What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Simply put, this is a classic text on plant alchemy, or spagyrics, for the modern practitioner… . Anyone serious about learning alchemy needs to have a copy.” * Mark Stavish, director of the Institute of Hermetic Studies and author of The Path of Alchemy *
“What makes Junius’s book so special is that it is a practical primer on the subject. Traditional methods are presented as well as more modernized suggestions, but all within the strict confines of tradition… . Highly recommended.” * Cauldron Brasil, May 2007 *
If you’ve always been curious about the real nature of alchemy, this book will help you in that search. If you are looking for more holistic ways to heal, this book will supply many thought-provoking guidelines. It will be cherished by those already familiar with the subject matter, and represents a bold undertaking by its author.” * Barbara Bamgerger Scott, Curled Up With a Good Book, Oct 2008 *
“The word means ‘to draw out’ and ‘divide,’ a basic principle of alchemy. The techniques date back at least to Paracelsus and have been said to release powerful healing properties from plants.” * The American Herb Association, 24:4, February 2010 *
