Hello! I know bugger all about alchemy, but your thread had a nice title so I figured I'd say hello back!


--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.
--Jac O'keeffe

It's a massive subject and also very personal so I'm not sure what you mean by authentic, but this book might be a good place to start: http://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Mysticism-Alexander-Roob/dp/3836549360
I like it because I like pictures. I've also been watching some of Dennis William Hauck's lectures on youtube, he seems to know what he's talking about. Hope that helps?

My wife and I used Hauck's copies of The Emerald Tablet for our wedding vows on 11/11/11 @11:11:11 a.m. est. Roob's is a great picture book :thumbup: but I think he wants to DO something. :lol:

Quote:

But among these great Masters of Ancient Egypt there once dwelt one
of whom Masters hailed as "The Master of Masters." This man, if "man"
indeed he was, dwelt in Egypt in the earliest days. He was known as
Hermes Trismegistus. He was the father of the Occult Wisdom; the
founder of Astrology; the discoverer of Alchemy.




Quote:

In the early days, there was a compila-
tion of certain Basic Hermetic Doctrines,
passed on from teacher to student, which
was known as **THE KYBALION,'* the
exact significance and meaning of the term
having been lost for several centuries. This
teaching, however, is known to many to
whom it has descended, from mouth to ear,
on and on throughout the centuries. Its
precepts have never been written down, or
printed, so far as we know. It was merely
a collection of maxims, axioms, and pre-
cepts, which were non-understandable to
outsiders, but which were readily under-
stood by students, after the axioms.



22 The Kyhalion

maximSy and precepts had been explained
and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates
to their Neophytes. These teachings really
constituted the basic principles of **The
Art of Hermetic Alchemy, *' which, con-
trary to the general belief, dealt in the
mastery of Mental Forces, rather than Ma-
terial Elements — the Transmutation of one
kind of Mental Vibrations into others, in-
stead of the changing of one kind of metal
into another. The legends of the * * Philoso-
pher *s Stone*' which would turn base metal
into Gold, was an allegory relating to Her-
metic Philosophy, readily understood by
all students of true Hermeticism.

Yeah, I would like to do something one day too but so far my interest in the subject has remained purely artistic and theoretical. I did start some operations a couple of years ago but I wasn't following any guidelines and I think it was moreso a symptom of psychotic floundering than genuine practice so it never went anywhere. It seems like a lot of preparation is involved and I need to sort myself out a bit and learn some basic meditation skills before I try again.
Very sexy bookshelf btw. Is that Zurvan Akarana and Obi Wan Kenobi I see, together at last?

Very astute about Obi Wan. The armored character is a token gift from former friends who travelled to Spain. No known character, but among some of the representative archetypes on my Jungian shelf. (Don't worry, ther is a 1/2" pane of Lucite® between the heating mantle and the books for heat and splash protection). A nice book collection for a certain type of person. I was thinking of willing it to Dennis McKenna for a Terrence McKenna museum (since his own library was destroyed by fire). We'll see. I might rather recycle the books to those who will benefit from them. A new bookshelf in another room now houses Eastern wisdom.
