Incredible visual resource

A collection of images reproduced from drawings, etchings, paintings, and engravings depicting various aspects of the alchemic philosophy during the 1500 and 1600 centuries. Could be used as a graphic design, textile, or interior design idea book for things dealing with the mystic, psychic world,

This book is heavy! It is a valuable resource book for everyone interested in medieval graphic, art, symbols. But those who look for a simple introduction to alchemy and mysticism should search somewhere else: The texts and excerpts are a bit confusing and not very structured. But still entertaining.

Very detailed account of the ideas and meanings surrounding alchemy and mysticism from the Hermetic Museum. This book gives detailed history of the iconography used in alchemy and mysticism and their relation to the history and science.
