Sunday, 25 November is Feast of Edward Kelly (or Kelley — alternative spellings exist, as he lived before the time of standardized spelling). The Invisible Basilica of Sabazius describes the Gnostic Saint as: “Irish alchemist and magician. Kelly is best known for his travels with John Dee and work his work for Dee as a ‘skryer’ or visionary medium; but he was also a noted alchemist on his own right, publishing three alchemical works: The Stone of the Philosophers, The Humid Way, and The Theatre of Terrestrial Astronomy.”
Because Kelly was an alchemist who claimed to be able to produce gold from base metals, here is a recipe for “golden coins.”
