How to Become an Alchemist

Before you is a translation of a unique and rare work by the French occultist and alchemist (as well as hyperchemist) François Jollivet-Castelot, whose interest only grows over time. François moved in a certain circle that is commonly referred to as the "occultists of the Beautiful Era," but he always stood out for his modernist position and open practice of disputed alchemy. François called himself a neo-alchemist. According to Georges Riche and Jacques Sadoul, he was an arch-alchemist, and according to André Savoret - a hyperchemist. Jollivet-Castelot was always characterized by his openness; he published his works and research as fully as possible. Still, some works remained in the form of internal publications of certain Rosicrucian groups, secret journals, and experiment records. This book is a true find for those who want to understand the world of new, advanced alchemy of the 19th century. Who wants to immerse themselves in the realities of neo-alchemists, look into their notes, their library, their laboratories, view their tools, materials, recipes, and much more!
