In the history of the Western esoteric tradition, few individuals have attained the level of knowledge and insight possessed by the great alchemist Paracelsus. This collection of his essential writings on the art and science of alchemy is edited by the leading scholar of esotericism A. E. Waite.

Most significant in Volume II are a description of the Tria Prima and the correspondence of alchemy with astrology. It also contains Paracelsus’ major work the Archidoxies, treating on the quintessence, the microcosm, health and alchemical lore, as well as other writings on the philosophers’ stone and longevity.
