William Walker Atkinson

The Arcane Formulas: Or Mental Alchemy

The Arcane Formulas by William Walker Atkinson was originally published in 1909. It was part of a series named The Arcane Teaching that was published anonymously but which was attributed to Atkinson. The doctrine behind The Arcane Teaching is remarkably similar to the philosophy in The Kybalion, which is also thought to have been written by him. Not so much a book, rather a pamphlet, this short work includes exercises to achieve a higher consciousness to be used to transmute one mental state into another.
