Book Description
In ancient times it is believed that a legendary Emerald Tablet existed, one that was said to contain an encoded message written by Hermes 'the father of philosophers' himself. It contained the words of direction known as 'the operation of the Sun', that if one followed with accuracy the method described, that individual would obtain the glory of the whole world, the power of power, wisdom that could not be limited by any obscurity, and the ability to overcome any subtle or great matter. There is a catch however, to obtain it, one must first understand it. It was a riddle and the key to solving this particular riddle has been plaguing philosophers and scientists for millennia. It is the secret to a long standing question. How can one obtain the philosophers' stone? and even more, what is it? Within these pages are a collection of works that answer these very questions. The blueprint of the philosopher stone is obtainable first by the study of philosophy and also through the study of nature. A student of alchemy; philosophy & chemistry, can learn to seek the truth of natural science and discover the secret which only few men have been able to achieve. It starts first with understanding, then continued experimentation. This volume contains several books that will, together, help the student in the pursuit of understanding the blueprint. The ancient books contained in this volume have been heavily edited and translated into modern English interpretation with annotations and definitions as well. The books are as follows: *The Mirror of Alchemy *The Emerald Table of Hermes *The Commentary of Hortulanus *The Book of the Secrets of Alchemy *Treatise on The Admirable Force and Efficacy of Art and Nature In these books one will better understand the following topics: The definitions of Alchemy Natural Principles & Procreation of Minerals The parts of the Stone The four Elements contained within the Stone Modification and Cleansing the Stone The work of Alchemy imitates the Creation of the world Why the Stone is said to be Perfect Difficulty in the Art The four Masteries of the Art: Solution, Congelation, Albification and Rubification How to fix the Spirit Separating the Elements There is only one Stone, his nature. How to make the Stone white Conversion of the Stone to red On the cryptography and symbolism of ancient texts The Philosophy of Alchemy

Pages : 215
Book Description
How cultural categories shaped--and were shaped by--new ideas about controlling nature Ranging from alchemy to necromancy, "books of secrets" offered medieval readers an affordable and accessible collection of knowledge about the natural world. Allison Kavey's study traces the cultural relevance of these books and also charts their influence on the people who read them. Citing the importance of printers in choosing the books' contents, she points out how these books legitimized manipulating nature, thereby expanding cultural categories, such as masculinity, femininity, gentleman, lady, and midwife, to include the willful command of the natural world.

Jung on Alchemy
Author: C. G. Jung
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691264929
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Illuminating selections from Jung’s writings on alchemy and the transformation of the human spirit The ancient practice of alchemy, which thrived in Europe until the seventeenth century, dealt with the phenomenon of transformation—not only of ore into gold but also of the self into Other. Through their work in the material realm, alchemists discovered personal rebirth as well as a linking between outer and inner dimensions. C. G. Jung first turned to alchemy for personal illumination in coping with trauma brought on by his break with Freud. Alchemical symbolism eventually suggested to Jung that there was a process in the unconscious, one that had a goal beyond discharging tension and hiding pain. In this book, Nathan Schwartz-Salant brings together key selections of Jung’s writings on the subject. These writings expose us to Jung’s fascinating reflections on the symbols of alchemy—such as the three-headed Mercurial dragon, hermaphrodites, and lions devouring the sun—and brings us closer to the spirit of his approach to the unconscious, closer than his purely scientific concepts often allow.

Alchemy and Artifacts (Tesseracts Twenty-Two)
Author: Lorina Stephens
Publisher: EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing, Incorporated
ISBN: 9781770531949
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
There is nothing new in the world except the history we do not know. Alchemy and Artifacts (Tesseracts Twenty-Two) is a collection of twenty-three amazing stories based on historical artifacts combined with fantastic historical fiction. The stories meld culture, concept and incident into a rich collection of 'what if' speculations that provide warnings yet revel in the cultural celebrations we continue to observe today. They are the touchstones that resonate with all who listen to and learn from the past. For, once the instigators are dead, the wars ended, and the political machines decayed, only artifacts remain. And it's through these cultural artifacts that we glimpse the possibility of what may have occurred in the past and may yet occur in the future. You are invited to delve into the motivations behind the events of the past, the quests for power, the fights against repression, and the sacrifices to a greater cause -- human dramas that reflect the worst and best of who we are -- to see what satisfaction comes from sudden insight and awe. Featuring works by these Canadian writers: Colleen Anderson, Lara Apps, Leslie Brown, Katherine Cameron, Chris Patrick Carolan, Geoff Gander & Fiona Plunkett, Bev Geddes, Mary-Jean Harris, Geoffrey Hart, Kate Heartfield, R. W. Hodgson, Kurt Kirchmeier, Jason Lane, Halli Lilburn, Cat McDonald, Tony Pi, Mike Rimar, Bianca Sayan, Holly Schofield, Michael Skeet, Erik Jon Spigel, Liz Westbrook-Trenholm, Michal Wojcik The stories in Alchemy and Artifacts (Tesseracts Twenty-Two) nourish those who wander in today's wilderness, and who, without the benefit of the past, are destined to plunge blindly along a path of ignorance, destroying all that has been, everything that is true and beautiful and that which nourishes our global community.
