I would have loved to have found this book when I was young. And in a way, I've been writing it practically since I first learned about alchemy, given that at one point in history the search for potable gold was as renowned and important as the search for the Philosopher's Stone. But they were two separate paths. I wish I had known this when I was exploring the pamphlets, pseudo-recipes, and allegories of alchemy. The journey has been long, but in this book I can finally show where one begins and the other ends, how to identify what is alchemy, or spagyrics, or archimy, for the creation of Potable Gold or the Elixir of Longevity. To leave nothing to the imagination—except for the workings of actual metallic alchemy—in this book the reader will find recipes, precise instructions on how I created many potable golds, the logic behind them, the alchemical concepts on which they are based, and which is the best and safest, in my view. At the same time, I decipher the Mutus Liber to understand the salt that affects gold in the penultimate plate, and in doing so, many concepts presented throughout the book will come to fruition. This book is not theoretical; it is profoundly practical and brimming with images that accompany each procedure.
