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><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Keys to the Kingdom of Alchemy by J. Erik LaPort, is one of the most valuable and important works any one can find on the study of The Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine. Through his very extensive research, his keen understanding of philosophical and mythological allegories, his authoritative knowledge on ancient laboratory technologies and processes and verifications through very authentic experimentation, the author most convincingly reveals to us the very cryptic words and instructions concerning the Archetypal Alchemical Stone of Basil Valentine as is set down for us in his Twelve Keys. Through Erik LaPort's work we are made to understand how well founded in his knowledge Basil Valentine truly was for his time, especially in chemical procedures. Through his philosophic operations one can see the great alchemist that he was. The Archetypal Stone of Basil Valentine as revealed in his Twelve Keys is the Summum Bonum of alchemical works of the alchemists. All aspiring and practicing alchemists will truly find Keys to the Kingdom of Alchemy to be a wonderful treasure and a true gift of revelation and instruction shedding a so long awaited illuminating light on Basil Valentine's Great Work." - Steve Kalec<br>
