Brian Cotnoir | Practical Alchemy, Alchemical Philosophy, & The Orum Potibile
Frater Albertus, The Alchemist's Handbook and Esoteric Research
The publication of The Alchemist's Handbook by Frater Albertus in 1976 is identified as a pivotal moment for modern practical alchemy. Cotenoir describes his time working at Weiser's Bookstore, which he likens to an "underground Library of Alexandria," where he studied rare esoteric texts. He explains his current process of creating zines to share "useful" research and side topics with younger practitioners.
