The Mirror of Alchemy, Roger Bacon: An English Translation

In this manuscript, inspired by the alchemical wisdom of Roger Bacon, the process of projection is unveiled. Guided by Bacon's profound understanding of the alchemical arts, we delve into the transformative powers of the red and white elixirs. As Bacon himself discovered, not all metals possess equal receptivity to these divine forces. By following Bacon's teachings, we discern the metal closest to perfection, allowing us to focus our efforts on its transmutation. Drawing upon Bacon's alchemical insights, we recognize nature's inclination for like to attract like, the key to successful projection. Through the alchemical marriage of a portion of the elixir with a thousand parts of the chosen metal, enclosed within the sacred vessel, and subjected to gradual heat over three days, the sublime fusion is achieved. In reverence to Bacon's alchemical legacy, we honor the remarkable union of science and spirituality, unlocking the secrets of transmutation.
