Secrets Reveal’d: The True Ancient Method of the Philosopher’s Stone
In the history of alchemy, no voice speaks more clearly and faithfully than that of Eirenaeus Philalethes. His 17th-century masterpiece, Secrets Reveal’d: An Open Entrance to the Shut Palace of the King, stands apart from all other writings for its unmatched clarity, authenticity, and authority. Here, the true ancient method for creating the Philosopher’s Stone is openly revealed—not hidden behind obscure symbols, but laid out for the worthy seeker.

Philalethes writes not from speculation, but from firsthand knowledge. He attained the Stone in his youth, and he shares the work’s secrets with the sincerity of one who knows. His text faithfully preserves the true Great Work of the ancients, aligning with the sacred practices of Egypt itself.

Modern historian Laurence Gardner, in his important work Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark: Amazing Revelations of the Incredible Power of Gold, confirms that Secrets Reveal’d describes the very same process the ancient Egyptians used to produce "mfkzt"—the white powder of gold. This divine substance, lost to the world for thousands of years, is the real Philosopher’s Stone: a transformation of gold into a living, spiritual elixir capable of wondrous powers.

Philalethes teaches that true alchemy is not superstition nor fable. It is the perfection of Nature itself, accomplished by the union of properly prepared Mercury and pure Gold, matured by the correct regimen of fire. It is the physical resurrection of dead gold into a spiritual body, just as the ancients once knew. His testimony is a bold challenge to the vanity and ignorance of the world, and a call back to true wisdom.

This is more than a treatise on metallurgy—it is a prophecy, a spiritual manifesto. Philalethes foretells a coming time when gold and silver will lose their false idol status, and mankind will once again value virtue, knowledge, and divine truth above all else. In this work, he offers a key to that future.

Secrets Reveal’d is the clearest, most trustworthy guide to the true Alchemical Art ever written. It is the open gate to a sacred science lost since the glory days of Egypt—an invitation to those brave enough to seek what was once the highest treasure of kings and sages.
