Edited by A. E. Waite

In the long history of the Western esoteric tradition, few individuals have shown a deeper understanding of its secrets than Paracelsus. This collection of his essential writings on the art and science of alchemy is edited by the leading scholar of esotericism A. E. Waite.

Volume I includes Paracelsus’ major work the Coelum Philosophorum and other writings on the four elements, the transmutation of metals, and the philosophers’ stone or Tincture.

Volume II contains a description of the Tria Prima and the correspondence of alchemy with astrology. Also included are writings on the quintessence and immortality, as well as the longer Archidoxies.
