The book gives us an understanding of the history of alchemists true practitioners who unified experimentation with spiritual perfectionism. In Ancient Egypt it was practiced by priests who controlled the medicine and led religious rituals. Today the practice has fulfilled the most precious dreams of past practitioners by creating life and immortality and by transmuting substances into others.The author fills with book with not only historical facts but with an entertaining and reader friendly writing style that facilitates our understanding of the men researchers and thinkers usually always Christians who borrowed from ancient philosophies such as Hermeticism Gnosticism Pythagoreanism and the school of Jonia so as to create a transcendent vision of their discipline. Their efforts and experiments were no more than a material manifestation of their true and constant quest for inner illumination.
