Snow by Night

Ah, it’s Brittany here. Eric’s out of town so I get to commandeer the journal entry for today. Today is about Alchemical Compounds. O.o

Fun fact: Alchemy used many symbols that people can recognize today. Symbols of the planets (all you Sailor Moon fans out there know them. Don’t lie! You know you do!) and the zodiac were all incorporated in alchemy. If you go back to where you first meet Bertrande you can spot the signs for Leo, Sagittarius, and an alternate sign for the metal Copper among others. Each of the elements had a Glyph created for them using traditional alchemy signs and symbols, the occasional rune, and of course some good, old-fashioned Geometry. Gotta love the circles. C:

If you’ve been by the table at cons you’ve seen that we’re now selling prints and buttons of the elemental glyphs. They’ll also be available in the store once it’s up. You can also get a preview of them here on my DeviantArt page.

That wasn’t a shameless plug… really… it wasn’t… I mean, you don’t have to look it’s just… oh, nevermind.
