"The Hermetic Tradition: Symbols and Teachings of the Royal Art" by Julius Evola
Inner Traditions | 1995 | ISBN: 0892814519 9780892814510 | 238 pages | djvu | 3 MB

Drawing from sources throughout the Western esoteric tradition, Evola shows that alchemy is a universal science of transformation. First published in 1931 in Italian. This is the first English translation. Draws from a host of sources in the Western esoteric tradition–works on theurgy, magic, and gnosticism from neoplatonic, Arab, and medieval sources.

This important survey of alchemical symbols and doctrines sets forth the mysterious worldview and teachings of the practitioners of the "royal art.
Author demonstrates the singularity of subject matter that lies behind the words of all adepts in all ages, showing how alchemy–often misunderstood as primitive chemistry or a mere template for the Jungian process of "individuation"–is nothing less than a universal secret science of human and natural transformation.
