Adam McLean

Adam McLean (born 7 March 1948 in Glasgow) is a Scottish writer on alchemical texts and symbolism.

Aside from his prolific writing and publishing efforts, McLean has contributed to the study of alchemy through the collecting, cataloguing and archiving of alchemical texts; the creation of alchemical art and study courses; and the establishment of web resources that bridge the interests of scholars and esotericists.

[7] Since the early 1980s, Adam McLean has been credited as a pioneer in the resurgence of English language alchemical texts, creating a huge expansion in interest at both a scholarly and popular level.

[8][9] In 1995, he founded The Alchemy Website, greatly increasing the availability of alchemical texts and art for a general audience.

John Granger named McLean as one of the three figureheads of modern alchemical influence alongside Carl Jung and Titus Burckhardt.
