The latin motto of the alchemical tradition, solve et coagula, means to dissolve and regenerate, and refers to the process of transforming base metals into gold. It is also the psychological process of transforming a tragic into a heroic life, through facing trial and finding treasure. Dr. Miles Neale explains in this clip from Return with Elixir.
