Jon Marshall: Jung, Alchemy and History - Paul Ferguson - 08-19-2025
"Jung attempted to explain the obscurity of alchemy, the drive of its marked and colourful symbols, and the reality behind people’s reporting
the discovery of things, like the Philosophers’ Stone, which we might regard as chemically impossible. Basically Jung argued that the alchemical work acted as a kind of dynamic Rorschach blot in which the equally dynamic processes of the psyche were projected onto the substances the alchemist was working with. Alchemy was a kind of a collective conscious dream."
