Alchemy is the central pillar of Hermeticism, essential for both understanding and undertaking the magical work of the Western tradition, which is steeped in its symbolism. As such, the initiatory lessons of this opening volume comprise a valuable addition to the library and laboratory of alchemist, herbalist, magician or witch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Green Book\u003c\/em\u003e is concerned with plant alchemy, how to practically confect spagyrical Tinctures, Elixirs, the true Primum Ens, Plant Magisteries and the Quintessence. Also covered are the Plant Stone of Hollandus, the Plant Phoenix, the Quintessence of Blood and the Homunculus. It constitutes a complete programme of practical works from the occult laboratory of a modern day spagyricist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is often thought to be impenetrable, breaking the lances of those who challenge it. \u003cem\u003eThe Green Book\u003c\/em\u003e enables the reader to engage in the quest, building on key principles and cumulative experiments. The processes Heliophilus discloses follow the works of the alchemical tradition, and those of Paracelsus in particular, from whose extensive writings he has extracted the virtue, and adumbrated with his own working notes and photographic documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecipes and methods of working are given, and compared with those of Jean Dubuis, Mary Anne Atwood, Frater Albertus, Joseph Lisiewski, Van Helmont, Crollius, John French, Hollandus, Sibly and others, to indicate a path for the seeker to pursue in their own practic. The inclusion of copious folk magical receipts and sympathetic cures (including the rare weapon salve), in addition to the elixirs, tinctures, essences et cetera, make this volume a veritable treasure, showing both the philosophical theories and folk magical influences that informed his guide Paracelsus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe alchemical creations are produced in the laboratory and the field, extracted and perfected from the virtues of the plants growing in his native Shropshire in England. The third part of the book consists of a carefully selected Herbarium, along with guidance on the gathering and uses of plants as healing remedies for body and soul. It is a work that will potentise the philtres of the herbalist or witch and will give depth to the practice of the magic of the grimoires. \u003cem\u003eThe Green Book\u003c\/em\u003e will teach you the art of distillation, how to separate the pure from the impure, and instruct in the foundational laboratory experience that will allow us to unlock the higher kingdoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFree Media Mail Shipping within the U.S.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe ship all International orders via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/\"\u003ePriority Post\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eShipping discounts available on combined orders!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeedless to say, prices are subject to change without notice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe strive to ensure quality and satisfaction with every book sold.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYour privacy is very important to us!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe ship our items discreetly with no occult references on the package.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo view our Return Policy, Privacy Policy and\/or Terms and Conditions, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darkstarmagick.com\/the-legal-stuff\/\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarlet Imprint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67709558751477,"sku":"17678","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/9201\/4325\/files\/IMG_1007.jpg?v=1792099024","url":"https:\/\/darkstarmagick.com\/products\/alchemy-rising-the-green-book","provider":"Dark Star Magick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
