A three-year alchemy course, from symbols to the elixir of life

Alchemy: Years II–III is where every future alchemist starts. It teaches the alchemical symbols — the old written language of the art, in which metals, elements and processes have their own signs — and the idea at the heart of alchemy, that one substance can become another. Years IV–V moves on to the four elements as the alchemists understood them and to two great names: Paracelsus, whose ideas shaped both alchemy and medicine, and Nicolas Flamel. Year VI reaches the great goal of the art, the elixir of life, and closes with the legacy of Flamel.

Unfogging the Future: divination books by Cassandra Vablatsky

Volume 3 goes deeper into the practical methods of divination: the shapes left in a teacup and how to read them, crystal gazing and the interpretation of dreams. Volume 4 takes the course further with astrology, numerology and scrying, and asks what responsibility comes with knowing the future. Accounts of famous seers and their predictions give the theory a historical side. Our library includes volumes 3 and 4.

Read in order, or as a set

The alchemy books are written as one course, so they are best read from Years II–III to Year VI; the set of 3 is the easiest way to get them all. The set of 5 adds both divination textbooks and makes a complete shelf for the mystical subjects.
