The decline of alchemy began during the 18th century with the birth of modern chemistry, which provided a more precise and reliable framework for the making of medicine and the transmutation of matter, within a new grand design of the universe based on rational materialism. Alchemy is still practiced by many today mostly in the form of philosophy, spiritualism, or mysticism under the category of hermeticism.
