Alchemy is a rich and complex esoteric tradition that has
flourished world-wide since the beginning of recorded history, if
not earlier. There are three main traditions: Western Christian,
Indo-tibetan and Chinese Taoist. Within this diversity there are
many common features, which are analysed, organized, and brought
together in this comprehensive dictionary of terms, symbols, and
personalities. This dictionary is the distillation of many years'
research into the extensive arcane literature. It is a reference
work to guide the readers throught the labyrinth of pre-Newtonian
science and philosophy. The dictionary covers not only the
materialist dimension of the search for the elixir of life and the
transmutation of metals, but also the inner search for the gold of
mystical illumination. Jung called alchemy 'the projection of a
drama both cosmic and spiritual in laboratorty terms'. This opus
alchymicum goes beyond the bare analysis and interpretation of
terms to present a harmonic, integrated vision of man and nature,
which may help to heal the fragmented world view of modern science.
