How did you find Him?

Ok well 1) he found me when I was deep in major depression and nearly three away my entire life 2) I went all the way back to the book of Enoch.

I've never read much of the apacrypha though I'd like to.

Christ spoke to you through the book of Enoch?

I would say I was led to the book of Enoch and out of the New Age. You can get Enoch online pdf for free. It actually prophesied of Jesus Christ. So I would say that yes he spoke to me through Enoch.

Well praise the Lord, I think I'll read it lol. I seen a video where this guy saw Enoch's last steps in a vision.

Alchemy isn't witchcraft its science. I just want to know how true it all is.

actually it is magic.  the philosophers stone isn't really a stone at all, but a wax, liquid or powder that can turn base metals such as led into higher metals like Gold, Silver or such using magical properties of the so called stone.

Wikipedia treats modern alchemy as occult/new age, which are all off limits to Christians.  

Today new interpretations of alchemy are still perpetuated, sometimes merging in concepts from New Age or radical environmentalism movements.^[105] Groups like the Rosicrucians and Freemasons have a continued interest in alchemy and its symbolism. Since the Victorian revival of alchemy, "occultists reinterpreted alchemy as a spiritual practice, involving the self-transformation of the practitioner and only incidentally or not at all the transformation of laboratory substances.",^[74]which has contributed to a merger of magic and alchemy in popular thought.

Traditional medicine[edit]

Main articles: Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional medicine can use the concept of the transmutation of natural substances, using pharmacological or a combination of pharmacological and spiritual techniques. In Ayurveda, the samskaras are claimed to transform heavy metalsand toxic herbs in a way that removes their toxicity. These processes are actively used to the present day.^[106]

Spagyrists of the 20th century, Albert Richard Riedel and Jean Dubuis, merged Paracelsian alchemy with occultism, teaching laboratory pharmaceutical methods. The schools they founded, Les Philosophes de la Nature and The Paracelsus Research Society, popularized modern spagyrics including the manufacture of herbal tinctures and products.^[107] The courses, books, organizations, and conferences generated by their students continue to influence popular applications of alchemy as a New Age medicinal practice.
