Summary: Join special guest, Golden Dawn International Imperator, G.H. Frater L.E.S., David Griffin as we start our series on Hermetic Alchemy. Tonight we begin with an analysis of common misconceptions about Alchemy and contrast these with an understanding of Alchemy from an initiatic perspective. We will focus tonight on the question: "Is Alchemy a psychological process, a metaphysical speculation, or an age-old spiritual practice?" Hopefully after tonight's podcast, listeners will have a better understanding of the actual role of Alchemy in the Golden Dawn and the Hermetic tradition. Your host is Julia Sherred.
