Peter Levenda - From Tantra to Alchemy (Pt. 2 of 2)

In part 2 we go further into both Opus Magnum & Vaughan, with questions like: Did John Dee, Cornelius Agrippa, & Abbott Trithemius influence Vaughan? Did he fake his own death? How important is transmutation of Gold? Did he discover the Stone? Why did Mary Atwood's father burn her alchemy book? What's the link between Alchemy & Magic? What's the role of sexuality? What is Mercury? What's the role of Ayahuasca & Psilocybin? Is Surrealism alchymical? What's the Dry & Wet Path? ...and we examine Vaughan's coded image.
