""Of The True Subject Of The Hermetic Art And Its Concealed Root"" is a book written by Mary Anne Atwood that delves into the secrets of the Hermetic Art. The Hermetic Art, also known as alchemy, is an ancient practice that aims to transform base metals into gold and to attain spiritual enlightenment.
