Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism


Anatomy of the Psyche: Alchemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy (Reality of the Psyche Series)
by Edward Edinger

“Edinger has greatly enriched my understanding of psychology through the avenue of alchemy. No other contribution has been as helpful as this for revealing, in a word, the anatomy of the psyche and how it applies to where one is in his or her process. This is a significant amplification and extension of Jung’s work. Two hundred years from now, it will still be a useful handbook and an inspiring aid to those who care about individuation”. — Psychological Perspectives

The Alchemy Website: Interconnected

The Alchemy Website is organised by Adam McLean, the well known authority on alchemical texts and symbolism, author and publisher of over 70 books on alchemical and Hermetic ideas.

Alchemy is a complex subject with many different interconnected aspects. Many people still only think of the quest of the philosophers’ stone to change base metals into gold. On this web site you will be able to explore the riches of alchemical texts, some of which are wonderful works of allegorical literature, delve into its amazing, beautiful and enigmatic symbolism, and ponder its underlying hermetic philosophy, which holds a picture of the interconnection of the Macrocosm and Microcosm.
