The Alchemical Preparation of Vitriol

By Philippus Theophrastus Bombast of Hohenheim Called Paracelsus

Edited and annotated by Arthur Edward Waite

Quote of the Day

“Wherefore Hermes says, 'Sow your gold in white, flaky earth which by calcination has been made glowing, subtle, and volatile.' That is to say: Sow gold, i.e., the soul and quickening virtue, into the white earth, which by preparation has been made white and pure and freed from all its grossness. Thus natural gold is not the fermenting matter, but the philosopher's gold is the quickening ferment itself.”
