On Alchemy

Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy

By: Brian Cotnoir

Narrated by: Brian Cotnoir

This accessible book contains everything you need to know to start practicing alchemy–the art of transmuting base metal into gold (whether practically or spiritually).

Alchemy is the art of transmuting base metal into gold–a laboratory process that also functions as a metaphor for spiritual transformation and creativity. This book contains all the information and skills you need to start practicing alchemy–to unite your inner spiritual work with your outer work, to decode the most complex alchemical texts, and if you wish, take up practical laboratory alchemy.

The book is aimed at all those who are excited about alchemy's potential for spiritually enriching their lives and art, as well as practicing alchemists who want the keys to the difficult texts to explore how inner work can be united with their outer practice.

Mind-blowing exercises include:

• The practice of geometry to purify the inner eye.
• The meditative practice of rehearsing a process from beginning to end to solve a problem.
• Observation exercises using alchemical images and processes
• Dreamwork to question the gods.

On Alchemy puts the conceptual tools and practices of alchemy into the hands of listeners, showing creators of all types how to use art-making as a spiritual path.

Great start in alchemy

It’s a bit short for me to use a whole credit but I really enjoyed the explanation. Great for beginners

Nice short book

Good review for someone who has read the more significant books on this subject. Brian presents some of the old topics in a new and creative way. Definitely a five star because of the clarity and the manner in which he has presented it.
