About this listen
It's completely understandable if you're in the dark about alchemy. It has been practiced around the world and linked to various religious rites, scientific experiments, and, of course, magic - a series of beliefs and disciplines that defy categorization and definition.

- The basic principles of alchemy - including the Three Essentials that are present in all things
- The alchemist's code - ciphers, signs, symbols, sacred geometry, and more
- A list of tonics, elixirs, and other alchemical medicines
- The three stages of alchemical transformation
- The meaning and power of the Four Elements - Fire, Water, Air and Earth - and the Fifth Element, the Quintessence
- A look at the relationship between alchemy and science
- An exploration of the significance of the Philosopher's Stone

Wonderful work that is worth the time and money.
Very well written, laid out, and full of content that is presented in a direct and coherent way (which is difficult given the topic) this is one of the better books on the topic I have imbibed. Very happy with this selection.
The narrator does a wonderful job; very easy to listen to and fantastic at getting the information across.

Great tour and explanation of a very complicated subject.
I was skeptical when I read the title. He doesn’t talk down to you but takes you on a fascinating journey through alchemy and it’s history. Well worth the investment if you are interested in the subject.
