About Alchemy Texts

Gregory of Nyssenus: “that the good delight to impart their knowledge to others, because it is the greatest joy to them to be useful.”

Who Are We?

This website hosts the largest available archive of English texts on Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Theosophy, Astrology, Astronomy, Kabbalah or Qabalah and various occult and esoteric topics. The texts are presented in English translation, and whenever possible, in their original language or in dual-language format.

We went live on May 28th, 2023. Originally intended for personal research and study, the site was created to allow others to explore and research in peace. In its first year of operation, alchemy-texts received approximately 300,000 hits.

Recognizing that people often have limited time, we began creating audiobooks, allowing them to listen while working, relaxing, or engaging in other activities. For some, reading can be challenging, making listening a more accessible option. As Bernard Trevisan once said, "I was then 62 years old and upwards" emphasizing how different methods can suit different stages or needs in life.

The texts available here are either original scans from books and articles that are clearly in the public domain, material already available elsewhere on the Internet, or content included in printed anthologies under fair use conditions.

Some of these texts were once available online but have vanished due to the closure of the websites where they were hosted. This highlights the importance of an archive that preserves and organizes this material in a persistent location.

These texts are essential for the study of alchemy, serving as a vital connection to the past. Previously confined to academic libraries for decades, we have now made them freely accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

We encourage you to email us regarding any typographical or factual errors you find in files at alchemy-texts. If you spot an error, please include the URL and a few lines of context to help us accurately identify and correct the issue.

While every effort has been made to accurately reproduce the texts here, none of the texts or translations are officially endorsed by any specific religious body or institution. We welcome any feedback regarding factual or transcription errors.

Some of the material on this site may be copyrighted. We hope that copyright holders will permit these texts to be shared here in the public interest.

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”

Quote of the Day

“Wherefore it behoves thee to resolve the Body into a subtle Metallick Spirit, and afterwards to congeal and fix, retain and incerate it, that it may flow before it tinge. For Gold does Colour nothing besides itself, unless first its own Spirit be extracted out of its own Belly; and it be made Spiritual.”

Bernard Trevisan
