Within its lavishly illustrated pages, Heliophilus takes us on an alchemical quest that follows the Sacred Fountain of the alchemists, through the great monarchical tributaries of Nature nurtured and nourished by the very streams and rivers that flow through the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms. From these kingdoms the alchemists drew their liquors, menstruums, spirits and lixiviums, and by doing so were able to calcine, precipitate, dissolve and sublime their subjects; reduce them to their first matter; and separate their philosophical principles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Watkins Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58137978896758,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/0635\/6656\/files\/IMG_5887.jpg?v=1782227358","url":"https:\/\/shop.watkinsbooks.com\/products\/alchemy-rising-the-white-book-deluxe-edition-by-heliophilus","provider":"Watkins Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
