Hermetic Triumph Or The Victorious Philosopher's Stone (1740)

The Hermetic Triumph, also known as The Victorious Philosopher's Stone, is a book written by an anonymous author in 1740. The book is a treatise on alchemy, a medieval and early modern philosophical and protoscientific tradition that aimed to transform base metals into gold, find the elixir of life, and achieve spiritual enlightenment. The Hermetic Triumph presents a detailed and esoteric account of the alchemical process, which involves a series of stages or operations, such as calcination, dissolution, coagulation, and sublimation. The book also includes symbolic and allegorical illustrations, diagrams, and texts, which are meant to guide the reader through the labyrinthine and mystical world of alchemy. The Hermetic Triumph is written in a dense and obscure style, typical of alchemical literature, and requires a deep knowledge of philosophy, theology, and natural science to be fully understood. Despite its cryptic and elusive nature, the book has been influential in the history of alchemy and has inspired many alchemists, mystics, and occultists over the centuries.THIS 122 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Hermetic Triumph and the Ancient War of the Knights, by Anonymous .
