Study Course on the Interpretation of alchemical symbolism
by Adam McLean (Provided on CD-Rom) This is a course of instructions and exercises on the interpretation of alchemical symbolism. It focuses entirely on European alchemy. Lessons are
in the form of Adobe Acrobat files including text
and much graphic material. The lessons are self-contained,
though it will be best if students
read more widely and also build up their own library of
alchemical emblems on which to develop their work. This
is not a correspondence course and students should not
expect me to be able to write to them individually on
particular matters, as regrettably I just do not have time to
enter into individual correspondence.
If you have any questions before you purchase the course please email Adam McLean alchemy@dial.pipex.com
