The Secret Diaries of an Alchemist: Egyptian Mysteries
Occult Alchemy Egyptian Mysteries Esotericism Templar Studies Prophecy & Divination Grimoires & Magical Diaries
The Secret Diaries Of An Alchemist: Egyptian Mysteries is the 2005 illustrated chronicle that grail-seekers and occult collectors keep on their “must-find” list. Da Costa filters the coded notebooks of an unnamed modern alchemist through the lens of Egyptian temple science, Knights Templar symbolism, Nostradamus-style prophecy, and the mineral secrets of the Dead Sea. The result reads like a real-time magical diary rather than a dry history: you watch the author distill ormus gold, decode hieratic sigils, and cross-reference medieval manuscripts with quantum biology, all while recording the dreams, synchronicities, and lab results that traditional scholars never print. Because the book is printed on high-grade matte paper and heavily illustrated with temple floor-plans, alchemical apparatus, and rare facsimile pages, it doubles as a working grimoire and a handsome shelf showpiece.
Collectors prize this first English-language edition for its scarcity in “very good” condition—tight, unmarked, and free of the spine fade that plagues most copies. Unlike later reprints, the 2005 paperback preserves the original full-page plates and marginalia that Da Costa uses to teach readers how to read symbols like a Renaissance adept. Adults and mature teens who enjoyed The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail or Fulcanelli’s Mystery of the Cathedrals will recognize the same investigative thrill, but here the trail ends in practical lab notes you can duplicate at home: a simple moon-charged salt technique, a plant-spagyric tincture timed to planetary hours, and a meditation that replicates the “third current” reported by the Dead Sea mystics. No prior hermetic training is required; the diary format walks you through each experiment with the urgency of a private journal.
Whether you are building an occult library, hunting a unique gift for a Templar or Egyptology buff, or adding a research-grade primary source to your magic-and-mysticism shelf, this clean, smoke-free copy delivers the rarity, artwork, and hands-on content that 200-page mass-market reprints never include. Expect to see it referenced in fringe-science blogs and esoteric TikToks, so grabbing a collector-quality copy now keeps you ahead of the next viral wave.
