Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic

Some called it fraud. Others called it the foundation of modern chemistry. The alchemists called it the Work.

Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic traces the strange, obsessive, and surprisingly rigorous pursuit of transformation — from lead into gold, from mortal into immortal, from the mundane into the miraculous. This volume explores the history, philosophy, and practice of alchemy through the lens of both its mystical ambitions and its very real contributions to science, medicine, and the Western esoteric tradition.

Whether you are drawn to the Hermetic mysteries, the history of chemistry, or the symbolic language of the Great Work, this book belongs on your shelf — and in your practice.
