Customer Reviews

Great view of Alchemy.

This book really helps one appreciate the wonderful view that those truly devoted to Alchemy had. Unlike the rather narrow view of most modern day branches of science, the Alchemist look to understand the whole. This little book helps one to appreciate that approach.

Good overview

This is a great starter book for those that wish to skim the surface of what Alchemy (Hermetic Philosophy) is about. This book isn't lessons or teachings but rather a history and overview, rather accurate and unbaised in my opinion. Very well researched and good photos. Good first step book.
