The Divine Waters
The Divine waters are to be found in the body.
"It is thus said of the mercury which the wise men seek for, is in mercury. Mercury destroys all foliated Sol: it dissolves and softens it, and takes the soul out of the body. If it be sublimated, then there is made aqua vitae. If any one therefore ask you: What are the stones? You shall answer, that Sol and mercury are the physical stones. But these stones are dead on Earth and operate nothing, but what is by the industry of men supplied to them."
Or answer whatever the hell you like, but that seems to fit the bill.
From the text at The Alchemy Website. This is taken from the tract 'Marsilio Ficino on the alchemical art'. Of course, there's no certainty that Marsi himself wrote this, but the text does contain some pearls. One recommendation I can give any Alchemists out there that for some reason haven't found this already is the tract by Nicolas Flammel. Just to add a little from the tract : "But I erred greatly upwards of 23 years and a half, in labouring without being able to marry the Moon," Well of course you did, so that you could mention the number 23. Welcome to the club of the future dude.
If anyone knows of an Alchemy site that can touch Levity, then please tell me.
