The Second Volume of `The Golden Dawn Alchemy' series, `Hermetic
Alchemy – Science and Practice' by Paul Foster Case is now available
on amazon.com and through bookstores everywhere. Note that a recent
publication of this material by Ishtar Publications only contained
the introductory chapters. Here for the first time in over 75 years
are Paul Foster Case's advanced aspects of the Alchemical Process,
the Twelve Stages of the Great Work, and practical instruction
publicly available to students:

From the Introduction:
When Paul Foster Case published this Magnum Opus in 1931, it
reflected a period during which he chose to write very clearly. Paul
Case later mentioned that it was a mistake to give out this
alchemical material "too easily". After preparing the outstanding
`Tarot Fundamentals' and `Tarot Interpretation' lesson series as well
as the `Tree of Life' courses, Paul created the `Great Work' course
but decided to write in a more cryptic manner with regard to Alchemy.
Students who have diligently studied the material and performed the
corresponding meditations in the preparatory lesson courses mentioned
above, are very well prepared to grasp the inner meaning of the
`Great Work' course...

This book will be of great value to those who have not had the
opportunity to pursue the B.O.T.A. lesson series through the `Great
Work' course but would like to study Alchemy from one of the greatest
leaders of the Golden Dawn in the 20th century; those who have
already progressed to Paul Case's `Great Work' course will find this
current volume of interest in tracing the evolution of his thought
and assisting them in understanding some of the more cryptic aspects
of the newer course.

From the Foreward:
This volume is an excellent resource for gaining a greater
understanding of Alchemy and the Hermetic tradition… Paul Foster Case
– a true Adept within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Alpha et
Omega) in America – worked for several years under the guidance of
Moina Mathers. Upon leaving the Order, he founded his own magical
organization called B.O.T.A. (Builders of the Adytum). Case wrote a
number of courses for the students in the B.O.T.A. and the material
in this book comprised an early version of one of these courses. Case
is known for communicating complex esoteric information and ideas in
a clear and precise manner. It is a pleasure to read Case's lesson
plan for cutting through the enigma of Alchemy, getting right to the
powerful heart of what Spiritual Alchemy is, and how it can be used
to benefit the magical life. Recently there has been a resurgence of
interest in the writings of Paul Foster Case and this book is an
excellent addition to the library of any Hermetic scholar. I am
looking forward to the next book in the `Golden Dawn Alchemy Series'
