:) Stygg you are trickily motivating :) You will see eventually on the weekend I will come up with such an alchemists symbol that Xara will give the fractal noise on it :)

Good work on the Alchemists symbol Stygg! I look forward to seeing what Csehz comes up with :)

@Stygg—
If you'd like some inspiration (from me??!?) or just a neat background, here's my contribution to better alchemy through science:

It's a whole bunch of alchemy symbols for metals, plus a few Celtic runes characters.
Embedded in a XAR document, free for all to use, Bouton's Express Permission (BEP).

Thanks a lot Gary, those symbols are really good and hopefully I will come up with some ideas.

Thank you Francis, glad you liked. I also look forward to what csehz comes up with? I knew I'd push him into doing the symbol ;)) and besides he comes up with some neat ideas.

The Book of Signs, originally published in 1934 written by Rudolph Koch (who was also a typographer and did a few nice fonts) is largely a book you can download for free if you subscribe to some reading site (who charge $).
But Google books will show you several pages from the eBook, along with explanations of symbols.
Example?

Just remember that with Frances' tutorial—and just a lot of tutorial we have here—you're not limited to a target shape the author provided! I have the hardest time convincing people who have bought a book I wrote (so why am I complaining?!) that you don't have to start or stop at the file I provided. Use you own along with the principle I shared with you.
Improvise.
Innovate.
Recreate.
