A talk by Jean Artero during the symposium “Fulcanelli” 7th of May 2011 at Pradet, Var, France Fulcanelli can be considered as the most well-known contemporary alchemist, deriving his reputation from numerous translations of his works, now available in most Western languages and even in Japanese. If there are questions about the reasons for this fame, we can consider multiple factors, the first of which is his approach to Alchemy that I would call the Alchemy of light.

This is mainly due to the fact that expectations grow great and most people might be tempted to believe they have found a wondrous shortcut to get easily rich without any effort.
