"The discourses are written in a down-to-earth style that is direct and easy to understand, yet evoke a level of wisdom in me that I never expected. I started out just curious about alchemy and now these teachings are the light of my life." - Albert Wojekowski (Pittsburgh, PA USA)

"I had no idea what was involved in making tinctures and elixirs. Now I realize the power behind alchemical medicines and understand how to use them. These preparations tap into the deepest parts of nature. And now I am learning how to make them myself and tailor them to my own special needs." - Walter Dunninger (San Francisco, CA USA) 

"The courses help me shift my attitude towards life in a way that opens doors and helps me grow. When I sit down and read this material, even though I am doing it on a modern computer, I feel that I am in touch with ancient and sacred knowledge." - George Montclef (New York, NY USA)                            . . . more feedback

Program Modules

     The work in the program takes place on all three levels of reality (the physical, the mental, and the spiritual) and includes proprietary manuals, original texts, portfolios of original alchemical drawings for meditation, reference guidebooks, guided audio meditations, instructional videos, practical experiments, and complete instructions on how to prepare your own tinctures and elixirs. Learn how to capture the life force and demonstrate esoteric principles in the privacy of your own home!

      The program consists of seven modules. In Module One (Alchemistic Philosophy), you study alchemical philosophy and see how it evolved from its roots in ancient Egypt to the present time. This history 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. The goal is to develop an Alchemical Attitude, which takes place on multiple levels at once and ignites the Secret Fire within you. Module Two (Spiritual Alchemy and Perfection of the Soul) brings all the philosophic principles of Module One alive within you, so you can directly experience their validity by developing your meditative skills. Module Three (Using Alchemy in Everyday Life) focuses on the creation of your own personal Philosopher’s Stone, a constant guide and magical touchstone to transform all aspects of your life.

     Your apprenticeship continues, as you attempt to “ground” your newfound wisdom in Module Four (The Metals and Their Correspondences). Here you will discover the archetypal nature of the metals and their hidden affect on every level of our lives. 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 reality of which so few of us are aware. Module Five (Practical Laboratory Alchemy), on the other hand, will focus exclusively on the physical techniques and alchemical experiments. You will become familiar with the secret ciphers and alphabets of the alchemists, as well as understand the meaning of alchemical symbols. You will actually perform simple experiments that demonstrate all the basic truths revealed to you so far. In Module Six (Spagyrics: Signatures and Healing), you learn to identify and separate essences to prepare alchemically active substances. By learning how to work with only the three primary essences of the subject at hand, you will become healthier, mentally clearer, and spiritually stronger for the challenges of the Great Work ahead.

     If you wish to continue your training after successfully completing the first six modules, you may enroll in Module Seven (Alchemist Certification), in which you discover your personal vision in alchemy, and how you will apply it in the real world. You are certified to become a paid instructor, lecturer, therapist, or practicing alchemist making tinctures, oils, and elixirs for sale to the general public. Includes certificate and license to practice alchemy, as well as assistance in setting up your practice.
