Review: A must read! - This is a great book to better understand the overview of alchemy. A good place to be if you are interested in the ways of alchemy. Review: An Alchemical Masterpiece - As a neophyte to the Royal Art, I found this book to be exceedingly, in the words of Israel Regardie, worth it's weight in gold. If you've even a smidgen of interest when it comes to practical Alchemy, this book has all you need, as a beginner in the Royal Art, when it comes to the proper Spagryical operations. Alchemist's Handbook has all the information you're going to need to master the Prima Materia, using modern equipment. From how to collect various plant materials and how to prepare them, to the Astrological correspondences of plants and metals and the proper ciphers and glyphs, this book is perfect for the aspiring Alchemist. My only criticism is the lack of description when it comes to traditional, Alchemical apparatus and how to use them. Though, this will only be a concern with those of a more traditional mindset. Some books I recommend picking-up along with this book are Alchemical Guide to Herbs & Food, Alchemy Reference Guide, and A Time For Magick. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,613,421 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #865 in New Age Reference (Books) #7,771 in Divination (Books) #166,546 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 273 Reviews | ## Images ![Alchemist's Handbook: Manual for Practical Laboratory Alchemy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+abxu-UvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read! *by F***T on January 25, 2025* This is a great book to better understand the overview of alchemy.

Within a mere 124 pages, the author explains in detail the processes by which any would-be Alchemist may create herbal elixers. The process is simple and can be learned quickly and inexpensively. Mastering the Great Art that is Alchemy, however, takes significantly longer (I myself have been practicing for many years and still have not touched its surface). Frater Albertus does not, thankfully, fall into a deep and penatrating discussion of each elixer and its properties(of which there would be thousands), but rather explains how to create them and leaves the aspiring Alchemist to practice, study, ponder and create. In doing so, he insures that those who would like to venture into the Great Art have the capacity to learn it for themselves. --- ## 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.ie/products/3182320-alchemists-handbook-manual-for-practical-laboratory-alchemy](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/3182320-alchemists-handbook-manual-for-practical-laboratory-alchemy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
