Greetings all! I am Karen Bartlett. I have been and am the facilitator of continuing and preserving Robert A Bartlett and Frater Albertus knowledge research and work in Alchemy. This has been my mission since 2001. I met Robert in 1995 and had little knowledge of Alchemy at the time. It earned my interest and respect when I used these medici es first on my pets and then myself and saw their almost miraculous effects. Particularly the Antimony and Gold tinctures. I launched a campaign to keep this knowledge alive and get Robert out there teaching and writing. No small task dealing with basically a Hermit who prefers his books and laboratory to interacting with humans! Lol. Nonetheless I convinced him of the necessity for this knowledge for Mankind, ( appealing to his Aquarian Sun I suppose!). This resulted in the first book, Real Alchemy; A Primer of Practical Alchemt His knowledge is vast and continues to amaze me and his many times repeat students. A BS in Chemistry fron Boise State with top honors, and many years as a working Chemist he tested and studied many of these substances and alot of his results are published in the Way of the Crucible (Redwheel Weiser), and the Temper of Herbs and Book on Antimony. (Revelore Press). And continues his research. I have pushed for Fraters dream of Tristar, a School, Lab, and Alternative medicines practice to utilize these substances. I have created after a false start, the Tristar Alchemy Foundation, a 501C non profit who's mission is to support research and clinical trials, and accumulate enough donations to facilitate the manifestation of the physical Tristar.
Dennis William Hauck originally took us under his wing and created the IAG conference back in 2007, which introduced and reintroduced Robert and Fraters Work to people around the World.
We are lifetime members of the Guild.
Due to wide ranging word getting out now with Social media and hence naysayers and attacks I felt the need to write this Post. We also have the utmost support of Angela Reidel, Fraters daughter in Utah.
Our website is Spagyricus.com we have an online School as well operating under the umbrella of Tristar Alchemy Foundation and encourage your support. We do not make tons of money. This was never about profit. Classes, books, tincture sales keep this all afloat and helps us pay the Bills and keep the physical School going as well as all the tech people that go into keeping everything up and running. So a good portion of funds go into the non profit and further Research! Thankyou to all who have supported us through the years!-Karen Bartlett
