Alchemie

In writing this book, we aimed to gain a clearer understanding of what alchemy is and what its practice entails through the analysis of recognized authors. We address all aspects of alchemical work, starting from the raw materials, their preparation, the processes throughout the entire procedure, and culminating in the final completion of the alchemical work. We cite various passages from different authors, many of which are unpublished in Portuguese, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. We hope that in this way we have provided a deeper insight into alchemy and its practice, and that we have given readers who wish to delve deeper the opportunity to follow their own paths.
