The Hunting Of The Green Lyon: An Alchemical Treatise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417917532)

The Hunting of the Green Lyon is an alchemical treatise written by Elias Ashmole. The book is a detailed exploration of the alchemical process of transmutation, which involves the transformation of base metals into gold. Ashmole draws on a range of alchemical texts and traditions to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of alchemy. The first part focuses on the theory and principles of alchemy, while the second part delves into the practical aspects of the alchemical process. The third part deals with the spiritual and mystical aspects of alchemy, exploring the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds. Throughout the book, Ashmole emphasizes the importance of the alchemist's inner spiritual journey, which he sees as an essential part of the transmutation process. The Hunting of the Green Lyon is a fascinating and insightful exploration of one of the most mysterious and enduring traditions in human history.THIS 16 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Theatrum Chemicum Brittannicum, by Elias Ashmole.
