Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored

Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored is a book by Archibald Cockren. 


Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored’ is Cockren’s attempt to make the physical benefits of the Art accessible to everyone, stripped of its tortuous and mystifying symbolism. Cockren gives the reader a brief and accurate history of Alchemy, along with biographical accounts of some of the major Adepts who have figured in its story. The process of extraction of the Alchemical ‘seeds’ or vital essences of various metals is revealed, and Cockren describes the medical elixirs that can be obtained, climaxing with the final step in the Great Arcanum – the discovery of the Alkahest of the Philosophers.
