| I was looking through my Mage: the Ascension core book the other day and I was wondering what exactly the different sphere symbols meant in real world "occult lore". Well, I went to an old used book store and found an old book on Alchemy and here's what it said:
Sphere of Correspondence: Amalgam(thing)
Sphere of Entropy: To Rot
Sphere of Forces: To Boil
Sphere of Life: To Compose
Sphere of Matter: Amalgamation(process of)
Sphere of Mind: To Dissolve
Sphere of Prime: Essence
Sphere of Spirit: Fumes
Sphere of Time: Powder
