About This Book
alchemyhermeticismnatural-philosophy
Discover a scathing 18th-century 'tell-all' that exposes the ruinous deceptions of alchemical gold-making. This anonymous polemic strips away the obfuscation of the 'Adepts' to reveal a path where practical metallurgy and spiritual wisdom replace the futile pursuit of 'transitory smoke.'
