type = formulation

Tria Prima of Alchemy

Paracelsus identified three primes, the tria prima, of alchemy which are related to the Law of the Triangle, in which two components come together to produce the third. Philosophically speaking, Mercury is the Mind; Salt is the Will & Wisdom; and Sulphur is Love.

The three are components or principles of the Philosopher's Stone, and they work potently to transmute any base metal or character into golden perfection. Without these principles, the coveted Stone is ineffectual in its capacity to change vibratory rates.

Sulfur: The fluid connecting the High and the Low. Sulfur was used to denote the expansive force, evaporation, and dissolution.
Mercury: The omnipresent spirit of life. Mercury was believed to transcend the liquid and solid states. The belief carried over into other areas, as mercury was thought to transcend life/death and heaven/earth.
Salt: Base matter. Salt represented the contractive force, condensation, and crystallization.
