In 1937, a thirty-one year old student of Magic released the secret teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. One year later, that same student, Dr Francis Israel Regardie, published the first edition of a book which would set the tone and direction for alchemical studies for nearly three decades. In this epic book, Regardie gives a penetrating insight into the psychological aspects and mystical symbolism of three famous alchemical tracts: The Golden Tract of Hermes, The Six Keys of Eudoxus, and The Triumphal Chariot of Alchemy. However, after meeting and studying with the famous Alchemist, Frater Albertus (Dr. Albert Richard Reidel), Regardie's views on Alchemy changed forever, as the Alchemist taught him the physical, laboratory basis of the Science that is Alchemy.
