Showing results for "The Alchemist" in Occult

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. This edition includes a new foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy.

Herbs have been used for medicine, magic, and ritual for centuries. The ancient arts of herbal alchemy and herbal magick combine the healing and energizing effects of herbs (roots, leaves, flowers, resins, and essential oils) with the cycles of the natural world - the astrological movement of the stars and planets, and the cycles of the earth's seasons. In this easy-to-use compendium of herbs and their energy associations, master herbalist and magick practitioner Karen Harrison offers formulas anyone can use to obtain courage, creativity, lasting health, prosperity, and more.

The papers in this book explore the soul of Masonic Alchemy and why our symbols, rituals, and teachings are tools of actual initiation and not a club's curious joining ceremony. The friendly, but empty Masonic lodge meetings are just not enough.

John Dee was one of the greatest scientific minds of his time, but also one of the most controversial. He was a learned man in fields as varied as mathematics and astronomy, centuries before they became formalized fields of study, but he is better remembered for performing magic and alchemy. Instead of astronomy, he became renowned across England for astrology, and he was one of the country’s most notorious occult writers during his life.

In the 1700s, Saint Germain dazzled royal courts with his amazing alchemical feats, such as removing the flaws from diamonds and became known as the Wonderman of Europe. His skills were praised by Louis XV, who provided him with a laboratory and residence at the royal castle of Chambord. He formed secret societies and was a leading figure in the Rosicrucians, Freemasons, and Knights Templar of the period.

The real identity of Fulcanelli is investigated fully and revealed, as are the international roots of the Rosicrucian revivalists of this era.

A mysterious work by the physician and mystic Paracelsus. This is a recipe for creating something which is never clearly identified, and might be the philosopher’s stone or its equivalent. Much of the cryptic language seems to be veiled references to scientific principles. The substances involved are metals and minerals, and the text contains many astrological references.

In The Dark Side of the Enlightenment, John V. Fleming shows how the impulses of the European Enlightenment - generally associated with great strides in the liberation of human thought from superstition and traditional religion - were challenged by tenacious religious ideas or channeled into the "darker" pursuits of the esoteric and the occult.

This is a collection of five alchemical tracts written by one of the most famous alchemists who was said to have discovered the Philosopher's Stone. In these writings, Paracelsus attempts to educate the listener about the nature of the Philosopher's Stone and the scientific principles from which we can be assured of its existence and understand how it works. Like all alchemical tracts, the language is very cryptic and allegorical, so as to be unintelligible to the unworthy.
