A Little History

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.

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.
