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 "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 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
