Free Plus Show: Dr. Stephen Skinner | The History Of Magic, Summoning Spirits, & John Dee
Alchemy, Transmutation and the Red and White Powders
The alchemical pursuits of John Dee and Edward Kelly are examined, specifically their alleged discovery of "red and white powders" in Glastonbury used for transmutations. Dr. Skinner recounts his own observations of a modern alchemist in London who successfully replicated the classical sequence of colors in a laboratory setting but failed the final step. While theoretically possible through atomic manipulation, Skinner views traditional alchemy as an interminably slow process compared to the more immediate results of magic.
