Summary: Heavy Stuff...
Review: I've just started reading this book and have to
express the fact that it starts out from the
beginning with a very heavy concept to digest.
I don't feel that this book is for someone who's
never read Jung or studied alchemy.
I'm only a beginner at psychological alchemy. Maybe
this is why it seems so "heavy".
I'm enjoying the book, so far, but I have to read
it slowly and only digest a few pages at a time.
Maybe as the book goes on I'll be able to take
it in faster, but, the beginning of it throws the
reader right into the alchemical theory that its
writers have come up with through their studies.
It's all very interesting, and wrote well.
I just don't think this book would be good for
someone not familiar at all with Jung and alchemy.
If you're just now starting, look for a more basic
book on the subject. Try Thom F. Cavalli's
book entitled "Alchemical Psychology: Old Recipes for
Living in a New World".
If you are familiar with this subject, you'll probably
love this book.
I will report back at a later date, when I have
finished this book, and expand on this basic review.
For now, 4 stars!
Peace!
