The Book of Lambspring was published in 1625 by Lucas Jennis in Frankfurt, Germany. It consists of a series of fifteen enigmatic plates.
Original inscription as follows:
The Book of Lambspring,
A Noble Ancient Philosopher,
Concerning the Philosophical Stone;
Rendered into Latin Verse by
Nicholas Barnaud Delphinas,
Doctor of Medicine, a zealous Student of this Art.
Each plate has a cryptic saying, followed by a discussion which describes the nature of the work.
Music by: Magic & Witchcraft, "Between Colours" from the Misty Shades CD

Thank you for posting those videos. They're beautiful. I've been practicing spirituality for 5 years now, and lately I have become interested in alchemy. I realize that attuning oneself to God and spiritual realms is essential for the realization of one's true self. I wonder what's your motivation for practicing the path of alchemy is, though. Does an action happening outside of oneself, like alchemical experiments, contribute to one's spiritual development?

Thank you for your kind remarks! I initially was drawn to the alchemical texts because of the beautiful and highly creative imagery, but as I read more and more of the texts, I found it to be a source of great spiritual insights.
