Synopsis

Transform Your Mind and Soul to Find Your Highest Self

There's a lot more to alchemy than turning lead into gold. Alchemists are committed to not only the transformation of actual substances with elements but also the transformation of themselves. This beginner's guide teaches you how to refine the baser parts of yourself (such as your fears, doubts, and anger) and take steps to uncover your truest, enlightened self.

  • Know Your History--Learn all about alchemy's roots and basic principles, including its three primary facets: physical, spiritual, and mental.
  • Discover Who You Are--Insightful activities and introspective journaling exercises make alchemy accessible.
  • Expand Your Learning--Explore illustrated vignettes on notable alchemists, like Nicolas Flamel and Christina of Sweden, along with charts on the Ladder of the Planets and their corresponding elemental associations.

Bring positive change into your life with the transformative powers of alchemy in this beginner's guide.
