Alchemy & Mysticism - A journey through art

Updated: May 15

I love this Taschen volume. I see in these pages evidence that even when partly instructional or diagrammatic, to approach the opus through creation of imagery with sincerity of intention in one's heart, is an act of transmutation. Mysticism and alchemy approached through art is a truly fascinating area, and has been at the heart of my own work from the beginning.



Cover of "Alchemy & Mysticism" by Alexander Roob. Features two figures; one sits with wings, the other stands in a robe, against a mystical backdrop.

Alchemy illustration with two angels holding a vial under a sun, and two figures kneeling by a furnace. Text: "Opus Magnum: Dew."

Book page with two vintage illustrations. Top shows a skeleton with two figures and text reading "Putrefactio." Bottom depicts skeletons with birds above. Text along the side is about transformation and resurrection.
