What is the secret meaning of alchemical symbolism? Why was the Royal Art kept secret for so long? Could ancient images really turn molten lead into gold with a mere pinch of the Philosopher's Stone? Really? Alchemy is perhaps the last true magical art to survive the ravages of the modern world. In this exquisite book, top laboratory alchemist Guy Ogilvy initiates the reader into some of the key concepts and practices of this extraordinary field of study. It includes extensive appendices. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with information. ""Fascinating"" FINANCIAL TIMES. ""Beautiful"" LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS. ""Rich and Artful"" THE LANCET. ""Genuinely mind-expanding"" FORTEAN TIMES. ""Excellent"" NEW SCIENTIST. ""Stunning"" NEW YORK TIMES. Small books, big ideas.
