HERMETIC TRADITION

From the editor: Translated into English for the first time, this important survey of alchemical symbols and doctrines lays bare the mysterious world­view and teachings of the practitioners of the "Royal Art." One of the leading exponents of the hermetic tradition, Julius Evola draws from a host of sources in the Western esoteric tradition-works on alchemy, theur­gy, magic, and mythology from Neoplatonic, Arab, Gnostic, and medieval sources-to demonstrate the singularity of subject matter that lies behind the words of all adepts in all ages. He shows 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.

The first part of The Hermetic Tradition outlines the symbols and teachings of the Art, while the second part is concerned with the techniques and effects of the practice. Throughout the exposition of this sacred tradition the reader is encouraged to listen with the "ear of the heart"; a leap of con­sciousness is required to leave our time-bound and analytical world and enter the timeless realm of nature's continuous creation.
