In this major work of contemporary esotericism, Fulcanelli offers an in-depth study of the mysterious symbolism, completely independent of Christian themes, that adorns the great French cathedrals.
From the masterpiece of Notre-Dame de Paris to the majestic Amiens Cathedral, not to mention the Hô tel Lallemant de Bourges and the Cyclic Cross of Hendaye, he reveals with impressive knowledge and palpable conviction all their secret symbolism hidden in the stone. Fulcanelli demonstrates how this language actually represents an exhaustive introduction to the most advanced alchemical processes and clearly details the operations of the Great Work.
This book also constitutes a powerful testimony to the abundance and complexity of our cultural heritage, from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era.
Fulcanelli, the legendary alchemist, continues to exist, and his alchemical teachings touch us, whether we believe in them or not.
