The lessons are self-contained,
though it will be best if students
read more widely and also built up their own library of
alchemical emblems on which to develop their work. This
is not a correspondence course and students should not
expect me to be able to write to them individually on
particular matters, as regrettably I just do not have time to
enter into individual correspondence.
