One of the few practicing alchemists in
the modern era, Robert Allen Bartlett explains what the ancients
really meant when they used the term "Philosopher's Stone" 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 will be
able to judge for yourself after reading this new book on laboratory
alchemy. Dozens of ancient formulae and experiments. Bartlett has
been a practicing alchemist for over thirty years and was a student
of the twentieth century’s most highly recognized alchemist, Frater
Albertus, at Paracelsus College beginning in 1974. After receiving
his degree in Chemistry in 1979, Bartlett was appointed Chief
Chemist at Frater Albertus' Paralab. Forward by Dennis William

Way of the Crucible
Alchemy is the ancient sacred science concerned with
the mysteries of life and consciousness as reflected
through all Nature. It is a harmonious blending of
physical and subtle forces which lifts the subject,
whether it be man or metal, to a more evolved state of
being. The Way of the Crucible is a ground-breaking
modern manual on the art of Alchemy that draws on both
modern scientific technology and ancient methods. A
laboratory scientist and chemist, Bartlett provides an
overview of how practical alchemy works along with
treatises on Astrology, Qabalah, Herbalism, and
minerals, as they relate to Alchemy. He also explains
what the ancients really meant when they used the term
"Philosopher's Stone" and describes practical methods
toward its achievement. The Way of the Crucible
provides directions for a more advanced understanding
of the mineral work -- what some consider the true
domain of Alchemy. By Robert Bartlett. 322 pages.

This book succinctly
encapsulates the wisdom of the Hermetic Adepts, exploring the
interface between alchemy, science, spagyrics, and archemy. In his
first publication on the Great Work, Australian doctor, scientist,
antiquarian, and operative alchemist, Ross Mack, translates and
equates that contained within classical alchemical literature with the
latest findings of the physical, chemical and cosmological branches of
science. From DNA, dark energy, dark matter, and superconductors to
Philosophical Mercury, Basil Valentine's Currus Triumphalis Antimonii,
bhasma medicines, and the Smaragdine Table of Hermes Trismegistus, Dr.
Mack generously shares the fruits of a lifetime devoted to enquiry and
the pursuit of the good path. As Paul Hardacre says in his preface,
Dr. Mack "... purports that science is edging closer to understanding
Nature, and that the essential, yet missing, components of
understanding are to be found within the philosophia perennis et
universalis ... that the understanding which has eluded many of the
greatest scientific minds throughout recorded history has been known
by alchemists for a very long time." Visionary, revelatory and
complemented by full colour plates, Alchemical Essays is a sincere,
practical and thoughtprovoking treasure for readers "with a desire to
search everywhere and to learn everything." Dr. Ross Mack is an
operative alchemist with more than 30 years of experience. His
personal pursuit of alchemy has driven him through several academic
degrees, including osteopathy, medicine, natural medicine, herbal
medicine, a PhD in Analytical Chemistry, and seven years of alchemical
studies with Frater Albertus Spagyricus, in both Salt Lake City and
Australia. Softcover. 8vo. 288pp. Stiff card covers with printed inner

The Hermes Paradigm Drawing upon many years of rigorous
research conducted by dozens of trained individuals, Rubaphilos
Salfluere offers a detailed consideration of the core concepts that
afford a glimpse at the nature of the philosophy, and its first
principles, which lie at the heart of Hermetic science - the source
and backbone, yet least understood aspect, of the Western mystery
tradition. Beginning with an examination of the history of Hermeticism
over the past two millennia, a clear historical and conceptual
distinction is made between the body of pure Hermetic knowledge - the
secret tradition - and the popular outer tradition, the latter of
which is so often mistaken for the former. The much-neglected and
misunderstood heart of Hermetic philosophy and its practical
expression - the science of Hermetic initiation - is the subject of
detailed discussion, as is the central role that alchemy plays in the
theory and practical dynamic of Hermeticism. The Emerald Tablet of
Hermes Trismegistus is dissected in order to provide the reader with
an introduction to how natural law provides the blueprint for both the
alchemical laboratory tradition and the inner alchemical journey of
initiation. Originally trained as a neo-Jungian therapist, Rubaphilos
Salfluere began his nine year alchemical apprenticeship in 1988, under
the private instruction of the last active New Zealand graduate of
Frater Albertus Spagyricus. During the past 20 years, Rubaphilos has
been a member of a number of respected esoteric organisations
including the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosæ Crucis, the Builders of
the Adytum, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Philosophers of
Nature, and the Freemasons. Softcover. 8vo. 165pp. Modern Magistery

The Elixir of
Immortality: A Modern-Day Alchemist's Discovery of the Philosopher's Stone
In 1989, while
attempting to extract precious minerals from his property, a wealthy
Arizonan obtained a mysterious white material that initially defied
scientific attempts to identify it. After several years of testing, this
substance was revealed to consist of gold and platinum--but in a form
unknown to modern science. Further research showed that this powder, which
had also been discovered to possess marvelous healing powers, contained
monatomic forms of precious metals whose electron units had been altered
to no longer display the physical, chemical, or electrical properties of
the original elements. This substance, Robert Cox shows, bears eerie
resemblance to the ultimate quest of the alchemists: the elixir of
immortality. The mysterious
material-spiritual science of alchemy was once pervasive throughout the
ancient world, spanning the globe from China and India to Egypt and
medieval Europe. In The Elixir of
Immortality, Robert Cox reviews the
alchemical lore of these traditions and the procedures each used to
produce this fabulous elixir. Using his own alchemical research, Cox then
reveals secrets that have been kept hidden for millennia uncovered in his
own modern-day quest to rediscover this long-sought elixir of life. 210

Caveman
Chemistry: 28 Projects, from the Creation of Fire to the Production of
Plastics
Half a million years ago our ancestors learned to make
fire from scratch. They crafted intricate tools from
stone and brewed mind-altering elixirs from honey.
Their descendants transformed clay into pottery, wool
into clothing, and ashes into cleansers. In ceramic
crucibles they won metal from rock, the metals lead to
colored glazes and glass. Buildings of brick and
mortar enshrined books of parchment and paper. Kings
and queens demanded ever more colorful clothing and
accessories in order to out-class clod-hoppers and
call-girls. Kingdoms rose and fell by the power of
saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. And the demands of
everyday folk for glass and paper and soap stimulated
the first round of chemical industrialization. From
sulfuric acid to sodium carbonate. From aniline dyes
to analgesic drugs. From blasting powder to
fertilizers and plastics. In a phrase, From Caveman to
Chemist. Your guides on this journey are the four
alchemical elements; Fire, Earth, Air and Water. These
archetypical characters deliver first-hand accounts of
the births of their respective technologies. The
spirit of Fire, for example, was born in the first
creature to cultivate the flame. This spirit passed
from one person to another, from one generation to
another, from one millennium to another, arriving at
last in the pages of this book. The spirit of Earth
taught folks to make tools of stone, the spirit of Air
imparted knowledge of units and the spirit of Water
began with the invention of spirits. Having traveled
the world from age to age, who can say where they will
find their next home? Perhaps they will find one in
you. 412 pages. Retails for $29.95. 50% discount! $15
Isaac Newton was a dedicated alchemist, a fact usually
obscured as unsuited to his stature as a leader of the
scientific revolution. Author Philip Ashley Fanning
has diligently examined the evidence and concludes
that the two major aspects of Newton’s
research—conventional science and alchemy—were
actually inseparable. In Isaac Newton and the
Transmutation of Alchemy, Fanning reveals the
surprisingly profound influence that Newton’s study of
this hermetic art had in shaping his widely adopted
scientific concepts.Alchemy was an ancient tradition
of speculative philosophy that promised miraculous
powers, such as the ability to change base metals into
gold and the possibility of a universal solvent or
elixir of life. Fanning compellingly describes this
carefully tended esoteric institution, which may have
found its greatest advocate in the career of the
father of modern science. Relegated to the fringes of
discourse until its twentieth-century revival by
innovative thinkers such as psychiatrist Carl Jung,
alchemy offers a key to understanding both the
foundations of modern knowledge and important avenues
in which we may yet discover wisdom. 255 pages. 2009.
