Alchemy and writing

[Paul Ferguson]

"Just as alchemy unfolds its enigmatic stages — nigredo, albedo, citrinitas and rubedo — so too does the writer travel a parallel path in birthing their stories. Each stage, an alchemical marvel, resonates deeply with the nuanced layers of the writing journey. Can you tell how ready I am to nerd out on all of this?? The plan is to write a collection of essays of varying lengths, exploring the mystical connections between these realms. I want to learn the secrets that bind the transformative processes of both alchemy and writing."
