A Thief's Guide to Alchemy is an occasional series of talks and workshops examining various aspects of alchemy. The series provides a quick over view and some of the tools needed to study the theory and practice of alchemy through primary sources, the laboratory, and the studio.
This incarnation of the series will focus on the Emerald Tablet. The Emerald Tablet, famous for its declaration "as above, so below," is a cornerstone text of alchemy. A new translation from the oldest known version of the Emerald Tablet will be used to introduce the fundamentals of alchemy. Whether an absolute beginner or an experienced practitioner, each will find something useful for their work. Each of the talks and workshop can stand on its own but taken as a whole
the talks build on each other and culminate with the workshop.
Using the Emerald Tablet as our guide and reference point, tonight's talk will review basic laboratory and inner methods
