Alchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology: 5 (Studies in Jungian psychology)

A very intriguing book that really gets you thinking. It's one ill re-read throughout the years and I expect new layers of understanding will dawn on me from read to read. I'd recommend Carl Jungs book "Psychology and Alchamy" for further reading.

This is a very interesting and informative book, by a student of Carl Jung. It helps if you already have a grounding in psychology and alchemical principles.

This has been my bedtime reading for some weeks, covering a few pages each night and sometimes a bit more. It's not especially easy reading but Von Franz's style makes it more accessible, and on occasions, I had the experience of reading something that was (synchronistically?) extremely relevant and immediate, and felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise up.To get to grips with understanding the ancient processes of alchemy as being actually a process of the human psyche and soul is not an easy thing, but this book offers much of the richest source materials of antiquity but offered with a modern interpreter who can mediate some of the most obscure language and symbolism.

What a genius Von Franz was, this is a glorious book - her dedication is very inspiring! A perfect addition to Eric Neumann’s book on the history of consciousness. ( thanks Jordan Peterson for introducing me to these awesome books!)

Excellent introduction to Jung's work on Alchemy.

Such an interesting read. Good condition, swift delivery. i would recommend this to anyone interested in symbolism, it definitely opens up some ideas.

Arrived in perfect condition! Thank you so much :)

She explains everything eloquently and nicely.
