About the Author

Dennis William Hauck is an author, consultant, and lecturer working to facilitate personal and institutional transformation through the application of the ancient principles of alchemy. He writes and lectures on the universal principles of physical, psychological, and spiritual perfection to a wide variety of audiences that range from scientists and business leaders to religious and New Age groups.

Hauck’s interest in alchemy began while he was still in graduate school at the University of Vienna, and he has since translated a number of important alchemy manuscripts dating back to the fourteenth century. He is the publisher of the Alchemy Journal and author of more than a dozen books on alchemy. His best-selling The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation (Penguin, 1999) presents startling new revelations about the mysterious artifact that inspired over 3,500 years of alchemy. His Sorcerer’s Stone: A Beginner’s Guide to Alchemy (Citadel, 2004) is an entertaining introduction to practical and spiritual alchemy. Hauck has been interviewed on nearly 400 radio and TV programs, including NPR’s Morning Edition, Sally Jessy Raphael, Geraldo, Extra, and CNN Reports.
