Explore the symbolism and psychological insights in alchemical imagery and discover how to connect it to your inner work
In this workshop, we dive into the psychological and symbolic dimensions of the first four plates of Splendor Solis, one of the most revered illuminated manuscripts in the Western alchemical tradition. Each image, rich in symbolism spanning from the natural world to the mythic imagination, unveils core principles of the alchemical opus. Drawing on Jungian and archetypal concepts, we’ll investigate how the plates illustrate the emergence of deeper psychological realities and how to link them to our inner work.
Topics include:
A brief overview of alchemy from a Jungian and archetypal perspective
Understanding alchemical manuscripts
Introduction to Splendor Solis and its historical significance
The symbolic, psychological and archetypal themes of the first four plates
An exercise to explore the plates and connect it to our inner work
