Hi Julie,<br><br>There are a number of groups on Yahoo that are concerned with practical alchemy - although discussion can get quite heated at some times.<br><br>My own interest is in the bibliography of alchemy (see url below). I am currently transferring my 1980 book into a bibliographic database and trying to catch up on what has been written since around 1977. The web site has three main pages (full bibliography, 'new this month' and 'available online') together with a subject index and notes on using the bibliography. The web site is generally updated monthly. There is a lot of both academic and popular material available free of charge online.
You may find some of these of interest in your work.<br><br>As a general appeal, I would very much welcome any references to alchemy that members of this group come across - especially in some of the more out-of-the-way publications.
