Description

The Emerald Tablet—an ancient document that contains the essence of the alchemical teachings—has had an important influence on many Western spiritual and religious traditions. Ostensibly concerned with turning base metals into gold, alchemy was in fact dedicated to transforming the lead of self into the gold of spirit. This brilliant history of alchemy traces its sources back to ancient Egypt, and presents alchemy as a useful, practical system of self- transformation. Each of the seven steps of alchemical transformation is explained, with hands-on techniques and exercises, treating alchemy as a living discipline for achieving a spiritual awakening. Read more

    • Updated Review - Great Interpretation
Format: Paperback
After reading more of this book, I want to say that it's refreshing to find someone who has an original perspective on Hermetic Sciences. I'm a scholar on Esoteric Wisdom, and in my experience, most contemporary authors format all their work off a generally accepted template, and after awhile, you hardly ever get a fresh point of view that has an innovative way of interpreting the same basic set of Hermetic texts. I really like Hauck's perspective and how he interprets the symbolic concepts involved. He maintains the poetic aspect that makes it inspirational and engaging, while bringing it down to earth and making the knowledge valuable in terms of utilizing it in your everyday life to grow and transform yourself to a higher level of understanding. We can only utilize what we first understand, and he writes with an intention of breeding a deeper understanding of what can be considered universal principles. I look forward to more of his work in the future. Well written, with great graphics, and the interpretations were very good, quite accurate, I only wish it had been written with a larger font size. The text is small, and my eyesight isn't real great, so it's a bit hard to read. But overall, great book! ... show more

    • Blowing my Mind....a second time! Blowing my Mind....a second time!
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Lauri Ann Lumby
The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation is blowing my mind and is blowing it a second time as I re-read my personal dog-eared and heavily highlighted, underlined and written in the margins copy of Hauck's brilliant masterpiece. This is THE book of all books on Alchemy....because it reveals alchemy at its core which is a process for personal transformation - supporting the reason we are indeed here as humans - to become fully self-actualized. This work has validated and concretized my own work, giving me the long-sought after name for what I have been doing and teaching for the past 20+ years - Christian Alchemy. Thank you Dennis for this exhaustive and comprehensive work. I am relishing my second read and look for to the third!

    • A Ton of Insight
Format: Paperback
The author has shared what seems like a lifetime of research/study into the meaning of both the enigmatic Emerald Tablet and the alchemists' use of symbolism in the personal development of the spirit/soul. I have read other books about alchemy and am by no means an expert; however, this book has helped me to understand the symbolism of the alchemists much better. I'm sure I could read this book ten times and continue to find it fascinating. ... show more

    • The Emerald Tablet is a Gem
Format: Paperback
First of all, discount the detractors of this excellent book! Whether you are simply surveying alchemical history and traditions or want a shelf reference book for your personal mystical endeavors, this is a highly useful work by a long-time student and master in the hermetic disciplines. These sorts of books require patience to assimilate and interpret, from allegory and metaphor to practical application. Bear in mind that as more ancient history is uncovered through archaeology and the process of human evolution is extended back along the timeline of our development, what might presently be unacceptable to some becomes validated in many unexpected ways by discovery of humanity's deeper past and its expanding inter-relational data base. Enjoy this read! Most of all, always, be a walking question mark in anything you read, see or otherwise experience. ... show more

    • It arrived in good conditions.
Format: Paperback
It arrived on time, I bought the paperback edition which is more than enough for me. The paper feels different, like a different type of material (whiter) compared to standard books, kinda fragile but it's ok, I will take care of it properly. Black and white images with proper resolution to be analized. Good addition to my personal collection though. Thank you! ... show more

    • The Emerald Tablet as a beginner
Format: Paperback
This is a great book for those just starting their alchemical path. Hauck has a deep knowledge of this subject and is offering a clarity that is not found in most books. He breaks things down with ease and is not shy to address the nuances between various areas. If you also adore this book, and you are looking for alchemical training, find his website-based courses. ... show more
