i remember that bardon's last book was supposed to be on alchemy. there is a yahoo group that teaches alchemy for those just starting out. plant work, mineral, etc. since we don't have bardon's instructions some may be interested in finding alchemical instruction from some other sources to add to their work. if you check out the group the instructional posts begin somewhere around #50. they are numbered. it is worth reading all the archives since there is much instruction contained in question and answer posts that aren't found in the instructional ones. this is the only online source i've found that teaches from the start of the work on up for free. it's a great resource that only a few know about. hope it's useful to some of you. the link is; http://groups.yahoo.com/group/learn_alchemy/?yguid=186997924 herby
