The Alchemy Web Site

The Alchemical Translations Project

In 2022, Adam McLean embarked on project to translate early printed alchemical books from Latin, French and German into English. He wanted to make the treasures of alchemical writings available to the wider English speaking audience as inexpensive papaerback editions. Nearly 200 have been created so far, covering all styles of alchemical writings, practical processes, allegories, philosophical, spiritual, among others. This opens up the ideas and imagery of the early alchemists, previously unavailable in English.
A full list can be found on the Alchemical Translations page and can be purchased through Amazon in your own country to reduce your costs.
New titles are posted on Adam's Facebook page

The Alchemy Web Site
   Five gigabytes currently online of information on alchemy in all its facets. Divided into over 2700 separate topics and providing tens of thousands of pages of text, over 4000 images, over 300 complete alchemical texts, extensive bibliographical material on the printed books and manuscripts, numerous articles, introductory and general reference material on alchemy. This is essentially a reference library on the topic of alchemy.
   This site is organised by Adam McLean, the well known authority on alchemical texts and symbolism, author and publisher of over two hundred books on alchemical and Hermetic ideas.
   Alchemy is a complex subject with many different interconnected aspects. Many people still only think of the quest of the philosophers' stone to change base metals into gold. On this web site you will be able to explore the riches of alchemical texts, some of which are wonderful works of allegorical literature, delve into its amazing, beautiful and enigmatic symbolism, and ponder its underlying hermetic philosophy, which holds a picture of the interconnection of the Macrocosm and Microcosm.
   This website is so complex and extensive that it can take some time to thoroughly explore all the sections. Clicking on the buttons below will allow exploration of the major sections of the alchemy web site.
