Editing Azoth (section)

== Mystical traditions and philosophy ==
Azoth has also been linked to various mystical and spiritual practices beyond alchemy. In the context of [[Renaissance magic]], it was often associated with the idea of spiritual enlightenment and the purification of the soul. Some mystical traditions regarded Azoth as a metaphor for the internal transformation required to achieve a higher state of consciousness. It was thought to embody the process of turning base human traits into divine virtues, akin to the transformation of base metals into gold. This spiritual interpretation of Azoth influenced numerous [[esoteric]] and hermetic schools of thought, contributing to its lasting legacy in Western mystical traditions. Additionally, Azoth's connection to mercury and its fluid, transformative properties also made it a symbol of adaptability and change in broader philosophical contexts.{{citation needed|date=July 2024}}

In the [[Kabbalah]], Azoth is related to the [[Ain Soph|Ein Soph]] or 'the Endless One'.{{citation needed|date=July 2024}}
