	The SF Site Featured Review: The Alchemist's Door
		John Clute observes in his Encyclopedia of Fantasy that "LG is a deceptively quiet writer." However, with The Alchemist's Door the author is possibly too deceptive or quiet.
		The premise to this novel, announced in the author's introductory, is a meeting between the famous English alchemist, John Dee, and his contemporary in the hermetic sciences, Rabbi Judah Loew:
		In her adherence to the alchemist's recorded and chronological travels, the author risks diverting the reader from the central impetus of her narrative, with the end result appearing pendulous to the development of her plot.

	Francis Bacon & John Dee
		John Dee(1527-1608) was a fascinating genius, considered a magus, philosopher and alchemist who captured the attention of the royal courts and best minds throughout Europe.
		Bacon's observation of the mis-treatment bestowed upon Dee by James served to reinforce that it was a different era and that the need to practice that Shakespeare maxim, "Discretion is the better part of valor" was imperative to anyone with a sweet disposition toward magic and mathematics or a secret society.
		Consequently, like Dr. John Dee, his early tutor, he was fascinated by mathematical cypher in both its numeric and geometric forms, and with its magical use.

	The Alchemist is IN! Yankee Brew News, October/November 2004
		The Alchemist is nestled in the Green Mountain town of Waterbury, Vermont.
		One could argue that John and Jen, and maybe some fellow magicians, transferred the base elements (junk) from the basement and main levels of their building; they transmuted the space into gold for their patrons, and hopefully themselves in fair exchange.
		John and Jen first met at the Vermont Pub and Brewery in 1996, him brewing and her at first waiting tables, then helping to manage the Burlington icon.

	Komisar's Curtain-Raisers - New York Theatre Wire
		The creative Karin Coonrod has turned Shakespeare's King John into a swaggering mafioso and Philip, the illegitimate son of John's brother, Richard the Lionhearted, into a bold, cheeky outsider with one eye on the main chance and the other cynically assessing the corruption of the medieval ruling classes.
		John's mother Eleanor (Myra Carter) recognizes one (Smith) as the bastard son of Richard -- thus her grandson.
		Castellaneta, the alchemist, in a purple chenille robe and beret, appears as a driven neurotic.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Alchemist (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Alchemist is one of those exceedingly rare bands that embrace the premise of metal and then, by incorporating external influences and striving to be individualistic songwriters, come up with a style and sound that is uniquely original and all their own, yet still undeniably metal.
		Listening to Alchemist has an almost hypnotic effect, as one is seemingly transported to another world as the songs drift by.
		Simply put, Alchemist is one of the best metal bands to emerge in the last decade -- virtually unknown outside their home of Australia, they are an undiscovered gem.

	Alchemist --- Official Relapse Records Band Page (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Instinctively aware of the importance of stylistic individuality, and disillusioned with the stagnant metal scene of the late Eighties, ALCHEMIST was formed with the purpose of creating original, emotive, hard-driving music that would not only provide metal listeners with a fresh perspective, but attract music lovers usually not interested in metal's extremities.
		During late 1999/early 2000, ALCHEMIST finalized a distribution deal with Dutch label Displeased Records for the European release of their latest opus 'Organasm.' ALCHEMIST viewed 'Organasm' as a rebirth in both innovation and songwriting.
		Heavy music wizards ALCHEMIST concocted a diverse, progressive sonic palette with their long-awaited new album, the undeniably unique 'Austral Alien.' Uniting heavy metal and rock with an avant-garde sense of progressiveness and a remarkably adventurous spirit, ALCHEMIST delivered a record that appealed to metal fans across the board.

	The Alchemist's Tale by John Granger (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The alchemist, like all traditional or non-modern people, understood man to be essentially spirit (as man is created by the Spirit), then soul, then physical body, rather than the reverse.
		In saying this I am not seeking to deny that alchemists also knew and practiced metallurgical procedures such as the purification and alloying of metals; their real work, however, for which all these procedures were merely the outward supports or “operational” symbols, was the transmutation of the soul.
		The Western alchemist by attempting to “kill” the ingredients, to reduce them to the materia prima, provokes a sympatheia between the “pathetic situations” of the substance and his innermost being.

	The Hermetic Tradition
		Alchemists tried to turn base metals into gold or to create an elixir of immortality; things that are impossible, or at any rate, that are impossible with chemistry.
		These views are not mutually exclusive; historians of science acknowledge that even alchemists who were clearly engaged in pragmatic chemistry may also have attached some mystical significance to their work, while cultural historians admit that the alchemical mystics could have employed real metals and fires in their rites.
		Additionally, alchemists know that immortality is a prize for the few, and not an attribute shared by all human beings.

		These were the agents of a third party who sought to be the first to find a killer, a mutant alchemist who'd been shepherding the British mutant population for years and didn't want any unnecessary attention drawn to it.
		Sergeant John Gideon (F.66) is described by his boss as "a bit of a complete psychopath"--his reputation as "the undisputed king of excessive force" got him removed from the regular police, but his father's connections kept him from being fired.
		She did end up finding John Gideon, who took her back to his house, where she was rescued, first by Harold Wisdom, and then by his son Pete, Kitty Pryde, and F.66.
