Alchemy is the art and science of bringing something to its final perfection, or its completion, much as a work of art is completed or perfected. Rooted in the Alexandrian alchemical tradition and working form a new translation of the Emerald Tablet, this book is the author’s personal exploration of the union of mateial and non-material alchemical practice, that is of physical alchemy and inner alchemy, through direct experimentation. Engaging the Way of the Philosopher, several areas are investigated in light of the Emerald Tablet – Chrysopoeia, the Green Lion, the Quintessence and Aurum potabile.
