We know that secret societies from ancient Egypt and onward, through a series of progressions between different tribes (Hebrew, Christian, Gnostic, ancient Greek, Indian, and Mesopotamian) were
able to go from simple metallurgy and bring us straight through to modern industrialized chemistry. The father of modern chemistry emerges around 800 AD was making organic compounds already. We also know that these alchemists spoke in allegory and symbolism and much of their systems of planetary metal influence align with other ancient knowledge systems (such as Yogic philosophy) so my question I propose to you, based on the information below on what types of chemistry they were openly displaying techniques for--is it possible that somewhere along the way this knowledge allowed a group of people to extract the spice from their environ and had based a secret society around this elixir? It seems like some of the religious iconography is very psychedelic in some of these cultures and many people report visions of said deities as well. Just a thought, but maybe someone with a better understanding of chemistry can tell me if they were running their own Nexus back in the day.
In contrast with the modern term alchemy, the word al-kimiya lacks abstract meaning. Rather than designating the complex of practical and theoretical knowledge we now refer to as alchemy, it was used to describe the substance through which base metals could be transmuted into noble ones. In Arabic alchemical books al-kimiya tended to be a synonym of al-iksir (elixir) and was frequently used with the more general meaning of a “medium for obtaining something.” Expressions like kimiya al-sa‘ada (the way of obtaining happiness), kimiya al-ghana (the way of obtaining richness), and kimiya alqulub (the way of touching hearts) testify to the broad meaning of this word. What we now call alchemy was called by other words: san‘at al-kimiya or san‘at al-iksir (the art or production of the elixir), ‘ilm al-sina‘a (the knowledge of the art or production), al-hikma (the wisdom), al-‘amal al-a‘zam (the great work), or simply al-sana‘a. Arabic alchemists called themselves kimawi, kimi, kimiya’i, san‘awi, or iksiri.
The contribution of Arabic alchemists to the history of alchemy is profound. They excelled in the field of practical laboratory experience and offered the first descriptions of some of the substances still used in modern chemistry. Muriatic (hydrochloric) acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid are discoveries of Arabic alchemists, as are soda (al-natrun) and potassium (al-qali). The words used in Arabic alchemical books have left a deep mark on the language of chemistry: besides the word alchemy itself, we see Arabic influence in alcohol (al-kohl), elixir (al-iksir), and alembic (al-inbiq). Moreover, Arabic alchemists perfected the process of distillation, equipping their distilling apparatuses with thermometers in order to better regulate the heating during alchemical operations. Finally, the discovery of the solvent later known as aqua regia—a mixture of nitric and muriatic acids—is reported to be one of their most important contributions to later alchemy and chemistry.

I will add that in my further research I found evidence of an ancient mother originator of the arts named Teputti. So humans have had many thousands of years to extract this knowledge and it seems like the plants have been around in great numbers all over the planet. So it begs to be asked. Is the philosophers stone mimosoid or acacia salts? The alchemists do speak of salt being the essence of life. Something to ponder
The first known chemist was a woman. A Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet from the second millennium B.C. describes Tapputi, a perfumer and palace overseer who distilled the essences of flowers and other aromatic materials, filtered them, added water and returned them to the still several times until she got just what she wanted. This is also the first known reference to the process of distillation and the first recorded still. Tapputi also worked with tinctures, scent extraction, and cold enfleurage. She wrote the first treatise on making perfume, but this chemistry text is now lost.

Tapputi-Belatekallim, a female chemist and perfume maker, is mentioned on a Mesopotamian tablet from around 1200 B.C.E.

The Grand Elixir was of almost mythological stature, preserved and highly-guarded at theuppermost levels of Illuminist societies in Europe. Precisely how the Grand Elixir was transmitted toEurope remains largely unanswered, but what is certain is that its origins are rooted in greatantiquity. Hypotheses range from the notion that it existed as a hidden tradition surviving from themany Mystery Temples throughout the eastern Mediterranean region; that it arrived with the Templarsreturning from the Holy-Land; that it was central to mystic Islamic currents practiced during theUmayyad Caliphate in the Middle-East and later in Al-Andalus; or that it perhaps came into possession ofthe powerful Medici family.According to historians and researchers, the Grand Elixir reached prominence in Europe during thedevelopment of Illuminism within the restricted space of high-degree Freemasonry in France, Germanyand Russia. The pan-European phenomena of both the Melissino Rite and several others practicedduring the aristocratic Masonic milieu of the mid to late 18th century preserved both the identity of thesource material and its alchemical preparation. Several high-level Masonic rites were integral to theexpression of modern European esotericism during the golden age of Illuminism that flourished from theRenaissance until the scientific revolution.The Grand Elixir has historically been confused with, or misidentified as, the archetypal Philosophers'Stone by the uninitiated. The primary difference between the two is the fact that the Philosophers'Stone was a gold-based elixir commonly known as Aurum Potabile, whereas the Grand Elixir was theconsummate vegetable or plant-based spagyric Philosophers' Stone, derived from an incrediblysacred First Matter. The Grand Elixir and the First Matter share an undeniable occult relationship inseveral traditions. Researcher and Freemason, Phillip D. Newman has done much to furtherunderstanding of this incredibly important area of investigation. He writes:"As outlandish as it may sound, allusions to the entheogenic properties of the [FirstMatter] are commonplace in Masonic literature and various rituals. For, it would appear that thepsychoactive nature ... was fairly widely known in certain Masonic circles at least up until the late 1700s.However, sometime between the mid to late 18th century and the 19th century occult revival, the secrets of[the First Matter], like the true word of a Master Mason, appear to have been lost."Scottish Rite Freemason, Grand Historian and archivist Arturo de Hoyos translated source documentsaddressing the First Matter and its preparation for the Grand College of Rite's annual Collectanea:"The Master Degree speaks to us of the [sacred plant] found upon Hiram's grave. This is the true matter,from which the philosophers create their treasures. It is the true light of the world, from which gloriousHiram shall rise again under the guise of the Redeemer. It is the burning coal [carbuncle] of which Isaiah(in chap. 6:6-7) and Ezekiel (in chap. 10:2) speak, and which must be prepared in accordance with thesecret system of the wise men of old and the philosophers."While the value and importance of the First Matter is well documented in high-level Masonic traditionsand the like, its origins date to great antiquity in North Africa. Artifacts of tree-worship, replete withgods being born from it, a serpent associated with it, its significance as the Tree of Life or Tree ofImmortality occur in existing west African traditions in Mali, Gambia, Mauritania and Senegal.In Egyptian mythology, the First Matter is known as the Tree of Life associated with two primevalandrogynous deities, Neith and Iusaas. Isis and Osiris were depicted as having been born of it, inwhich Osiris is believed to occupy the spirit of the sacred tree. Priests of the Cult of Osiris associateOsiris and his tree with the underworld, rebirth, spirit and eternal life. It occurs in several contexts in thePyramid Texts, Papyrus of Ani (a.k.a. The Egyptian Book of the Dead) and features in other Egyptianmyths such as the Two Brothers. Products of this tree surface in a large percentage of archeological excavations even today.
