I absolutely enjoyed this book and was fascinated at the information it contains. Alchemy and consciousness. I just have to recommend for everyone. Its written in French, but here is the bio translated.

Truth Emerging from the Hermetic Well,
or the True Solar and Lunar Quintessence,
the Radical Balm of All Being, and the Origin of All Life


The subject we treat is commonly regarded as a fable and an illusion of this age, like a fair and flattering chimera devised to amuse the mind. The Sages and Philosophers have concealed their knowledge with great care, either out of jealousy or out of prudence, because of its importance and its consequences for the common people.

The Sages of the ancient Commandment of Solomon took such precautions to veil the Science through ingenious subtleties that it is no wonder this mysterious truth has remained unknown throughout the world, or has been taken for a chimera; and that their enigmatic writings have caused them to be treated as impostors. This gave rise to the saying of Democritus, that Truth was hidden in a deep well, both with regard to secrecy and as an allusion to Nature, which contains within herself the unique subject of Wisdom.

It is therefore only in favor of the true Children of Science that we have resolved to write this small Treatise, in order to reveal to them, according to the expression of Philalethes, the Arcana of Universal Medicine, of Alchemy, and of Natural Philosophy, by which they shall be called to the Truth.
