Saturn's Tree


Among the wonders wrought from Saturn’s metal, the growth of its Tree stands as a profound symbol of purification and transmutation. As the Sweet Salt of Saturn forms into crystalline branches, it mirrors the alchemist’s own journey: a slow, steady ascent from base matter to refined essence. This experiment shows not only the physical process of crystallization but also the deeper work of transformation, where even the heaviest substance can be elevated through patient and deliberate art.
