Synopsis

Ralph Metzner first wrote about alchemy when he was in his early 30s. He included a chapter on alchemy in his book Maps of Consciousness, which was published in 1971. In the last few years of his life Ralph recorded his thoughts on some 36 alchemical terms. Over an arc of some 50 years, Ralph worked on the practice of using alchemical processes for inner transformation. This volume of musings combines his earliest writing on alchemy with his last writings on alchemical terms, bookends of an arc of exploration.
