Surprisingly good. Levenda is skilled in both Sanskrit and Old Chinese, so this book is a comparative study of East and West alchemy.

For people who deny that Western Alchemy was ever "internal", this work serves as a counterpoint. Although the language differs many metaphors do not and by using the Eastern systems as a "map" one can piece together the fragments of the western tradition.

All this plus it is embedded in a biography on Thomas Vaughan (the Alchemistwho "gives it all away").

Comes as a high recommendation for anyone wanting to get into western alchemy or the Western Tradition in General. ❤️

"Through action, a Man becomes a Hero
Through death, a Hero becomes a Legend
Through time, a Legend becomes a Myth
And by learning from the Myth, a Man takes action"
