It is with great excitement that we introduce the first volume of the 'Golden Dawn Alchemy Series', a collection of distinguished books on Alchemy written by leaders of the Golden Dawn Tradition.It has become well known that Alchemy is a key which opens some of the deepest aspects of the Golden Dawn Tradition and provides the richest symbol system known to describe the spiritual process involved. It is apparent that those trusted with the development of the Ritual and Teachings of the Golden Dawn were intimately familiar with the deepest mysteries of Spiritual Alchemy.E. J. Langford Garstin, V. H. Frater A.e.F., was a Cancellarius of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega during the second quarter of the 20th century. His first book, "Theurgy or The Hermetic Practice: A Treatise of Spiritual Alchemy" has been recently published by IBIS Press and is recommended as a companion volume to his second book, "The Secret Fire: An Alchemical Study" now published by the Rosicrucian Order of the Golden Dawn."The Secret Fire" begins the journey with the documentation of various instances in which the SECRET FIRE is described including the Bible and continues with the various words of the Alchemists and Rosicrucians leading up to one of the clearest unveilings of our SECRET FIRE found anywhere. Here is Alchemy, pure and simple.
