Alchemy

by Stanislas Klossowski de Rola Author

This beautiful illustrated book shows how alchemy developed as a system of cosmic symbolism meant as a way to reach unity with the world. Discover how the trope of turning base metals into gold was really a metaphor of using early science and spirituality to create a model of the universe and synthesize its forces and elements to reach a perfect synthesis.
