Julius Evola: Introduction to Magic - Paul Ferguson - 04-08-2025
"Some “cultivated” people will surely be taken aback by this simple Statement, in which we join the concept of alchemy with that of a “spiritual science.” Nowadays, they will say, we know very well what alchemy is: modern chemistry in its infantile and mythological state. Certainly it had its value in preparing the experimental method. It also arrived at a certain knowledge of chemistry, obtained fortuitously through all sorts of experiments made in pursuit of the chimera of “transmutation.”...Such, more or less, is the current opinion of alchemy: an opinion that flagrantly displays the progressivist mentality, which has no doubt that the light of true knowledge only began to shine today, with modern European civilization."
