Alchemy: Page 3

In nature, the chemical elements combine in ways that suffer permanent transformations. The atoms of different chemical elements can suffer reactions of transmutation (natural or artificial). Thus a nucleus loses or wins one or more protons by modifying its structure and becoming an atom of another element.

THE TRANSMUTATION OF SEXUAL POTENTIAL IN ENERGY The transmutation represents the transforming of a chemical element in another chemical element, accompanied by a huge release of energy. The transmutation is produced by the radioactive disintegration or by nuclear reaction that are possible even at biologic level at the low temperatures.

A history of alchemy and alchemists.

Alchemy resources.

Most alchemical and hermetic texts require long study and contemplation and many people find that this is better achieved through a conventional book rather than by reading from a computer screen, so I provide in parallel with the web site a number of printed books of rare hermetic material. As there are very few books published each year directly relevant to alchemy and hermetic philosophy, it is entirely possible for individuals with modest resources to establish a substantial collection of this material. Most of the books which I have available have been produced in very small editions, and so are very collectable items.

When an intelligent man [in the past] expresses a view which [today] seems to us obviously absurd, we should try to understand how it ever came to seem true. This exercise of historical and psychological imagination at once enlarges the scope of our thinking, and helps us to realize how foolish many of our own cherished prejudices will seem to an age which has a different temper of mind.

New Alchemy is dedicated to publishing works designed for the electronic medium on a wide range of subjects, encompassing the science and spirituality of both East and West, ancient and new.
