Mavric also shares his intricate theory of astral medicine and advocates a seasonal Hermetic diet designed to keep the humors of the body in equilibrium and prevent the onset of illness. In the final section of the book, Mavric focuses on the more advanced methods and techniques of Paracelsus, Helmont, and George Starkey, unraveling the mysteries of manufacturing alkalis, alkahests, and menstrua and divulging his own secret formula for a universal circulatum.Available now for the first time in English, this occult classic unveils the art of extracting spagyric essences to a modern audience while also bringing the science of herbal medicine back to its Hermetic roots.
