Esoteric analysis of the Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosenkreutz anno 1459, Part I. First published in 1616, this strange story of Christian Rosycross's seven-day journey to the wedding of a King and a Queen is a Hermetic allegory intended, says Jan van Rijckenborgh, to be a guidebook for people who are actively engaged in the process of inner transformation. As he unlocks the story for us, we begin to see the means by which the original Soul dormant within us can be brought back to life and united with the Spirit. This 'marriage' is accompanied by the alchemical transformation of consciousness, soul and body.
This first volume contains the text of the first three days of The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross by Johann Valentin Andreae with extensive esoteric analysis by Jan van Rijckenborgh, 9 full-page illustrations by Johfra and a 6-page glossary of Rosicrucian terms.
