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, Robert Allen 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 the production of plant products and transitions the reader-student into the basics of mineral work--what some consider the true domain of alchemy. New students to practical laboratory alchemy will enjoy reading Real Alchemy and hopefully find the encouragement needed to undertake their own alchemical journey. 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? Judge for yourself.

Alchemy is the ancient sacred science concerned with the mysteries of life and consciousness as reflected through all Nature. It is a harmonious blending of physical and subtle forces which lifts the subject, whether it be man or metal, to a more evolved state of being. The Way of the Crucible is a ground-breaking modern manual on the art of Alchemy that draws on both modern scientific technology and ancient methods. A laboratory scientist and chemist, Bartlett provides an overview of how practical alchemy works along with treatises on Astrology, Qabalah, Herbalism, and minerals, as they relate to Alchemy. He also explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term "Philosopher's Stone" and describes practical methods toward its achievement. The Way of the Crucible provides directions for a more advanced understanding of the mineral work -- what some consider the true domain of Alchemy.

The Way of the Crucible

In this landmark exploration of the qualities of elemental degree, Robert Allen Bartlett sets up ancient alchemical natural philosophy against modern lab equipment. In the span of 150 pages, he outlines the historical basis for assigning temperament to an herb, and then presents raw laboratory data, in some cases copied facsimile from his own notes, to probe how chemistry either confirms or denies the results achieved through traditional alchemical theory and medical practice. A first printing, limited to 666 copies, features a full color interior and gold foil cover accents is available directly through the publisher. This version is the print-on-demand version.

Repasando la historia del mundo, vemos que el arte o ciencia de la alquimia aparece casi en cualquier epoca y en cualquier lugar. Se puede hablar de la alquimia china, de una alquimia hindu, helenica, arabe o europea. Algunos autores se centraron en el aspecto material, otros en el espiritual y otros, en ambos al mismo tiempo. Ello ha hecho que la alquimia no sea un sistema claro y monolitico, sino mas bien un viaje lleno de contradicciones, callejones sin salida, y senales equivocas. En este libro, Robert Allen Bartlett, una de las mas relevantes autoridades contemporaneas, ensena los procesos y experimentos secretos de esta disciplina con una claridad y apertura totales. Expone los origenes hermeticos del arte alquimico y muestra como es practicado por los modernos alquimistas. Este es quizas el unico libro que no aborda este arte sagrado con metaforas, sino a traves de una exposicion clara y sencilla, mostrando tanto sus bases teoricas como la metodologia a seguir para producir extractos vegetales y minerales segun la antigua tradicion alquimica. / Real Alchemy provides directions regarding the production of plant products and transitions the reader-student into the basics of mineral work,what some consider the true domain of alchemy. Bartlett explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term ""Philosopher's Stone"" and describes several real and practical methods for its achievement.
