The Science of Alchymy

W. Wynn Westcott

2/5 ( ratings)

THE SCIENCE Of ALCHYMY is a short treaty in which Sapere Aude defines alchemy in clear terms. Sapere Aude is a pseudonym of William Wynn Westcott, one of the founders of the Golden Dawn. The early Golden Dawn had a distinct alchemical curriculum, reminiscent of the Gold und Rozenkreuz. Westcott proposes that Alchemy has two aspects: the simply material, and the religious. The dogma that Alchemy was only a form of chemistry, is untenable by anyone who has read the works of its chief professors. The doctrine that Alchemy was religion only, and that its chemical references were all blinds, is equally untenable in the face of history. This book is as much true today as it was at the time of its original publication in 1893.
