This, that I have called the Solar Work, is complete.

I've just finished and sent off my first paper for the MA in Western Esoteric Studies, on Alchemy and its significance in the Western Esoteric Tradition. It's been a mind-bender in more ways than many, but it's complete and sent now. I've been reminded how significant the Emerald Tablet of Hermes is to the tone and texture of the esoteric current, in that it comprehends the concerns of the tradition, from the occult unity of all manifestation, to the correspondence of all things, and that all creative acts, whether it be the entire universe or a single essay, are manifest by the identical process.

It's worth another meditation upon in any of its versions;

I'd also highly recommend Edinger's 'Anatomy of the Psyche' as a good example of the alchemical corpus applied to the development of the psyche, although it is not the entire story, as it is purely from a Jungian perspective.
