There are so many distinct approaches to alchemy, that one finds a multiplicity of articles, short studies and essays, each adopting different perspectives. I have here divided the listing of articles under a number of different approaches. Some may span the different divisions or be somewhat beyond categorisation, but these categories should help us narrow our search and find an article relevant to our particular approach.
