The Hermetic and Alchemical Writings of Paracelsus–Two Volumes in One

Description

Delve into the mystical and scientific writings of Paracelsus with this captivating two-volume Kindle Edition. Written by Paracelsus himself, and complemented by Arthur Edward Waite’s expert analysis, this book explores the life and ideas of the father of toxicology. Born as Theophrastus von Hohenheim, Paracelsus was a Swiss physician, alchemist, lay theologian, and philosopher who revolutionized medicine and emphasized the importance of observation and experimentation. His works inspired the early modern medical movement, known as Paracelsianism. But Paracelsus was not only a scholar, he also had a prophetic gift, as seen in his ‘Prognostications’, which were studied by Rosicrucians in the 17th century.

Arthur Edward Waite, the renowned British poet and mystical scholar, brings his expertise to bear in analyzing Paracelsus’ writings and placing them in the context of the western occult tradition. Waite was a co-creator of the Rider-Waite tarot deck, and his systematic study of western occultism has left a lasting impact on the field.

With its insightful analysis and original writings, ‘The Hermetic and Alchemical Writings of Paracelsus–Two Volumes in One’ is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of medicine, the occult, or the intersection of science and spirituality. At the affordable price of $30.00, this book is an accessible window into the groundbreaking ideas of Paracelsus and the early modern medical movement inspired by his works.
