An initiatory and practical guide to creative alchemy. In this
initiatory guide to the hermetic art of alchemy, artist Marlene
Seven Bremner reveals how the alchemical opus, the Great Work,
offers a practical means for liberating the authentic creator
within and attaining gnosis, or true self-knowledge. Exploring the
connections between Surrealism and alchemy, as well as the rich and
complicated symbolism of alchemical art, Bremner elucidates how
both Surrealism and alchemy seek to unfetter the imagination and
dissolve the boundaries between dream and reality, thus reconciling
the conscious and unconscious minds. She details how the three
principles (salt, sulphur, and mercury), the four elements, and the
seven planets interact together and within the self in creative
alchemy, and she explains how to work with and transmute these
energies for increased levels of insight, intuition, and
imaginative expression. The author shares practical hermetic and
alchemical techniques for liberating creative expression and
clearing energetic obstructions that prevent us from reaching our
higher potential. She also looks at the zodiacal and planetary
timing of creative operations. Revealing how the stages of
alchemical transmutation are relevant to the creative process, the
author shows how the initiate comes to experience for themselves
the relationship between consciousness and matter, which is the
essence of alchemical teachings. By creating, one transmutes
spiritual energies through matter for greater self-knowledge and
awakening. Allowing you to truly realize your own creative power,
this in-depth guide to creative alchemy shows how the alchemical
path attunes the Self to the rhythms of the spheres, so that one is
naturally creating in time with the seasons and zodiac signs and in
harmony with elemental forces and planetary influences.
