Book Description
Alchemy, the Noble Art, conjures up scenes of mysterious, dimly lit laboratories populated with bearded old men stirring cauldrons. Though the history of alchemy is intricately linked to the history of chemistry, alchemy has nonetheless often been dismissed as the realm of myth and magic, or fraud and pseudoscience. And while its themes and ideas persist in some expected and unexpected places, from the Philosopher's (or Sorcerer's) Stone of Harry Potter to the self-help mantra of transformation, there has not been a serious, accessible, and up-to-date look at the complete history and influence of alchemy until now.

A Subtle Allegory Concerning the Secrets of Alchemy
Author: Michael Maier
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781468025477
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
AFTER spending the best part of my life in the study of the liberal arts and sciences, and in the company of wise men and judicious scholars, I was compelled, as the result of my observation of mankind, to arrive at the melancholy conclusion that the hearts of most persons are set either on ambitious and vainglorious projects, on sensual pleasures, or on the accumulation of wealth by all and any means; and that few care either for God or for virtue At first I did not quite know whether to become a disciple of the laughing or of the weeping philosopher, or whether to join in the exclamation of the wise Prince of Israel: "All things are vanity." But at length the Bible and experience taught me to take refuge in the study of the hidden secrets of Nature, whether pursued at home, by means of books, or abroad, in the Great Volume of the World.

SECRETS OF THE ABC’s
Author: Michael (ALKEMI) Jordan
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1503556980
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This work began 12th month of 1987, 28 years ago.... Over the years, I wrote and lost the manuscript 7 times before completion, only to have my book bag stolen.... I finally manage to publish two small works, entitled ABC’s OF ALKEMI & 123 = WISDOM. In those works I used poetry, illustrations, Gematria and numerology to introduce the Alphabet as The Book of Egyptian God Thoth, namely, the TAROT. In this work, it became my task to elaborate on the ABC’s as the Alkemical operation of the human psyche, a.k.a. soul. In short, this work is about three things: 1. Love for Wisdom (Philosophy) 2. The TAROT as The Wheel of GOD (rotation of Great Operation Divine) 3. The ABC’s as the alpha-numerical system of Light ON Science (CONSCIENCE)
