Theurgy means "the science or art of divine works." In alchemy, this process is called the "Great Work," which is the purification and exaltation of our "lower" nature by the proper application of esoteric principles, so that it may become united with its higher counterparts, whereby we may attain spiritual, and ultimately divine, consciousness.
Drawing on the teachings of the Egyptian, Greek, and Hebrew mystery schools and quoting extensively from important alchemical writers, Garstin details this process of purification. Students who are curious about alchemy but daunted by the body of its literature and its strange allegories will find this book to be an excellent introduction.
Garstin discusses source alchemical works and clearly explains what their esoteric symbolism means. With the information in this book, students of alchemy can then proceed to make a more informed exploration of the alchemical works and other writings of the Western Mystery Tradition.

It is with great excitement that we introduce the first volume of the ‘Golden Dawn Alchemy Series’, a collection of distinguished books on Alchemy written by leaders of the Golden Dawn Tradition. It has become well known that Alchemy is a key which opens some of the deepest aspects of the Golden Dawn Tradition and provides the richest symbol system known to describe the spiritual process involved. It is apparent that those trusted with the development of the Ritual and Teachings of the Golden Dawn were intimately familiar with the deepest mysteries of Spiritual Alchemy. E. J. Langford Garstin, V. H. Frater A.e.F., was a Cancellarius of the Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega during the second quarter of the 20th century. His first book, “Theurgy or The Hermetic Practice: A Treatise of Spiritual Alchemy” has been recently published by IBIS Press and is recommended as a companion volume to his second book, “The Secret Fire: An Alchemical Study” now published by the Rosicrucian Order of the Golden Dawn. “The Secret Fire” begins the journey with the documentation of various instances in which the SECRET FIRE is described including the Bible and continues with the various words of the Alchemists and Rosicrucians leading up to one of the clearest unveilings of our SECRET FIRE found anywhere. Here is Alchemy, pure and simple.

This is Alchemy, pure and simple. Garstin was a chief of an A.O. Temple and well versed in alchemy as this book indicates. Garstin was the first A.O. Chief in the 1930s to discuss Chakras and their effect, and he brought them into the periphery of the Golden Dawn teachings through their alchemical links. The Alchemical teachings here concentrate on the spiritual aspect of the work, Book `M', the Philosophical Mercury of the Rosicrucian manifestos. This book is a must for all those studying the Golden Dawn, its roots, its history and its teachings." --Pat Zalewski, author of the highly acclaimed `The Magical Tarot of the Golden Dawn'.
