Keys to the Kingdom of Alchemy

<p><em>Keys to the Kingdom of Alchemy</em> is a decoding of the chemical reaction encrypted in Basil Valentine's <em>The Stone of the Great Philosophers - The XII Keys</em>. This new interpretation primarily addresses operative alchemy. Apart from operative aspects however a tremendous amount of rich allegorical storytelling and masterful conceptual blending reveals the author of <em>The XII Keys </em>to have been a highly educated polymath fluent in not only alchemy but also Christian mysticism Greco-Roman mythology and Perennial Philosophy. Such a complete package in a single author is certain to be of interest to professional researchers and alchemy enthusiasts.</p>
