It's completely understandable if you're in the dark about alchemy. It has been practiced around the world and linked to various religious rites, scientific experiments, and, of course, magic - a series of beliefs and disciplines that defy categorization and definition.

- The basic principles of alchemy - including the Three Essentials that are present in all things
- The alchemist's code - ciphers, signs, symbols, sacred geometry, and more
- A list of tonics, elixirs, and other alchemical medicines
- The three stages of alchemical transformation
- The meaning and power of the Four Elements - Fire, Water, Air and Earth - and the Fifth Element, the Quintessence
- A look at the relationship between alchemy and science
- An exploration of the significance of the Philosopher's Stone
- A behind-the-scenes tour of a medieval alchemist's laboratory

Critic reviews

"Do not let the concept of Complete Idiot's Guide fool you. Hauck... reduces many of the most complex subjects in alchemy to easy-to-understand concepts and definitions..... What Dennis Hauck does... is give the long-time student and the new seeker the basics to understand alchemy."
