Sylvia Rose, 2024

World of Alchemy Series Book One - A Little History - is an entertaining journey through the history, philosophy, key players, evolution and concepts of the marvelous mystical practice of alchemy. Alchemy is an exploration of body, mind and spirit from the earliest days, and alchemical processes are used from the times of prehistory to modern day in food, drink, beauty and cosmetics, medicine and the cutting edge of science. Based on natural processes and the ancient quest of knowing the Self, alchemy fundamentally evolves from metallurgy and progresses through the minds of Greek philosophers to a shining golden age in Alexandra in the late years BCE and early years AD. As a practice alchemy is over two thousand years old. Follow the progress of this remarkable medium from ancient Egypt to the jewel of Alexandrian alchemy, to the Islamic and Renaissance Golden Ages. Explore alchemy of China, where alchemists are forbidden to make fake gold, the Europe of Henry IV where they're forbidden from making real gold. While alchemy is connected strongly to chrysopoeia or gold-making, its transmutive power also exends to the creation of a panacea to heal all disease. Visit ancient places, meet quirky characters and discover a wealth of knowledge about alchemy, nature, science and history. Share these ideas with others. Release the sparkling treasures within, on an epic exploration of history, medicine, science, philosophy and magic. World of Alchemy is a series of quick-read books featuring historical, esoteric, spiritual alchemy and concurrent processes of analytic psychology and nature. "A Little History" gives an excellent grounding to the study of alchemy as an expressive tool, spiritual reference, hobby or passion.
