The Aurora of the Philosophers

By: Paracelsus

Narrated by: Keira Grace

The great mystic Theophrastus Paracelsus (1493-1541) highlighted the medicinal aspects of the alchemical art. Considered one of his most prominent works, The Aurora of the Philosophers (a.k.a. ‘Monarchia’) deals with the ancient history of magic as practiced in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Persia. It also contains instructions for practical experiments on subjects like the philosopher’s stone, tinctures and transmutation.

good reading

thorough and clear reading of this text. I think she mispronounced a few words but its acceptable.

Disappointed

I found the monotone narration and word mispronunciations too distracting & disappointing to have found value.

You ruined an important text

You completely ruined this important text by your use of this artificial, computer generated voice…. which is grating, and has the most ridiculous pronunciations of words, such as the word Kabbalist being pronounced like “cable-ist.” It’s impossible to listen to this obnoxious reading. Replace the computer voice. Get a real human being.
