J.M., 06/22/96 Excellent Introduction
to practical Alchemy
With the rise of serious interest in alternative medicine and the western
occult, there is a need for a good, relatively clear introduction to practical
alchemy. This is it. This book explains the equipment you need and proposes
a theory of alchemy which reveals real respect for the ancient texts- though
as the title promises there is little here on the work with metals. If you
want a detailed or scholarly history of Alchemy you will have to look elsewhere,
but this book is essential for anyone interested in the work itself *or*
in herbal medicine.
