- Frater Albertus Spagyricus (Dr. Albert Richard Riedel) born May 5,(1911–1984); founder of the Paracelsus Research Society in Salt Lake City, which later evolved into the Paracelsus College. Based on the Paracelsian concept of three essentials, Body, Soul and Spirit, Frater Albertus developed a system of teaching alchemical concepts using the spagyric technique of separation and cohobation. The unique gradated courses allowed students to explore aspects of the vegetable, mineral and animal kingdoms in an understandable and accessible way. After his death in 1984, the college ceased operations in the United States but continued to carry on the tradition in Australia. Frater Albertus had a profound effect on the way Alchemy and particularly the Spagyric method was disseminated and understood in the mid to late 20th century. His works were translated into many languages.

This is an actual thing someone wrote apparently. And it was written in the 60s even though the style makes it seem way older. But it seems it isn't a parody or something and the person who wrote it actually believed in it? I didn't actually read the whole thing or much of it at all but what I did read seemed like a load of pretentious waffle and didn't actually tell me anything as well as being hard to understand because of the style. Anyway the topic seemed vaguely interesting even if I show more don't actually believe in it obviously, it would have been fun to try some of the stuff in it for fun if I'd actually been able to understand any of it or bothered to read the whole thing, but I'm too lazy show less
Without question, the greatest practical introduction to laboratory alchemy. This book is not intended to be all that you will ever need to read to practice alchemy; rather, it provides philosophy and methodology necessary for the mastery of herbal alchemy, which is a necessary preliminary to any other alchemical field.
