Splendor Solis

Silberer reads a hermetic parable as if it were a dream and builds a psychoanalytic theory of alchemical symbolism from it. This is the book that shaped how Jung and later writers approached the great work.

Dr. Herbert Silberer

Twelve short allegorical keys describing the stages of the great work, each one a riddle wrapped around a chemical operation. A foundational emblem text of European alchemy, closing with a tract on sulphur, mercury and salt.

Basil Valentine

The seven day allegorical journey that launched the Rosicrucian movement and encoded the alchemical marriage in narrative form. Read as a story it is also a map of the stages of transformation.

Johann Valentin Andreae

An illustrated A to Z of alchemical terms, from calcination and dissolution to the Tria Prima and the planetary metals. A quick reference for decoding the symbolism in older treatises.
