Kelley - Charlatan or True Alchemist?,
By Queen of Cups (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alchemical Writings of Edward Kelly (Paperback)
Read his work for yourself and decide. Kelley was first known as a credible scyer (crystal-gazer) and in the 1580's acquired a mysterious red powder that was his ticket to transmute base metals into gold garnering him the support of several wealthy patrons. No matter his practices, his studies were sincere and he did leave a legacy that Waite has persevered and brought to light.
