From a Thelemic website:
Alchemy had three main objects: 1. The transmutation of the base metals into gold, or more generally the conversion of abundant relatively useless material into rare useful substances.
3. The creation of a human being from non-living chemical materials, such as an artificial man being called the android or homunculus [cf. the IX' secret document 'De Homunculus' in which Crowley relates sex magick secrets in the fabrication of the Magical Child, described previously in this series and conflated with the fabrication of the 'Elixir of Life' as the effluvia of ritualized sexuality in prescribed circumstances, often fabricating an astral or magical being to carry to fruition. the desire/will of the magician; mu]; or in more general terms, to create living things from non-living [cf. various genesis stories in which the gods effect this very thing, being immortal and able to transmute substances from one to another.
