"In April of 1651, the thirty-year-old Welshman Thomas Vaughan released what he said would be his last “discourse,” titled Lumen de Lumine, or a New Magical Light. It was also to be the key to his first, published the previous year and the subject of a protracted debate. Vaughan would continue to write books under the pseudonym Eugenius Philalethes (“well-born lover of truth”), but this new one would be unlike anything else he ever wrote.”

"Light in Alchemy is a much debated, as well as fascinating, topic. But few have understood what it’s really about. Since the greatest mistake alchemists can make is trying to learn the “how” instead of the “why”, we often find ourselves tied for life to only one of the innumerable paths and thus never arriving at the knowledge of the true foundations. Alchemists, be curious, don’t be stubborn!"

"In the world of grand promises and bold claims, the line between confidence and deception can blur all too easily. What begins as ambition can quickly spiral into illusion, and the pressure to maintain appearances grows heavier with every passing moment. In 1783, James Price, a chemist and self-proclaimed alchemist, found himself in such a predicament. Trapped in a web of his own making, he chose a tragic end over the humiliation of exposure."

A reviewer writes: "As a Freemason and a Chemist, the history and significance of Alchemy has long been a personal fascination. I believe I have read extensively on the topic and consider myself to be well informed. However, I wish this book had been available when I started my research. It could have saved me a lot of time and guided me on what was a meandering path without it. This text provides a succinct collection of pertinent information about Alchemy as it relates to Freemasonry."
