But it is much more: essentially, it is a path of self-knowledge, unique in the Western tradition, with vital relevance for the modern world. The symbols of Alchemy lie deep in the collective unconscious, in the world of dreams and imagery: the practices of alchemy are rooted in an understanding of the oneness of spirit and matter through which we celebrate our sexuality and spirituality.\u003cbr\u003e Jay Ramsay takes us step by step through the stages of the alche-mical process using a wide range of original exercises to create a memorable journey that challenges, inspitres and transforms us at every stage. We too can be kings and queens: we too, once we leave our dross behind, are gold.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt's full of fi ne things...\u003cbr\u003e --Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate 1984-1998, playwright and author.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo much good work...\u003cbr\u003e --Robert Bly, award winning poet, essayist, activist and author.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJay Ramsay has written a luminous and wise guide to the mysteries of soul, \u003cbr\u003e and to the images and texts of alchemy, which explores these mysteries...\u003cbr\u003e --Anne Baring, philosopher, visionary and author of several books including: \u003cbr\u003e The Dream of the Cosmos: a Quest for the Soul and The Myth of the Goddess.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRamsay is among those who have been working most assiduously to share\u003cbr\u003e this archetypal language of the soul...\u003cbr\u003e --Lindsay Clarke, review in Caduceus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe clearest account of the alchemical process I've read...\u003cbr\u003e --Peter Redgrove, poet, novelist and playwright.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExtremely wonderful and important...\u003cbr\u003e --Robert Sardello, author and co-founder of The School of Spiritual Psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42712887132223,"sku":"9781906289300","price":28.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/95b95e1d0ab80a6a34dac0eaa349389c.webp?v=1765062703","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/alchemy-the-art-of-transformation-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
