In ancient times, human beings had a sense of the divine filling all things. At a certain point in history, this sense vanished, leaving human beings in a world of apparently lifeless matter. It was at this precise moment in time, says Rudolf Steiner, that the occult science of alchemy first came into being. Through alchemy, with its techniques of penetrating the hidden depths of the world, human beings could rediscover the divine sense they had lost, and along the way learn much more that was hidden about themselves and their place in the Universe. This book contains three intriguing lectures on alchemy, given by Rudolf Steiner. Their themes are: ‘Alchemy and the Rise of the Modern Mysteries’, ‘Alchemy and Consciousness’ and ‘Alchemy and Archangels’.
