Based on an enormous amount of documentary evidence, Cracking the Philosophers’ Stone – Origins, Evolution and Chemistry of Gold-Making is undoubtedly a landmark in historical alchemy and chemistry studies.Īlchemy is not only the origin of systematic experimentation and chemistry but also the first attempt to create a cohesive science of consciousness. Now, anyone wishing to learn the wonders of the Philosophers Stone can do so here, learning not only its history and uses, but also, its recipe.
Until the publication of this book, those seeking knowledge on the Philosophers’ Stone had little choice but to seek out a living adept-alchemist or rediscover the secrets of the Philosophers’ Stone independently. This major study by LaPort and Gabrielsson is the first ever attempt to reconstruct the Philosophers Stone and its three main purposes as: a crucial element to crafting alchemical gold, silver and gems a cosmological model and monument of initiation into Neoplatonic, Hermetic and Gnostic mysteries and the Elixir of Life. Through detailed analysis of numerous alchemical texts, as well as secondary literature in Assyrian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Arabic, LaPort discovers numerous and incredible findings, and reveals them here. Although the stone was long thought of as myth or something impossible to recreate, LaPort proves skeptics wrong. Cracking the Philosophers’ Stone is the first serious treatment of the most influential substance in the history of alchemy.
