Alchemy Rediscovered & Restored -Archibald Cockren play online

Alchemy is an ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and protoscientific tradition practiced throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia, originating in Greco-Roman Egypt in the first few centuries CE.

Alchemists attempted to purify, mature, and perfect certain materials. Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" (e.g., lead) into "noble metals" (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent. The perfection of the human body and soul was thought to permit or result from the alchemical magnum opus and, in the Hellenistic and Western mystery tradition, the achievement of gnosis. In Europe, the creation of a philosopher's stone was variously connected with all of these projects.

Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored is a book by Archibald Cockren published in 1941. Cockren discussed not only the alleged history of alchemy, but also makes the claims that he had rediscovered and perfected the alchemical methods and that he had successfully created the philosopher's stone.
