Real Alchemy : A Primer of Practical Alchemy By Robert Allen Bartlett

Robert Allen Bartlett introduces the history and ideas of alchemy alongside its laboratory traditions. Real Alchemy begins with plant preparations and moves toward the basics of mineral work, connecting practical procedures with the symbolism and aims of the alchemical path.

Written as an introductory manual, it also considers interpretations of the Philosopher’s Stone. This is a study of alchemical methods and philosophy, not a promise of medical benefit or an instruction to ingest experimental preparations. ISBN: 9780892541508.
