This is the first book which establishes a direct link between the rituals of Freemasonry and the practice of both chemical and spiritual alchemy. Albert Pike understood that the symbolic degrees of Freemasonry contained alchemical secrets, but he never put the whole pattern together and showed how. This book shows these connections for the first time. This book is a must for any Freemason who wants to understand the secret meanings behind the Symbolic "Blue Lodge" ritual. Tim Hogan is a PM, 32*KCCH, KT, FRC, PSM-AMD, and Knight RC of the Royal Order of Scotland. He lectures extensively both inside and outside of the United States on Freemasonry.

Alchemical Keys provides a long-needed explanation to the meanings behind Blue Lodge Ritual. I would recommend it to any Freemason! Brother Hogan's understanding of the relationship between alchemy, gnosticism and Freemasonry is stellar.
This book belongs in every Masonic Library. Timothy Hogan presents compelling evidence of the Craft's links to the ancient alchemists and provides insight into some of the meanings behind it's rituals. Every Mason who reads it will view Freemasonry in a new light.
