Hermetic Art

An initiatory and practical guide to creative alchemy

A never-before-translated occult classic that brings the science of herbal medicine back to its Hermetic roots

• Examines the foundational texts and principles of Hermeticism and alchemy, showing how they offer a foundation for a psycho-spiritual creative practice
• Takes the reader on a Hermetic journey through each of the seven traditional planets, offering meditative discourses that speak directly to the intuitive soul
• Provides examples from traditional alchemical art and the author's own intricate esoteric paintings

This important survey of alchemical symbols and doctrines sets forth the mysterious worldview and teachings of the practitioners of the "royal art." One of the leading exponents of the Hermetic tradition, Julius Evola demonstrates the singularity of subject matter that lies behind the words of all adepts in all ages, showing how alchemy–often misunderstood as primitive chemistry or a mere template for the Jungian process of "individuation"–is nothing less than a universal secret science of human and natural transformation.
