Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

- Latest Review: Surviving The Warming by Lorin Robinson
I think this question is largely dependent on which genre you're shelving this book. I'd categorize this as more of a sociological text than a mystic or mythological text, but I suppose some might disagree.
I don't think there's anything wildly different about this text compared to other sociological texts. The author does pull in more fields than just considering the practice of alchemy from a sociological perspective, which is rare, but not unheard of in academic settings.

- Latest Review: The Eve Code by Mariett Ramm
What exactly is the genre of this book?
Compared to similar book, The Riddle of Alchemy is a good combo of history, religion, philosophy and sociology. A 4-in-1 book, I would say. It's a good one.
