Practical alchemy : a guide to the great work
(Book)

"Previously published in 2006 as The Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy by Red Wheel Books"--verso.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 119-123).

A detailed, step-by-step introduction to alchemy that explores its mysteries while illustrating its use as a modern spiritual system of attainment, including an overview of the history of alchemy, from the first meldings of Egyptian technology, through the Middle Ages--the golden age of alchemy--right up to contemporary techniques. It demystifies the relationship between alchemy and chemistry, and provides evidence to detractors that alchemy is much more than a medieval form of psychotherapy.
