Awesome! I am definitely not as deep into exoteric Alchemy as you are.

Are there any accessible texts you would recommend on Paracelsus?

Of course many Alchemical and Hermetic lessons are to be found within the process of nature itself... as far as chemical Alchemy goes, preparing extracts and tinctures is a large part of producing herbal medicines.

I also do some fermenting and am planning to get into distillation soon.
