Concerning the Transmutations of Metals and of Cements

By Philippus Theophrastus Bombast of Hohenheim Called Paracelsus

Edited and annotated by Arthur Edward Waite

Quote of the Day

“The essence of this Art is in like manner a certain one thing which is stronger and more exalted than all other things, and is called the most powerful acid, because it changes gold into a clear spirit, without which there is neither whiteness, nor blackness, nor redness. When the spirit is joined to the body it becomes one with it; and yet again becomes a spirit, and is saturated with the spiritual and unchangeable tincture, and thus again by combination receives a bodily tincture which cannot be annihilated. If you place the body without the acid over the fire, it will be burnt and destroyed.”
