Alchemic symbols, originally devised as part of the protoscience of alchemy, were used to denote some elements and some compounds until the 18th century. Note that while notation like this was mostly standardized, style and symbol varied between alchemists, so this page lists the most common.

According to Paracelsus, the Three Primes or Tria Prima are:
* Sulfur (omnipresent spirit of life)
* Mercury (fluid connection between the High and the Low)
* Salt (base matter)
