Alchemy Years IV–V: Four Elements, Paracelsus & Nicolas Flamel, A5

Alchemy Years IV–V: Four Elements, Paracelsus & Nicolas Flamel

A fully readable alchemy textbook for the middle of the course: intermediate transmutation, the four elements, Paracelsus and Nicolas Flamel.

What did Paracelsus teach about the four elements? How does transmutation become harder step by step? And who was the most famous alchemist of all?

About Alchemy, Years IV–V: the four elements, Paracelsus and Nicolas Flamel

Alchemy: Years IV–V is the second volume of the alchemy course. Building on the symbols and basic transmutation of the first book, it moves on to intermediate transmutation and to the four elements — earth, water, air and fire — as the alchemists understood them. Two great names stand at the centre of this volume: Paracelsus, whose ideas shaped both alchemy and medicine, and Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist whose name has been linked with the legendary stone for centuries. The book mixes theory with the stories of these masters.
