Title: From the Mailbox to the Trash
Review: This is a review of what I read from the mailbox to the trash. The book is more of a dictionary of alchemists or those that prolonged the study of alchemy in the face of modern science. Grimoire was not even included as an entry. Waite's extensive textually critical analysis of extant books debunching the more ficticious publications of his time did not even get a footnote in this dictionary. The famous Alchemist's Gate that spurred generations of 'research' missed the publication deadline. The elements were tapered to those earlier than Plato BC period and excluded Plato's aether (not that Plato was the ultimate encourager of free thinking, he sabatoged the advancement of mathematics for generations with the geometry only edict). A full page is devoted to Jung with his psychobabble that totally ignored the fact that contrary to Jungian presuppositions and extant evidence alchemists of the past did perform and document their non-metephysical experiments.
Is the review positive or negative?
