More than a historical study, Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored is a practical and philosophical guide to the ancient world of alchemy and the lost traditions of spiritual and material transformation.
A physician deeply immersed in both science and esotericism, Archibald Cockren explores the alchemical path as a physical science and a journey of self-realisation. Reviving the practices and writings of early alchemists, Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored is a blend of original texts, commentary, and reflections, revealing the meanings behind the symbolic language and laboratory processes of occult practitioners.
First published in 1940, this unique work bridges the gap between ancient hermetic philosophy and the modern seeker’s quest for inner and outer refinement.
