The Emerald Tablet?an ancient document that contains the essence of the alchemical teachings?has had an important influence on many Western spiritual and religious traditions. Ostensibly concerned with turning base metals into gold, alchemy was in fact dedicated to transforming the lead of self into the gold of spirit. This brilliant history of alchemy traces its sources back to ancient Egypt, and presents alchemy as a useful, practical system of self-transformation. Each of the seven steps of alchemical transformation is explained, with hands-on techniques and exercises, treating alchemy as a living discipline for achieving a spiritual awakening.
The author of this book, Dennis William Hauck, is a Hermetic
scholar versed in both Eastern and Western techniques of alchemy
and widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on the
subject. Now, in this book, he makes alchemy's secrets and powers
accessible to everyone with the desire to experience physical,
mental, and spiritual transformation. By providing clear
explanations, moving meditations, and hands-on experiments making
tinctures and elixirs, this beautifully illustrated guide passes on
the knowledge and creative energy of alchemy's magnificent
discipline-sending a golden arc of learning from thousands of years
in the past into your life today. Hauck presents a fascinating
history of alchemy-from the ancient Emerald Tablet to modern
quantum chemistry - and elaborates on its arcane principles in an
intimate, conversational way that anyone can understand. His
portrayals of individual alchemists bring them alive and show how
they built on each other's work through an "Underground River" of
secret knowledge passed down through the ages.
