Alchemical Symbols Resources

[Awani]

A site that is good for the novice: Some Symbols in Books of Alchemy

I would also like to add this book: The Migration of Symbols by Goblet d'Alviella

Not a pure alchemy book per se, but relevant nonetheless!

The basics:

The first link was particularly nice!

I assume you are familiar with The Practical Handbook of Plant Alchemy (recently reprinted under the title Spagyrics)by Manfred Junius?! It's just that I thought I would recommend that as another source that contains a nice amount of alchemical symbols/characters in chapter 12.

In addition... when it comes to the more elaborate symbolism of alchemy, has anyone here ever studied the courses by Adam McLean? I purchased his first three symbolism CD Roms a few years ago as well as his introductory course on studying alchemical symbolism. I am personally very fond of it so I highly recommend it. But I would really like to hear what impression others have had from studying his symbolism course as well.

Best regards,

Tesposinus

Thanks Awani. Looks cool and helpful. Now I need this on a giant poster so I can burn these symbols into memory

I'm probably EXTREMELY late to the party on this one, but there is this:

Codes Of Alchemy, A Magic Symbol Reference

In case this link ever breaks, the book is called "Codes Of Alchemy, A Magic Symbol Reference Book"

It's just a basic symbol reference book. I don't think it goes deep into things like alchemical art (a subject which definitely eludes me).

The attached I think has a few more symbols than those in the OP

Can someone please identify this alchemical symbol:

 

[Christophorus]

Page 67 right side on top seems close.
If it's not in that book, it will be hard to find.

Hi,

Maybe this will be of help to somebody.

This is a extract from a french book, "Recueil de planhes sur les sciences et les arts"

I don't speak French, but the symbols are nice to have.

Cheers
