About This Book
The text distinguishes natural and supernatural realms, defining the visible and tangible versus the invisible and spiritual apprehended by faith. It develops an alchemical cosmology in which celestial bodies and spiritual essences infuse the earth, producing the conception, generation, and ripening of metals and minerals through analogies of attraction and impregnation. Tinctures, roots, and spirits of metals are treated as intertwined material and spiritual principles to be discovered, prepared, and augmented by artisanal operations. The discussion also considers miracles, angelic and demonic agency, visionary experiences, and practical commentaries on antimony and allied processes, while carefully separating allowable sacred magick from illicit sorcery.
