I want to understand it but everything I read about it oscillates impossibly between vulgar metals -> gold and some kind of spiritual transformation metaphysical stuff

What is it and what can be legit gleaned from it in an empirical or useful sense?

Does it have utility outside of use as a metaphor or allegory or whatever?

    What is it

    Mostly fairytale magic.

    what can be legit gleaned from it in an empirical or useful sense?

    Don’t bother.
