Mysteries of the Unexplained

New Site Design

Mysteries of the Unexplained now offers a secondary, low bandwidth version of the site. Please check it out and let us know what you think in the forums.

Personal Server

Mysteries of the Unexplained is proud to announce that is now is running off of its own server. While this will offer faster load times, it will also mean that the site will be down more often than it used to be simply because we must now figure out and run the server ourselves.

"Alchemy is the art of far and near, and I think poetry is alchemy in that way. It's delightful to distort size, to see something that's tiny as though it were vast." --Robert Morgan

The precursor to modern day chemistry, alchemy was a major field during the middle ages of Europe and dates back much farther in other part of the world, including the Middle East and Asia. While it may have gone by different names in these places, it is the same 'science' and held many of the same values and principles. Alchemy dealt strongly with the natural world and held the power of the elements of water, wind, earth, and fire in high standing.
