For spiritual alchemy.

If you don't know who you are it's nearly impossible to understand salt/sulfur/mercury, much less the rest.
The best part about it is it's eloquence. I'm still learning stuff from it AND it speaks to a beginner as well who has no knowledge of the occult arts.
I use it on a psychological and spiritual level. I don't physically make tinctures or anything. If you're interested in mental/spiritual alchemy as opposed to physical, the best book I've read so far is Catherine MacCoun's "On Becoming an Alchemist: A Guide for the Modern Magician."
