Welcome to IWETHEY!

New It was more than cover...
For many alchemists it was a source of funding as well. They would get people to fund their experiments on the hope of having it pay off. Often said funding was derived by using tricks to convince someone that they had already succeeded on a small scale, but they needed supplies to do it on a large scale.

Cheers,
Ben

New Concur.. pre-TheDonald entrepreneurs; er, {ugh?}
Edit PS: of course no one can estimate the motives, %scurrilous/serious of practitioners, though I'd suppose that there has been sufficient interest all along to guesstimate roughly today, with a bit of research.

'Cover' applies only to the ones I'd deem 'serious' obv. But the gullible are ever with us, so we Know there must have been some Duesys of scams; those might be quite more fun to read about than the serious ones, I wot. After all, should a one discover something of a metaphysical 'Truth' -?- s/he couldn't directly transmit/communicate that realization to someone else, anyway!
