Book: Alchemy and Mysticism

This book is full of wonderful old alchemical plates and played an important part in my initial interest in pursuing this course of study. The text is confusing initially but if you set your intention and just observe the artwork it will speak volumes to your essence.


"The Hermetic Museum takes its readers on a magical mystery tour spanning an arc from the mediaeval cosmogram and images of Christian mysticism, through the fascinating world of alchemy to the art of the Romantic era. The enigmatic hieroglyphs of cabbalists, Rosicrucians and freemasons are shown to be closely linked with the early scientific illustrations in the fields of medicine, chemistry, optics and colour theory."
