The Alchemist's Handbook

THE ALCHEMIST'S HANDBOOK has long been an essential contribution to the study of alchemy since its first publication in 1960. It still stands as a groundbreaking work presenting in clear, concise language a practical manual of working knowledge that was formerly handed down under oath of secrecy. The scope of alchemical work is to provide both a means to synthesize all the other sciences and the necessary training of the intellectual and spiritual faculties. THE ALCHEMIST'S HANDBOOK discusses in detail: · The basic fundamental principles of alchemy. · A guide to the formation of an inexpensive home laboratory with illustrations of the necessary equipment. · Step-by-step instructions for the work of the Lesser Circulation, the alchemical transformation within the plant kingdom. This new Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy.
