The Alchemical Sacred Marriage: A Woman's Sandplay Journey to Wholeness
January 2024
DOI:10.61711/jst.2024.33.2.559
Authors: Lynne L. Ehlers
"C. G. Jung contended that the work of the ancient Western alchemists was a metaphor for the process of individuation, and that the three colors, black, white, and red that the alchemists reported seeing in their vessels—termed after their Latin alchemical equivalents, nigredo, albedo, and rubedo, respectively—represented stages of psychological development. This contention was empirically tested and corroborated in the author's 1992 dissertation on the colors in her dreams over a 14-year period, and further corroborated in the sandplay clinical material of a woman whose off-and-on therapy spanned 22 years."

"The platonic solids are 3D polyhedra where each face is identical. In alchemical texts each form is associated with one of the five elements. The tetrahedron represents fire; the hexahedron, earth; the octahedron, air; the icosahedron, water; and the dodecahedron, ether (combining fire, earth, air and water). The star tetrahedron contains two intersecting tedrahedra. It is the atomic structure of silicon chip quartz used in computers to store memory, as well as the shape of our energetic vehicle known as a Merkaba."

"In the previous installment we concluded our journey through the Ancient Ages by introducing the first women who contributed to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This time we move on to the Middle Ages where medicine was the one that benefited the most from the contributions made by women, both geographically and temporally distanced."
"Keng Hsien-Seng (around 975 A.D.)
A Chinese woman, daughter of an eminent scholar named Keng Chhien, she is described by Wu Shu in his writings on science as a woman who from a young age was intelligent and liked to read books. She was also fond of writing, wrote poetry worthy of compliments, but who was also familiar with Taoist techniques and who could control spirits. She became an expert in yellow and white alchemy with many other powerful, mysterious and incomprehensible transformations. Wu Shu says that no one knew how she obtained all this knowledge."
