A Second Paramount Work of Fulcanelli (9/9 people found this helpful)

"Dwellings of the Philosophers" (Les Demeures Philosophales) was the second and the last known work of Fulcanelli as first published in 1929. This two-volume/500-plus-page book consisted of further information on classical architecture and alchemy than his first work, "Le Mystere des Cathedrales."

In this work, Fulcanelli used a unique method to which differs from the masters before him by the means of scattering the clues or pieces throughout this book. And, it is truly up to the sincere seeker to discover these pieces and complete the puzzle of the great secret. A disciple of Fulcanelli, Eugene Canseliet, mentioned this "puzzle" in his first preface to this work. The means of discovery is highly important to Fulcanelli because he would see who is sincere and who is not sincere during the process of discovery. Such secrets are not for everyone.

Fulcanelli, a Great Master Alchemist of the 20th century. He is also the most mysterious figure of the 20th century, whose real name was unknown until the recent ground-breaking work ("Fulcanelli: His True Identity Revealed") by Patrick Riviere, who was the student of Eugene Canseliet, a disciple of Fulcanelli himself.

To the truth seekers, I would recommend this book as part of your search, either in history, mystery, ancient arts, gothic, or alchemy. And, to the minds of curiosity and researchers, I would recommend this book as well for your keen eyes as you go through the ancient buildings seen in this book and the great symbolism that lies within. The stones in these walls as mentioned in this book give the most accurate truths than any written historical documents.

The ticket to wisdom, health and wealth (11/12 people found this helpful)

This book is simply unique. It is without any doubt the best book that the serious student can poses. Fulcanelli speaks with more clarity then most of the philosophers and still without violating the codex of SILENT. This book should actually not been read - it should be studied. I would go so far and say that this is one of a very few modern book which really deals with the subject "alchemy" in its true sense. Today many people seems to believes that alchemy was just a "spiritual journey" and not a proper science with correct and exact answers. The true "spiritual initiation" is founded on the path which leads to success. Alas! They have eyes but still doesn't se... Alchemy is practically and a science which has been misunderstood and forgotten - "the lost word". The reason why so many people think of alchemy as a pure spiritual subject is maybe because that the alchemists stated that also minerals posses a SPIRIT or SEED, like animals and vegetables in the two outer kingdoms. However, it is not my intention trying to convince people of something they actually should discover for them self's - if you buy this book, you are in the possession of an powerful item which will help you to climb the first steep on the ladder of Jacob. If you are interested in new-age and spiritual stuff keep away from this book!!! A true book for the true student.
