A practical manual for the laboratory work of alchemy — written for those who intend to actually do it.
Frater Albertus's Alchemist's Handbook is the standard introductory text for operative alchemy — the actual laboratory practice of working with plant, mineral, and metallic matter according to alchemical principles. It is not a philosophical survey. It is a working guide, written by a practicing alchemist who founded the Paracelsus Research Society and taught laboratory alchemy for decades.
Inside:
- The three essentials of alchemy: Sulfur, Mercury, and Salt
- Step-by-step instructions for plant alchemy (spagyrics) as a starting point
- Laboratory equipment, procedures, and safety considerations
- The philosophical framework that gives the operations their meaning
- Guidance on progressing from plant work to mineral and metallic operations
If you want to understand alchemy from the inside — not just read about it — this is where you begin.
