When I wrote Fluid Condensers: Unlocking the Mysteries of Gold, Alchemy, and Magick, I took influence from a wide variety of sources—many of which are freely available online thanks to websites like archive.org. As promised, here’s a digital listing of all the sources I used, including links to where you can either read or purchase for yourself.
