This unique book aims to destroy modern misconceptions about alchemy. "If alchemy were nothing but a sham," writes Titus Burckhardt,
"its form of expression would betray arbitrariness and folly at every turn; but in fact it can be seen to possess all the signs of a genuine 'tradition,' . that is to say, an organic and consistent
doctrine, and a clear-cut corpus of rules." In these pages, Burckhardt relates alchemy to some of the world's great psychospiritual teachings.
Most especially, he discredits the false view of alchemists as primitive chemists who tried to change lead into gold. To the real alchemist, man himself is the dull lead that by a refining processi can become Gold of the Sun. This dazzling idea: is the key to true alchemy, and Burckhardt shows how it can open vast and unexpected spiritual horizons.
