Alchemy Unveiled
Johannes Helmond
For centuries, alchemy has fascinated the Western mind. Who were
the alchemists? Were they scientists, mystics, or both? What were they
really seeking? And what was the secret of the Philosophers' Stone? This
rare text, written in German, comes from the hand of a modern alchemist, of
whom nothing is known except his name. A work of philosophical alchemy or
Hermetic philosophy which concerns itself with the meaning of spirit, body,
and soul, it draws upon the ancient doctrines of the Eleusinian Mysteries as
well as upon other aspects of the esoteric Western tradition to reveal the
inner truth of the alchemical art. Alchemy Unveiled proves that the
alchemical tradition is more than a fragment of the medieval past. The
ancient Hermetic art is alive and well, and it still has a deep and lasting
value for contemporary humanity. Alchemy Unveiled provides excellent reading for the mature
Franz Bardon
student. The allegorical symbolism in Alchemy Unveiled is a spiritual
alchemcial process, not a physical one designed to create gold in a
laboratory through various processes, but is intended to teach the advanced
student how to separate the good and bad within oneself in order to produce
"gold" out of oneself.
