Vitriol is an backronym that stands for:

V : Visita

I : Interiora

T : Terrae

R : Rectificando

I : Invenies

O : Occultum

L : Lapidem

Which means : “Visit the interior of the earth and rectifying (i.e. purifying) you will find the hidden/secret stone” found in L’Azoth des Philosophes by the 15th Century Alchemist Basilius Valentinus.

The purpose of this blog is to test this formula.
I am an artist and compose images from old engravings.
I will try then to apply the ideas linked to Vitriol in compositions.
Images, maps, riddles, texts will all be used in order to attain this goal.
