Alchemy: The Great Art

by Jim Leach

These great alchemical art works hold the secrets of the universe hidden in plain sight. In many ancient Books there are found many definitions of this Art. For Hermes said of this Alchemy is a Corporal Science simply composed of one and by one, naturally conjoining things more precious, by knowledge and effect, and converting them by a natural commixtion into a better kind. A certain other Alchemy is a Science, teaching how to transform any kind of metal into and that by a proper medicine, as it appeared by many Philosophers' Books. Alchemy therefore is a science teaching how to make and compound a certain medicine, which is called Elixir, the which when it is cast upon metals or imperfect bodies, does fully perfect them in the very projection. Enjoy this collection as you pull back the veil on the secrets of the universe.
