By Stephen Hirtenstein and Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi
" In this first English translation of a core chapter from the famous Meccan Illuminations (al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya), Ibn 'Arabi comprehensively summarises all his major teachings on human perfectibility and true happiness. Using the imagery of alchemy and ascension, he gives the reader a unique insight into the spiritual journey by contrasting two ways of acquiring knowledge: the rational and the mystical. With an introduction to Islamic alchemy, the Hermetic tradition and the mysterious elixir, this book is an essential text for anyone interested in Sufism, Islamic spirituality or medieval alchemy."

Jabir ibn Hayyan and the Birth of Chemistry: Alchemy, Experimentation, Laboratory Science, and the Transformation of Matter
Clayton Louis Turnage (Author), Mobile Edge Marketing (Publisher), Virtual Voice (Narrator) Format: Audible Audiobook.
"For centuries, alchemists stared into furnaces and asked whether matter could be purified, perfected, and changed. Could lead become gold? Could minerals become medicine? Could nature’s hidden code be unlocked by fire, balance, and experiment?At the center of that ancient dream stands one of the most mysterious names in the history of science: Jabir ibn Hayyan, known to medieval Europe as Geber."

| Alchemical Imagination & Metaphors of Substance |

"Alchemy is popularly viewed as a secret way of turning worthless base metal into gold, and then a precursor to modern chemistry.
This is often taken as a metaphor for psychological development.
This book describes an innovative "third way" for both the education and exercise of an alchemical imagination that embraces both material matters and psychological insight: alchemy as lyrical poetics, or the intensive production of embodied metaphor.
Alchemy here is viewed as an immanent set of metaphor-driven "best practices" for indwelling complex and contradictory earthly matters in a sensual, artistic and humane manner. Or, again, it describes best psychotherapeutic practice."

"Zosimos of Panopolis, a Greek-Egyptian alchemist and Gnostic mystic who lived around the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th century AD, stands as one of the most influential figures in the history of alchemy and early chemistry. His works, though fragmented and often cryptic, provide invaluable insights into the philosophical and practical aspects of early alchemical thought. This essay aims to explore Zosimos’ life, his major contributions to alchemy, and the lasting impact of his ideas on the development of chemical science and esoteric philosophy."
