A ground-breaking modern manual on an ancient art, REAL ALCHEMY draws on both modern scientific technology and ancient methods. A laboratory scientist and chemist, Bartlett provides an overview of the history of alchemy, as well as an exploration of the theories behind the practice. Clean, clear, simple and easy to read, REAL ALCHEMY provides excellent directions regarding producing plant products and transitions the reader-student into the basics of mineral work – what some consider the true domain of Alchemy. Bartlett, also, explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term "e;Philosopher's Stone"e; and describes several very real and practical methods for its achievement. Is the fabled Philosopher's Stone an elixir of long life or is it a method of transforming lead into gold? You can be the judge of that for yourself after reading REAL ALCHEMY. New students to practical laboratory alchemy will enjoy reading REAL ALCHEMY and hopefully will find the encouragement needed to undertake their own alchemical journey.. New release of a highly desired, best-selling primer on alchemy by Ibis Press.. Thorough yet concise, covers theory and practice, including mineral, waterworks and metallic works.. Introduction to laboratory Alchemy, written by one of the world's leading experts on Alchemy.. Includes treatises on Astrology, Qabbalah, Herbalism, and minerals, as they relate to Alchemy

      come. He suffers as the essences are teased and tortured from the substance, and he is elated when the hidden spark of truth brings the dead matter back to life on a new level of being.

      Admittedly, this is a strange way of looking at laboratory work in a materialistic, industrialized world, and there are many prejudices the modern mind must overcome to accept the possibility that alchemy is real. Yet perhaps, after reading this book with a free heart and open mind, you might find an ancient voice speaking to you through the drone of appliances, engines, and commercial broadcasts that make up our environment. The voice will whisper: But have you tried it?

        No alchemist in history ever thought the Secret Art was solely a mental discipline. The work of transformation takes place in the real world. Yet alchemy is not chemistry. Chemistry is a superficial science that deals only with the external forms in which the elements manifest. A chemist seeks to rearrange atoms and molecules to exhibit different properties of the same dead material. An alchemist seeks to create an entirely new substance by exposing its essences, bringing them alive, and causing them to grow.

        When an alchemist performs a laboratory experiment, it is the culmination of careful planning to find the right timing and personal purification to create the sacred space in which the transformation can take place. The alchemist becomes an ingredient in his own experiment, and his intention and passion contribute to the out
