To me it seems like everyone who studies and talks about alchemy does not go further. It stays at the level of talking and reading about it. Pure intellectual speculation. Has anyone actually practiced it in recent times as a non larp, like did some experiments? Are there any other type of alchemists besides larper reconstructionists? I would be interested also in the reconstructivist larp stuff because at least they do something about it and not just read texts. Herbalism looks like something that people still do and I think its the only valid way of practicing alchemy today, but still someone pointed out in the thread the larp aspect of it.
I doubt anyone except historians of science like Lawrence Principe and Patrick Burensteinas have done actual alchemical work. Is there anything else to alchemy today besides intellectual speculation and looking at pretty pictures?

has anyone actually read the whole book? Is there anything to gain from reading this book?
Seems like you'd only get a more profound knowledge of Jung as a person, but nothing else.
