Sinossi
L'alchimia è strettamente connessa con l'ermetismo e la tradizione ermeticoalchemica riguarda essenzialmente un insegnamento iniziatico esposto usando il simbolismo di metalli di trasmutazioni dei metalli. Quest'opera espone in modo sistematico, con costanti riferimenti alle fonti, la tradizione ermetico-alchemica secondo questo aspetto essenziale. Il libro si articola in due parti: la prima tratta delle dottrine e del simbolismo, la seconda espone i procedimenti operativi i quali, nei termini di una scienza a suo modo positiva, proseguono il fine essenziale di una trasmutazione e di una integrazione dell'essere umano.

My standards were set a little high because i thought the picture was Leggi tutto
It's terse, it's dense, perhaps the translation could have been a bit simpler, but wow, what a unique perspective on the Royal Art and Western Esoterica. While most of the material on Alchemy and Hermetism is filtered through the eyes of Anglo-Britain, Evola gives the Southern European. Latinized pe Leggi tutto
Nothing really groundbreaking here, but it is Evola so I had to read it.
A fascinating, although still obscure and infinitely unpackable look at Hermetico-Alchemical thought as a metaphysical system. The book invites multiple readings as the early crash course in Alchemical symbolism only really begins to do work later, and so a lot of revisiting is required to fully app Leggi tutto
