Human Transmutation Circle
by ~DarkxDelusions
The CIRCLE!! its basic layout is composed of a circle inscribed with a hexagon (
which represents balance, perfection and unity) which inturn is inscribed with t
he triangle representing FIRE. There are nine other alchemic symbols. I would ha
ve put the actuall symbol on the picture... but it would have been rather diffic
ult to explain exactly which element goes with whitch symbol!
SO...
The # on the Circle above corresponds with the # below:
1 bismuth
2 mercury
3 white arsenic
4 magnesium
5 gold
6 (not sure will find)
7 sal armonic
8 copper
9 platinum
[I'll be putting up a short descripiton of each element (alchemy-wise) soon]
Now on to the writing and its explanations
BLUE WRITING- this is the outer circle. the inner and middle circles are exactly
the same, only they break off - it'll be marked where in the passage:
Pale white and black with false citrine imperfect white and red. The peacock s
feather in bright colours, the rainbow in (End Inner Circle) the sky above. Th
e spotted panther, the green ) lion the crow s beak blue as lead. These shall ap
pear (Middle Circle End) before you in perfect white. (Outer Circle End)
EXPLANATION: the alchemists often used animals as symbols of certain steps and p
rocesses. To obtain the philosophers stone there were a set of stages that would
occur in a certain order these were:
Blackening - Black Crow, Raven, Toad
Whitening - White Swan, White Eagle.
Greening - Green Lion.
Rapid cycling through iridescent colours - Peacock's Tail.
White Stone - Unicorn.
Reddening - Pelican feeding young with its own blood, cockerel. <forms a "Red S
tone"
and then a few final processes
for more indepth babble about it if you like 3-page long readings: http://www.l

now go read the outer circle again! does it actually make sense now? heh heh, ju
st wait theres more!
NEXT
GREEN writing:
Pale white and black with false citrine (end)
EXPLANATION- its a repeat of the outer circle but it cuts off
PURPLE writing:
After the perfect white follows the grey (end)
Explanation- tack it onto the whole version of the outer circle! but the questio
n.. is there more that was cut off? well apparently in ep. 8 when ed gets his f
ull name theres babble on that page which part of it reads: "These shall appear
before you in perfect white, with many others. After the perfect white follows t
he grey and false citrine also. And after these shall appear the [covered/illegi
ble] substance invariable, Then you shall "
ORANGE WRITING:
And after these shall appear the substance (end)
Explanation: its just another part of the paragraph above! ^.^
So the entire paragraph would read:
"Pale white and black with false citrine imperfect white and red. The peacock 's
feather in bright colours, the rainbow in the sky above. The spotted panther,
the green lion the crow s beak blue as lead. These shall appear before you in
perfect white, with many others. After the perfect white follows the grey and f
alse citrine also. And after these shall appear the substance invariable, Then y
ou shall...."
TURNS OUT... this paragraph is taken from Ripley's Recapitulation of the Twelve
Gates, the eighth paragraph.. the text has been altered somewhat for sound n suc
h.. but its still the same. I have a link to it in the authors comment thing if
you want to see the original
And now lia shall be dragged off to the mental ward muttering about green lions
and peacocks tails! I hope these hourse of work helped or at least made someothe
r Fangeek happy ^.^ if you have ANY QUESTIONS or anything i'd be happy to babble
on for hours and hours and hours and hours to you about FMA!! ^___________^
