Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored
Description
Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored is a book by Archibald Cockren, first published in 1941. It presents a dual exploration — tracing the historical roots of alchemy through figures like Nicholas Flamel, Basil Valentine, Paracelsus, and the Comte de St. Germain, while also detailing Cockren’s own claims of rediscovering the philosopher’s stone and the mythical medicinal elixir. Cockren, a British physician with expertise in metallurgy, biochemistry, and bacteriology, frames alchemy not merely as an archaic pseudoscience but as a profound synthesis of spiritual, medicinal, and material transformation. The work is divided into historical, theoretical, and practical sections. He recounts how ancient alchemists pursued the "seed of metals" and extracted vital essences, then walks the reader through a proposed laboratory approach to recreate these processes — explicitly including his own practical experiments and purported successes. The text concludes with reprints of foundational Hermetic works such as the Emerald Tablet (Smaragdine Tables) and the Golden Tractate of Hermes.
