Tables of Alchemical Symbols and Gematria Second Edition

by Philip N Wheeler

Overview

This book is an essential reference for all students of alchemy. Students are often presented with archaic symbols when studying the works of ancient and modern alchemists. In this book over 450 alchemical symbols are presented in clear, high-resolution form, organized alphabetically with many cross references. The second part of the book contains a dictionary of basic Gematria. For those desirous of seeking possible hidden meaning in the alchemistical writings through the Qabalah, the Hebrew of key alchemically-oriented words is presented along with the numerical equivalence. Finally, a short Glossary of Latin Terms of interest to students of alchemy is presented. https: //ramsalchemy.jimdo.com You should buy the R.A.M.S.

About the Author

Mr. Wheeler is the editor and partial translator of this version. His interest in alchemy started 40 years ago with the study of books on alchemy from various booksellers, and by first obtaining the tincture of lemon balm in 1970 in a small home laboratory. Slowly learning about the subject, he began requesting titles from the Interlibrary Loan Service at the University of Virginia. It was through this service that he discovered The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony and many other texts. Through bookseller inquiries, he came upon the Paracelsus College in Utah and immediately subscribed to their journals Parachemy and Essentia. It was through Parachemy that he made first contact with Hans Nintzel in the late 1970's and immediately struck up a lasting friendship. He became a member of R.A.M.S. and began helping Hans with his very focused work in preparing valued alchemical manuscripts for distribution as well as participating in modern alchemical experiments such as detailed in The Betty Story by Philip N. Wheeler.
