Firma, con Russell House, el prólogo de Triad Publishing que abre los seis tomos de cursos de Jean Dubuis de esta base y va fechado el 21 de mayo de 2000 «Mineral Alchemy I (Dubuis) · p. 4». Es la única firma suya en el corpus, y por eso todo lo que esta ficha pone en su boca es primera persona del plural, compartida con él, y así lo dice cada glosa.
Lo que el corpus dice de ella lo escribe Mark Stavish en dos planas. En sus agradecimientos la llama «president of Triad Publishing, who in her own right can be called the “mother of American alchemy,”» «Stavish — The Path of Alchemy · p. 16»; y en su introducción la hace, con su marido, figura central de Les Philosophes de la Nature «Stavish — The Path of Alchemy · p. 18». Dos planas de un solo autor: eso es toda su biografía consignable.
El prólogo que firman los dos no es nota de cortesía. Data su trato con Jean Dubuis —alumnos de sus lecciones desde 1988, amistad desde un seminario en Canadá en 1992 «Mineral Alchemy I (Dubuis) · p. 4»—, declara a Triad único editor en lengua inglesa de los cursos «Mineral Alchemy I (Dubuis) · p. 3» y da una razón de método para publicarlos desde una editorial y no desde una fraternidad: respetar la libertad personal de cada quien en el Camino de Retorno «Mineral Alchemy I (Dubuis) · p. 4».

6 entries — the author's own voice, with its source and passage«With good wishes for each in their quest for self knowledge, Sue and Russ House TRIAD PUBLISHING May 21, 2000» — así cierran y firman los dos el prólogo de Triad Publishing, el 21 de mayo de 2000. Es la única plana del corpus donde aparece su firma.
«Our association with Mr. Dubuis began as earnest students of his lessons, around 1988, when they were first translated into English. Our personal relationship began in 1992, at a seminar in Canada, and we have shared many delightful and magical times together in the U.S. and in France since that time. We are grateful to say that our contact with our generous friend has stimulated personal transformation for ourselves and for many others» — el prólogo, en primera persona del plural de los dos, data su trato con Jean Dubuis: alumnos desde 1988, amistad desde un seminario en Canadá en 1992.
«Triad Publishing is now the sole publisher of these courses for the English language, duly authorized by Mr. Dubuis» — el mismo prólogo, en plural, declara a Triad Publishing único editor en lengua inglesa de estos cursos, autorizado por Dubuis, tras el cierre de las dos asociaciones.
«This course is, perhaps, Mr. Dubuis' finest publication to date. It provides a synthesis of a number of important ideas in esoteric studies, and provides a suitable foundation for a novice, as well as for an experienced worker to understand the courses in Qabala, Spagyrics and Alchemy. It does, however, stand alone as a course» — el mismo prólogo, en plural, tiene el curso Fundamentals of Esoteric Knowledge por lo mejor que Dubuis ha publicado.
«we must urge the student to work with Spagyrics before beginning the Mineral Alchemy work. This is for numerous reasons. The plant kingdom is traditionally where the principles and practices of Alchemical Work are learned. The plant kingdom is relatively safe for experimentation, and the costs are minimal because plants are readily available, and the equipment required is not particularly specialized. In this rather forgiving and gentle realm, a student can learn the skills and manipulations, which have many parallels in the work on minerals and metals. The theoretical aspects of Alchemy, which are the foundation for all practice, can be learned more readily using plants than with metals» — el mismo prólogo, en plural, pone el orden de estudio de los cursos: espagiria antes que alquimia mineral, por seguridad y por costo.
«We believe that the dissemination of these courses through the agency of a publishing firm, rather than through that of a fraternal group or membership association, will support that objective» — el mismo prólogo, en plural, declara por qué publican los cursos desde una editorial y no desde una fraternidad: para respetar la libertad personal de cada quien en el Camino de Retorno.
About the author
2 entries — what others say about them«two very special women who have tolerated all of this nonsense for so long: Sue House, president of Triad Publishing, who in her own right can be called the "mother of American alchemy,"» — Mark Stavish la llama presidenta de Triad Publishing y dice que por derecho propio cabe llamarla madre de la alquimia americana.
«Russell and his wife, Sue, are well known to students of alchemy, as they were central figures in the now-defunct alchemical-Qabalistic organization the Philosophers of Nature (PON)» — Stavish la hace esposa de Russell House y figura central de Les Philosophes de la Nature, que da por desaparecida.
