ALCHEMICAL MANDALA

Adam Mclean

Mandalas have long been recognised as important tools in Eastern spiritual traditions for focusing meditation. Though various Western traditions possess such contemplative tools, they have often not been recognised as such, except by those deeply schooled in Western esotericism. Adam McLean remedies this situation by presenting and analysing in great depth, over forty beautiful engravings, reproduced as full-page illustrations, from alchemical, kabbalistic, magical, Rosicrucian and Hermetic sources.

This is the first book exclusively dedicated to the mandala tradition in the West and is an extremely valuable sourcework on account of the illustrations and commentaries. Not only is THE ALCHEMICAL MANDALA a comprehensive guide on how to "read" the cosmological and spiritual symbolism of alchemical engravings, it, also, outlines three ways for working practically with these mandalas in meditation.

ALCHEMY AND KABBALAH IN THE TAROT £12.99
ALCHEMY AND KABBALAH IN THE TAROT
The Keys of Radical Spiritual Transformation
Samael Aun Weor

This book describes the transformative power of the ancient sciences of alchemy and Kabbalah. It shows how our human consciousness can expand to perceive matter and energy invisible to the flesh.

Samael Aun Weor remains largely unknown in the English-speaking world. But in his native Latin America, he is known internationally as the founder of the very widespread Gnostic Movement and writer of over seventy books about the universal cosmic religion from which all mystical and religious traditions blossomed. In recent years, due to the efforts made by a small handful of people who arrived in English-speaking countries in order to share their experience and enthusiasm for the practical and effective science of Gnosis, interest in Samael Aun Weor has been growing.

COMMENTARY ON THE MUTUS LIBER £12.99
COMMENTARY ON THE MUTUS LIBER

Adam Mclean

The fifteen plates of the Mutus Liber "the Mute Book," are well known, and this book without words is recognized as a classic of the seventeenth-century alchemical tradition. Although the engravings seem to outline an alchemical process in detail, their message is not immediately obvious and it really requires a commentary to make it intelligible to the present-day reader. Adam McLean's extensive commentary on this series of engravings reveals the Mutus Liber as a synthesis of spiritual, soul, and physical alchemy. While the entire secret of the physical process is not fully revealed in the plates, enough information is given to piece together details of a modus operandi; indeed, modern French alchemists like Canseliet and Barbault have found great inspiration and hints relating to the physical work in the Mutus Liber. As one of the most significant documents of the alchemical tradition, this edition of the Mutus Liber will be appreciated by all students of the Hermetic tradition, for Adam McLean's fascinating and insightful commentary throws a penetrating light on both the spiritual and physical dimensions of the Great Work.

COUNT MICHAEL MAIER £14.99
COUNT MICHAEL MAIER
Life and Writings
J B Craven

This book provides an excellent introduction for the serious student of alchemy via the works of Count Michael Maier (1568 - 1622) one of the giants of the Alchemical Renaissance of the early 17th Century. Maier's Atalanta Fugiens and Themis Aurea transcend their era and continue to inspire today's students of alchemy. But Maier's many other works remain virtually unknown - to our loss for he was a champion of Rosicrucianism as well as a spiritual alchemist of the highest calibre. Reverend J.B. Craven had access to important source works on Michael Maier and his writings many of which were unavailable in English. In this collection first published in 1914 Craven provides a biography of Maier; traces his career as a physician; his associations with Dr Robert Fludd Sir William Paddy and Sir Thomas Smith; and his pursuit of alchemy as both a science for transmuting lead into gold and a metaphor for spiritual attainment. This book is the only one to analyse all of Maier's work in depth and demystify many of the alchemical symbols and allusions in Maier's texts. R.A. Gilbert's Foreword details J.B. Craven's life writings and his role in illuminating the mysterious practice of alchemy.

ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY £14.99
ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY
A Modern-Day Alchemist's Discovery of the Philosopher's Stone
Robert E. Cox

In 1989, while attempting to extract precious minerals from his property, a wealthy Arizonan obtained a mysterious white material that initially defied scientific attempts to identify it. After several years of testing, this substance was revealed to consist of gold and platinum - but in a form unknown to modern science. Further research showed that this powder, which had, also, been discovered to possess marvellous healing powers, contained monatomic forms of precious metals whose electron units had been altered to no longer display the physical, chemical or electrical properties of the original elements. This substance, Robert Cox shows, bears eerie resemblance to the ultimate quest of the alchemists: the elixir of immortality.

The mysterious material-spiritual science of alchemy was once pervasive throughout the ancient world, spanning the globe from China and India to Egypt and mediaeval Europe. In THE ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY, Robert Cox reviews the alchemical lore of these traditions and the procedures each used to produce this fabulous elixir. Using his own alchemical research, Cox then reveals secrets that have been kept hidden for millennia uncovered in his own modern-day quest to rediscover this long-sought elixir of life.

· Provides an overview of alchemical practices in the ancient world -
from Europe to China
· Reveals the alchemical secrets for creating this elixir in clear
scientific language

EMERALD TABLET
Alchemy For Personal Transformation
Dennis William Hauck

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. Ostensibly concerned with turning base metals into gold, alchemy was in fact dedicated to transforming the lead of self into the gold of spirit.

This brilliant history of alchemy traces its sources back to ancient Egypt and presents alchemy as a useful, practical system of self-transformation. Each of the seven steps of alchemical transformation is explained, with hands-on techniques and exercises, treating alchemy as a living discipline for achieving a spiritual awakening.

MIND INTO MATTER £12.99
MIND INTO MATTER
A New Alchemy of Science and Spirit
Fred Alan Wolf

Alchemists of old attempted to make sense of the universe--to discover the connection between mind and matter. Some of today's scientists, in particular quantum physicists, are doing the same. In this contribution to the study of consciousness, physicist Fred Alan Wolf reveals what he calls the "new alchemy"--a melding of the ideas of the old alchemists and the new scientists to reach a fuller understanding of mind and matter.

An elegant book with short, stand-alone chapters, each framed by an alchemical symbol and its definition. Thought-provoking for scientists and lay people alike.

PLATONIC DOCTRINES OF ALBINUS £10.99

PLATONIC DOCTRINES OF ALBINUS

Albinus

Among the many Platonists of the second century A.D., Albinus is one of the most important. He belongs to the period commonly known as 'Middle Platonism' which stands between the teachings of the Old Academy and the Neoplatonists.

The Platonic Doctrines is the only complete philosophical textbook surviving from the ancient world and is the only fully-preserved work of Platonism from the time of Plato until that of Plotinus (circa 205-270 A.D.). The work was clearly intended to be an introduction to Plato's writings and is presented here in a definitive English language translation for the first time.

The Platonic Doctrines surveys the topics of dialectic, metaphysics, mathematics, theology, physics, and ethics. The work provides good insights into the philosophical thinking which immediately preceded Plotinus, and anticipates some of the mystical theology of later centuries.
