Description for The Hermetic Tradition: Symbols and Teachings of the Royal Art
Paperback. .
This important survey of alchemical symbols and doctrines sets forth the mysterious worldview and teachings of the practitioners of the "royal art."

New Dawn, May-June 2003
"The Hermetic Tradition is not a book to be read once for the value of its information about European alchemy
