As a child at the bus stop before any of the other kids showed up I would drink the morning dew off of large leaves. I knew it was weird but still I enjoyed it. Funny so many years later I'm finding out how serious others take something that I just sipped up for fun.

An almost 40 minute video on a wordless book, this is why we need you Dr Sledge!

Happy birthday, Dr. Sledge! I hope that your day is full of blessings and joy! It’s well known you love books on treasure magic, but when you bring us your incredible work here on esoterica, your magical scholarly videos makes you the true treasure found therein! Again, happy birthday, and Shabbat shalom!

Happy Birthday Dr. Sledge. Your content has been most enlightening and frankly helped me recover from a bad spiritual stint by sobering my mind and bringing myself out of the trenches of dogma. Thank you!

one thing that has always struck me as odd with alchemy and its parallel with mineral extraction is that often mercury and sulpher or acid are biproducts of industrial processes and the ancients must have polluted a lot of water and soil with their metalurgy. I believe there are contaminated sites from all around the ancient world that still to this day bear the environmental effects of mining and smelting.

Yo chemist here. Read it as a manual on how to make some kind of crystal and it makes sense. It would work though what kind of crystal is formed depends on what the rain contains. why dew is collected is not clear to me. Might be to get destilled water at higher pH than rain. Anyway,, difference between alchemy and chemistry are vague at best and in practice they are often the same. All these methods described by the drawings are used today and are ofcourse very old. That said, their laboratory equipment in the paintings are not up to standard! ;)

Well Happy Birthday, Happy Alchemy Day, and Happy Valentine's Day, here's hoping you get the gold!

Happy birthday Dr. Sledge! Your videos are a blessing to all who study esoteric arts!

Herpy Burthy!

I wonder if William Blake knew this book? Some of the minor symbolism in his engravings is reminiscent. "Sufficiently equivocal terms are indistinguishable from nonsense" is an interesting reworking of Clarke's Third Law.

Thank you so much for this video which feels so complimentary to my journey, while being completely over my head! Voila.

The educational content is top-tier, but your humor is impeccable 😘👌 absolutely love the little jokes in the sidebar captions. Supremely underrated. Thanks for such a thorough breakdown.

Very nice! I'm always a sucker for the old alchemical artwork and their interpretations. Endlessly fascinating. Thank you for sharing!

Happy birthday and thanks for all the great videos

An alchemy graphic novel!

Happy Birthday! Thanks for another great video!

Happy birthday! I've recently been going through a huge journey of self-discovery, and after searching for more content on alchemy, I found you! Your channel and your presentation of information is borderline addicting.

The fact that my favorite YouTube educator and I share a birthday is thoroughly delightful! Happy (early) Birthday Dr. Sledge!

This was absolutely thrice great: clear, concise, and lucid. Happiest of birthday to you brother!
