Alchemy emerged in Hellenistic Egypt and was further developed during the Islamic Golden Age, where it was practiced alongside medicine and chemistry. In the Middle Ages, it spread to Europe and became associated with mysticism and spirituality, particularly within Christian and Jewish traditions. It was during this period that the idea of the transmutation of metals began to be seen as a metaphor for spiritual transformation.
