"Reflecting the Alchemist's Soul: Unveiling the Mysteries in 'The Mirror of Alchimy' by Roger Bacon"
In "The Mirror of Alchimy" Roger Bacon takes readers on a mesmerizing journey into the enigmatic world of alchemy, unraveling the veiled mysteries that have captivated seekers of esoteric knowledge for centuries. This seminal work, written in the late 16th century, serves as a timeless portal into the alchemical tradition, offering profound insights into the transformative processes of both the philosopher's stone and the adept's soul.
Bacon's narrative is a tapestry woven with allegorical threads, blending practical laboratory instructions with symbolic language that transcends the material realm. As the alchemist-author, Bacon speaks to readers across time, inviting them to contemplate the union of opposites, the refinement of base elements, and the pursuit of the elusive Elixir of Life.
The Mirror of Alchimy serves as a guide for those daring enough to tread the intricate labyrinth of spiritual transmutation. Bacon's prose, though rooted in the medieval context, resonates with universal themes— the quest for enlightenment, the cyclic nature of creation and destruction, and the pursuit of the divine within the earthly vessel.
At its core, this alchemical mirror reflects not only the external processes of laboratory experimentation but also the internal journey of self-discovery. Bacon intricately intertwines the art of transmutation with the science of the soul, urging the seeker to alchemize their own consciousness in tandem with their laboratory pursuits.
The brilliance of Bacon's work lies not only in its practicality but also in its poetic invocation of the alchemical quest. Each chapter unfolds like a mystical incantation, beckoning the reader to delve deeper into the alchemical opus. From the stages of calcination to coagulation, Bacon demystifies the alchemical process, making it accessible to both seasoned practitioners and those new to the alchemical tradition.
"The Mirror of Alchimy" is an illuminating testament to the enduring allure of alchemy—a profound exploration of the interconnectedness between the earthly and the celestial. As readers gaze into this alchemical mirror, they are not only confronted with the reflection of laboratory apparatus but also with the hidden recesses of their own spiritual landscape.
In a world where the pursuit of wisdom is often obscured by the mundane, Bacon's mirror serves as a timeless reminder that, like the alchemists of old, we are all engaged in the grand work of refining ourselves, transmuting the leaden aspects of our existence into the gold of inner enlightenment.

Wanted to figure out how chimera’s wrote and ended up starting on their written language proper. MASSIVE info dump below! 
Writing
They write using four fingers of one hand, usually the right, coated in ink. Think like a stamp almost. The three middle fingers draw with the tips of the teeth whilst the thumb will alternate between tip and back. All words are written simultaneously inward. The remaining fingers grip the source of ink, usually a length of hardened pigment only wetted on one side OR those who write often could invest in a pen. A pen for a chimera is a fanning brush saturated with ink that the writing teeth brush through when needing to reink. It allows for much faster wetting of the teeth, but can be messy when learning or refilling. 
Most chimera are right handed but left handed individuals exist, they will simply need to learn to use the two fingers opposite the middle in reverse of how someone who is right handed would! Luckily all fingers can move pretty independently of each other and it is an easy task.  As chimera mostly communicate through direct broadcast most find the written word lacking, so it is a common occupation among Chimera to write for others. It is an impressive skill to eloquently convey ideas/feelings through writing. Though their language set up lends to it MUCH more than others. 
The Nitty Gritty
All subject to change as this is very first drafty. 
Chimeric is a logographic language, there is no set alphabet and all ‘words’ stem from symbols representing things and ideas. Sentences are kind of two sentences atop one another, with one being the literal and the other the reactionary. It is read from out to in and sentences are written in a circle divided into 4 quarters. We’ll start with the top moving counter clockwise. 
Quarter 1 (Red) is the subject area, now subjects function the same as nouns for the most part, people, places, and things. But something important to note is that there must always be an ‘audience’ for the words being spoken. An audience basically means pronouns though they are a lot more encompassing with: I, You, Us, Them, Them excluding me/you, Us excluding you, Everyone, and a bunch of others. These are all acceptable audience subjects to top off your sentence. For instance you wouldn’t say “This pizza tastes good!” you would instead say “I enjoy the taste of this pizza” or “Everyone enjoys the taste of this pizza” the opinion/emotion needs to be applied to a source to make sense grammatically. 
Quarter 2 (Green) is all about emotions and opinions. Chimeric language is an exchange of ideas but also importantly emotions and feelings. Q2 is dedicated to how the sentence is supposed to be interpreted or felt by the reader, as obviously in ‘spoken’ chimeric speaker and listener technically feel the same about what is currently being said. Listener opinion is very distinct from speaker and in writing the speaker takes priority. So for example the statement “Who finished the box but left it in the pantry?” would instead have to be translated into something akin to “I am pissed and questioning who had the audacity to finish the box and did not care enough to remove it from the pantry thus leaving me to find it and become disappointed?” Basically chimeric lends itself to very long translations due to their feelings.  
Quarter 3 (Blue) is the action section of the sentence. The verbs if you will. This is where things are happening and is VERY tied in with Q1. Subjects in Q1 and Q2 will be linked together with lines that follow the same slice through the circle.
Tumblr media
When a subject is linked to an action that means that the subject is the one performing the action, whereas subjects closer to the center and unaligned with an action are what is being acted upon. Like with the audience conundrum though an action needs a subject to actually act, whether it is an individual/s or an object or place. This is usually the least word heavy portion of the sentence as it is almost supplemental to Q1, and in contrast to the thin, crisp lines of the other quarters, Q3 will often be smudgey and more messy due to being written mostly with the back of the thumb. 
Quarter 4 (Yellow) is generally not going to have any words written there, as it functions as the anchor point for the hand. The outmost finger rests here on the page to stabilize the hand as it closes during writing. When writing in a ream of papers this is where the hole to hold them all together is punched through. However in modern fanciful writing styles Q4 is also used as a secondary emotional quarter. This style will use Q4 as the reactionary emotion of the reader, more so the expected reaction and emotion from the reader. This is an EXTREMELY class based writing style and it is a GIANT NO NO to write like this for someone of higher status to read. Typically only Clan heads will freely use this writing style, especially towards each other lmao. The writing style of the passive aggressive power struggle. 
All together Quarters are read at once! And I mean that there is no one word the chimera will start with. Every word of the sentence is absorbed at the same time, no following along a line like how I’m currently typing. But what indicates the order of which things are meant to be perceived is how close they are to the outside of the circle. Things closer to the center come later in the sentence and will be understood to be lower in the hierarchy of words. However only subjects and actions are directly linked to each other, emotion/opinion words are to have a more natural seep throughout the entirety of the sentence with only a loose idea of where they are to be felt. In this way while a subjects actions may be concrete, the writers feelings about them are more fluid and organic. 
Chimeric conlang yay! I wanted to make modern Mirum script but decided I needed to start at the roots. So technically two written languages originate from Mirum, but they are extremely similar with one directly branching from the other. Chimeric is the original and Miran is the derivative, they mostly share characters but their sentence structure is different. Chimeric keeps the circular structure whereas Miran is a zigzagging horizontal and completely drops quarters 2 and 4. Leading to modern Miran being a very literal language vs Chimeric’s emotion heavy focus. But if you know one you can pretty much read the other, albeit with some culture shock.

Toki's hope in a dream. Its source yet unknown to him as a kid.
This idea came to me while I was listening to this awesomely creative and visually pleasing music video called "Fish in a Birdcage". Sure at first it left me feeling a bit...dreadful, but on the 15th listen it was already charming.
