Alchemy's Secret Tradition

Alchemy's Secret Tradition is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite, a renowned scholar and historian of esotericism. The book delves into the history and philosophy of alchemy, a mystical and spiritual practice that seeks to transmute base metals into gold and to attain spiritual enlightenment. Waite explores the origins of alchemy in ancient Egypt and Greece, its development in the Islamic world and medieval Europe, and its transformation into modern science. He also examines the key figures and texts in the alchemical tradition, including Hermes Trismegistus, Paracelsus, and the Rosicrucians. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the alchemical tradition and its significance for understanding the history of science, philosophy, and spirituality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the esoteric and mystical aspects of human culture and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
