At the dawn of the 20th century, humanity was facing global disaster. Mass starvation, long predicted for the fast-growing population, was about to become a reality. A call went out to the worlds scientists to find a solution. This is the story of the two enormously gifted, fatally flawed men who found it: the brilliant, self-important Fritz Haber and the reclusive, alcoholic Carl Bosch. Together they discovered a way to make bread out of air, built city-sized factories, controlled world markets, and saved millions of lives.

Many regard alchemy as a metaphor for inner transformation. But this is only half the story. According to Catherine MacCoun, alchemy is no mere metaphor. It’s real magic. Transforming the inner world is, for the alchemist, a way to transform the outer world. Through studying the principles of alchemy, we can achieve extraordinary effects from ordinary actions by understanding how the world really works.

In this work, which comprises a series of lectures delivered in the early 2000's, Maja D'Aoust takes us on a journey to explore the history of what Alchemy is in different cultures, timelines and creative practices, to shed some light on this often misunderstood spiritual technique

Hermeticism holds in itself a great philosophical foundation that approaches God as an ultimate and transcendent power through which three parts of wisdom shape the universe. Alchemy, Astrology, and Theurgy describe in its essence a journey from the corporal to the spiritual on which many western philosophies are also built. From these three pillars of wisdom, Hermes himself received his name ‘Trismegistus’ - Thrice Great.

The Emerald Tablet—an ancient document that contains the essence of the alchemical teachings—has had an important influence on many Western spiritual and religious traditions.

Alchemy is the science of transformation - how to change one thing into something else. In The Alchemy of Inner Work, Dechar and Fox examine how illness, suffering, and disease - the "lead" of our lives - can become the "gold" of our authentic selves, and the key to good health and well-being. Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, Eastern and Western alchemical traditions, Kabbalah, and Jungian psychology - plus case studies from working with patients - the authors provide hands-on insights for bringing "the soul of medicine" back into our lives.

The Path of Alchemy introduces the history and basic laws of this ancient practice, and explains how it ties into Qabala, tarot, astrology, and the four elements. Safe, modern techniques - based on spagyrics (plant alchemy) - for producing distillations, stones, tinctures, and elixirs are given, along with their uses in physical healing, spiritual growth, psychic experiments, initiation, consecration, spellwork, and more. Each chapter includes meditations, projects, and suggested reading as aids to "inner transformation," an equally important aspect of alchemy.

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes & Kybalion compose two pillars of Hermetic thought. Combined here in one volume, these two works share true wisdom with those ready to receive it. The Kybalion was first published anonymously in 1908 by “The Three Initiates.” The true authorship of the work is unknown, although theories suggest it was written entirely or in part by William Walker Atkinson. The Emerald Tablet of Hermes is a short, ancient text attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. The brief Emerald Tablet has been puzzling and fascinating scholars for over 1,000 years.
