ABSTRACT
Pray, Read, Read, Read. Read again, Work and you shall find. Mutus Liber One book opens another. Rhazes You read as much into a book as out of it. C. G. Jung, Liber Novus
After examining the various ways earlier scholars read Jung’s alchemical writing, Stanton Marlan offers his own way to approach it, which he calls a daimonic reading. Meditating on the flow of alchemical images gathered by Jung, he opens himself to an inner voice, one that is at once personal and “other”, to discover their hidden depths. We are allowed a rare glimpse into the laboratory of Marlan’s mind and soul, where he follows his lifelong passion for these old alchemical writings.
