The Alchemist… … is a conscientious searcher who observes the nature’s unfolding within the microcosm of his laboratory, through the reactions produced in his crucibles and balloons. But he also need to travel the celestial and terrestrial macrocosm in order to explore his inner world. This is how, on an blissful encounter in front of the gate of the philosopher’s garden, Mikael and Doc Faust, a timeless character, get to know each other. Together, they will walk along paths that will, step by step, open the door of alchemy to the reader. The journey of Mikael, as the Ariadne’s string in the maze, will lead us through the classical books, then to the Easter Island and Santiago de Compostella, and finally on the philosophy and quantum physics. This book will introduce the reader into the one and only true alchemical tradition, and and will accompagny him in his daily life, according to the principles that mother Nature has been teaching us for a thousand of years.
