Description
From Brian Cotnoir:
I wrote this piece in the Fall of 1978 after a period of very intense study over the Winter of 1977 and Summer of 1978 when I deepened my studies with meetings with fellow travelers in Europe.
I produced this now as a mini-zine from my typed submission to Parachemy. It is one of my first publications concerning alchemy. I share it with the list as the original article and journals are hard to find.*It is just four pages photocopied and stapled.
