Alchemy: The Art of Transformation
Jay Ramsay (1997) 221pages

Jay Ramsay has written a luminuous and wise guide to the mysteries of soul and to images and texts of alchemy which explore these mysteries, extending an invitation to us to 'visit the interior of the earth' - that unknown territory that is both within and around us. Alchemy is the key, lost for centuries, that gives us the way to reconnect with the soul, ...No one can write about alchemy who is not living it and no one can pass on his or her knowledge and insight who has not walked the difficult path of self-discovery. A guide is not someone who has arrived, but someone who accompanies us as we search for the treasure and who has experienced something of the 'darkness darker than darkness' and the meaning of the 'wondrous stone'. - from the Foreword by Anne Baring (Thorsons)

Alchemy: The Secret Art
Stanislas Klossowski de Rola (1973) 128pages

Much more than the art of turning base metals into gold, alchemy is a system of cosmic symbolism which can best be understood as a means of achieving one-ness with the world. The alchemist learns how to create within a sealed vessel a model of the universe or of human consciousness, in which the opposing complementary forces symbolized by Male and Female, Sulfur and Mercury, Earth and Air, Fire and Water, attain the perfect synthesis of which gold is the emblem. A title in the Art and Imagination series, with 193 illustrations, 33 in colour. (Thames & Hudson,1992)
