Holmes Publishing Group, 1995. This volume conveys the secret process for the unfolding of the Stone and the mysteries of philosophical geomancy. The plates of the "Trees of the Planets" have been restored from a British Museum manuscript and are reproduced in this book in their entirety for the first time. The use of gematria as a key to the hidden language of Alchemy is an original contribution to the field. The inter-textual notes are like a book within a book, and express hidden meanings beyond the usual alchemical jargon. The "pattern" of this work is drawn from the work, Rosicrucian Secrets, which has been issued in a number of different editions over the years, but the notes following within the text (different type face) are the real value of the special publication.
