ALCHEMISTIC PHILOSOPHY - Module 1 Manual
Learn alchemical philosophy and see how it evolved from its roots in ancient Egypt right up to its modern rebirth in the principles of quantum physics.
This hyper-history of alchemy is complimented by further readings on the philosophical basis of alchemy. The experiments in this module take place on the psychological and spiritual levels of your being and are extremely important to your success in this program. The goal is to develop the power of Alchemical Thinking, which takes place on multiple levels at once, and also ignite the Secret Fire of the alchemists within you. Without this Secret Fire of personal gnosis burning in you, you will have difficulty progressing in the final modules, since many of the later experiments and tests are directed towards this kind of direct knowledge. (Note: Enrolled students can download this module at no cost.) $45. Student Price: $19
  Module 1 Manual - $19


SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY - Module 2 Manual
This module attempts to bring all these principles alive within you so you can directly experience their validity. When practiced on the higher spiritual level, alchemy is a powerful force for the evolution of soul, which is the expression of the First Matter in us. By working in the inner laboratory of the mind, initiates learn alchemistic meditation and work with the Three Essentials to achieve transmutation. Your mystical training culminates, as you attempt to "ground" your newfound wisdom in the next module. (Note: Enrolled students can download this module at no cost.) $45. Student Price: $19

  Module 2 Manual - $19
EVERYDAY ALCHEMY - Module 3 Manual
This modules focuses on the creation of your own personal Philosopher's Stone, a guide and magical touchstone to transform all aspects of your life. Alchemy is the study of the forces of creation in the macrocosm of the universe. Once these principles are mastered, the individual (or microcosm) can utilize these same forces to transform and enhance his or her own life. You will discover that the health and wealth in your life are part of the "gold" of which the alchemists spoke. By this stage in the Work, you will begin to manifest the incorruptible state of consciousness and confidence that is the hallmark of the true Initiate. (Note: Enrolled students can download this module at no cost.) $45.

METALS & THEIR CORRESPONDENCES - Module 4  Manual
Learn about the archetypal nature of the metals and their hidden affect they have on every level of our lives. By actually working with the metals, the alchemist gains an intuitive understanding of their profound signatures. In that way, the archetypal or universal correspondences are much more easily grasped. These correspondences exist simultaneously on the physical, psychological, and spiritual levels of reality. By integrating the opposing forces in your own metallic temperament (or personality), you will gain entry to the "Greater Mysteries," in which you become a true Initiate into the deeper truths of which so few of us are aware.

PRACTICAL LABORATORY ALCHEMY - Module 5 Manual
This module focuses exclusively on basic physical techniques and chemical experiments. You will become familiar with the secret ciphers and alphabets of the alchemists, as well as understand the deeper meaning of alchemical symbols. You will actually perform experiments that demonstrate all the basic truths revealed to you in previous modules, including each of the Seven Steps of transformation. The overall goal behind combining spiritual and practical techniques is to use the tension created by these two opposite ways of looking at alchemy and fuse them into one holistic approach to the subject. (Note: Enrolled students can download this module at no cost.) $45. Student Price: $19
SPAGYRICS - Module 6 Manual
Learn to separate and recombine essences to prepare alchemically active substances, as you continue to refine and develop your techniques and intuition on all levels. Spagyrics is a way of separating and preserving the hidden qualities (signatures) of plants and minerals in elixirs, tinctures, and powders. The result are subtle yet powerful medicines free of the impurities normally associated with their gross material forms. By learning to make tinctures and elixirs and work only with essences, you will become healthier, mentally clearer, and spiritually stronger for the challenges of the Great Work ahead. The Guide to Alchemical Herbs and Foods and spagyrically cultivated Lemon Balm and other herbs used by alchemists are included with this module. (Note: Enrolled students can download this module at no cost.) $45. Student Price: $19

ALCHEMIST CERTIFICATION - Module 7 Manual
If you wish to continue your training in alchemy and have successfully completed the first six modules, you may enter Module 7, in which the secret of the First Matter and its transformation is the focus of instruction, and the adept will learn how to accumulate and manipulate this chaotic energy to attempt to change lead into gold on all levels on levels of the material, mental, and spiritual realms. As a true practicing Adept, you will be qualified to hold local alchemy seminars, classes, and personal consultations, as well as well as take on students of alchemy. You will also receive assistance setting up your own alchemical enterprise, such as making tinctures or jewelry, through the worldwide resources of the International Alchemy Guild.
