Description
Alchemy is both the art of transmuting base metal into gold and a powerful metaphor for spiritual transformation and creativity. This simple guide contains all you need to know to become an alchemist – to decode the most complex alchemical texts, to unite your inner spiritual work with your outer work, and to take up laboratory alchemy if you so wish.
Whether you are a beginner intrigued about the possibility of spiritually enriching your life and creativity, or a practising alchemist looking for the key to difficult texts, On Alchemy invites you to embark on a profound journey of personal change. It is full of meditations, visualizations and other practices to guide you on your way, from using geometry to purify your inner eye, to questioning the gods in your dreams, to using a circulation and distillation apparatus.

Absolutely fascinating. Straightforward and very easy to understand, this presents alchemy in a way I was unfamiliar with and thus really intrigued by. This book really got me thinking!
Joshua T, Librarian
A brief and uncomplicated, yet beautifully sublime text by a master in the field. A must-have for those seeking plain-spoken insight into the basics of alchemy.
Ariel S, Reviewer
The enthralling pages of this book held me the entire way through. The illustrations added hearth and ease to an already intensely long subject. Our author described everything beautifully and with the simplicity of a seasoned philosopher. It held my interest but also my mind. It’s a fantastic way to get someone more involved and knowledgeable about a subject. I can’t wait to reread and find more written by him! If you’d like to actually learn something while just purely enjoying yourself, this is the one.
