For a deeper understanding of the philosophy I suggest "Sorcerer's Stone," by Hauck. And for a more guided introduction to the subject, especially for students with a background in other schools of magick, I suggest, "The Path of Alchemy," by Stavish. These three books I have called (semi jokingly but still in truth) the "Holy Trinity of Modern Alchemy." They compliment one another perfectly, each focuses in a slightly different manner and the combined information is a very nice place to start your journey in preparation for the actual process. Read all three, make sure you understand them well, and then slowley and with utmost care begin your Great Work! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #181,912 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #81 in General Chemistry #426 in Spiritualism #451 in New Thought | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (681) | | Dimensions | 5.9 x 0.5 x 8.9 inches | | Edition | 3rd Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0892541504 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0892541508 | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2009 | | Publisher | Ibis Press | ## Images ![Real Alchemy: A Primer of Practical Alchemy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815F2Kj4h5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the price *by M***S on April 10, 2025* Great read and introduction to alcamy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ascendng the Hermetic Pillars. *by E***T on May 13, 2007* The 3 traditional pillars of the Hermetic arts are Alchemy, Astrology, and Qabalah.

His other book has more information on different alchemy processes he has found in his extensive research, but this book is perfect for the beginning student of alchemy. As someone who has researched alchemy for 12 years, I know a great deal about which methods work, and which ones were false information written in alchemy books by charlatans of the time. Bartlett did a good job of keeping out the bad info, and only telling the reader about the correct methods. The book won't teach you a quick and easy method to make the true Philosopher's Stone, but it does explain every other area of alchemy in great detail, such as plant extracts and tinctures. I always recommend Bartlett's book to anyone I talk to about alchemy who has never heard of it, or hasn't studied it well enough, but has the desire to know more. It's a perfect starting point that I wish would have been available to me when I was first learning about alchemy; an essential read for any student of the art. Bartlett is a good man, and through email conversations we were able to teach each other quite a lot, and he even posted a link to my alchemy site on his website, because I also write alchemy books myself. Most people who write alchemy books consider themselves masters of alchemy and won't let anyone teach them something new, because they are convinced they know everything already. Buy this book, and I guarantee you will not regret it! Also if you are looking to see proof of transmutation and the Philosopher's Stone, do some research on Patrick Riviera and "France 3". He was on a French TV show in early 2009 and demonstrated to the entire country how to make the stone and did a transmutation of mercury to gold, which was then immediately taken to a lab and assayed to prove it was really gold. There is no debating the matter any further -- transmutation is a reality, not just a metaphor for changing the human mind into gold. ## Frequently Bought Together - Real Alchemy: A Primer of Practical Alchemy - Practical Alchemy: A Guide to the Great Work - The Alchemist's Handbook: A Practical Manual (Weiser Classics Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3182317-real-alchemy-a-primer-of-practical-alchemy](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3182317-real-alchemy-a-primer-of-practical-alchemy) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
