Alchemical Studies by C. G. Jung – Volume 13 of the Collected Works, including his commentary on The Secret of the Golden Flower and his essay on Paracelsus.
Five long essays in which Jung explores alchemy as a projection of the psyche's transformative processes: his commentary on the Taoist Secret of the Golden Flower, the visions of Zosimos, Paracelsus as a spiritual phenomenon, the Spirit Mercurius, and the Philosophical Tree. Illustrated with alchemical plates and patients' drawings.
These essays show Jung's growing conviction that alchemy was not merely failed chemistry but a symbolic language for inner transformation. The Golden Flower commentary, written with Richard Wilhelm, marked his first serious engagement with the subject and with Eastern thought; the later essays build the foundations for Psychology and Alchemy and Mysterium Coniunctionis.
An essential volume for understanding Jung's work on symbolism and the self.
Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) was the Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology and developed the concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes and individuation.
Ideal for: Jungian students and analysts, readers of alchemy and hermeticism, and collectors of the Collected Works.
