“If you really want to learn the basic principles of practical alchemy, Frater Albertus’ Alchemist’s Handbook is literally is worth its weight in gold.”—from the foreword by Israel Regardie, author of The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order

The Alchemist’s Handbook has long been considered a modern-day classic on the actual practice of alchemy since its first publication in 1960. The book still stands as a groundbreaking work presenting in clear, concise language a practical manual of working knowledge that was formerly handed down only under oath of secrecy.

The scope of alchemical work is to provide both a means to synthesize all the other sciences and the necessary training of the intellectual and spiritual faculties. “Hermetic philosophy, with its practical arcanum,” writes Frater Albertus, “repeats itself over and over again in the ancient axiom ‘As above, so below. As below, so above.’”

The Alchemist’s Handbook discusses in detail:The basic fundamental principles of alchemy.A guide to the formation of an inexpensive home laboratory with illustrations of the necessary equipment.Step-by-step instructions for the work of the Lesser Circulation, the alchemical transformation within the plant kingdom.  “The teachings of Frater Albertus are part of a lineage that traces back to Rosicrucian sources and much earlier and The Alchemist’s Handbook is still the best introduction to that lineage. If you feel the call of Alchemy and want real information on the subject, this is definitely the book you will want to read, reread, and read again. It may just turn out to be the book that changes your life.”—From the foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy: A Primer of Practical Alchemy

First published by Weiser Books in 1974, this new Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy.

Review: Alchemy is literally the changing, and hopefully raising, of vibratory state of mind or matter to a higher and more coherent level. If the average searcher of this phenomena is earnest as doesn’t just expect this transformation to happen over night then this book will deliver with successive readings in this Hermeticists honest opinion. As with everything in life you have to already be ready for the initiation and during trust that the process will happen with an open mind and the universe will provide for you.May you be reborn from the ashes and know thyself..Namaste

Review: As a neophyte to the Royal Art, I found this book to be exceedingly, in the words of Israel Regardie, worth it’s weight in gold. If you’ve even a smidgen of interest when it comes to practical Alchemy, this book has all you need, as a beginner in the Royal Art, when it comes to the proper Spagryical operations.Alchemist’s Handbook has all the information you’re going to need to master the Prima Materia, using modern equipment. From how to collect various plant materials and how to prepare them, to the Astrological correspondences of plants and metals and the proper ciphers and glyphs, this book is perfect for the aspiring Alchemist.My only criticism is the lack of description when it comes to traditional, Alchemical apparatus and how to use them. Though, this will only be a concern with those of a more traditional mindset.Some books I recommend picking-up along with this book are Alchemical Guide to Herbs & Food, Alchemy Reference Guide, and A Time For Magick.
