Alchemy and the Lost Antideluvian Knowledge

[Paul Ferguson]

"According to the Book of Enoch and other Second Temple texts, the Flood was not only a judgment on human wickedness, but a divine intervention to purge the world of knowledge that had been misused. The Watchers, fallen heavenly beings, had descended and taught humanity things they were not meant to know—sorcery, astrology, the use of roots and herbs, weapon-making, seduction, and the crafting of spirits. While not all of these arts were evil in themselves, the motives behind their dissemination and the corrupt state of the world ensured that they led to ruin. When the Flood came, that knowledge was not accidentally lost. It was intentionally erased by God. But humanity, ever unwilling to accept divine boundaries, preserved whispers of it through myth, mystery, and hidden teachings. Alchemy, with its promise of transformation and divine power, did not arise out of purity or wisdom. It was the continuation of a rebellion that the waters of judgment were meant to drown."
