Alchemical Psychology, Old Recipes for Living in a New World
In a book that sparkles with example and practicality, Jungian psychologist Thom Cavalli illustrates how alchemy was one of the earliest attempts to transform consciousness through personal experiment. He explores the little-known recipes – secret processes of transformation- used by ancient medieval alchemist to unlock the mysteries of human nature.

Embodying Osiris, the Secrets of Alchemical Transformation
Contrary to many great thinkers, the gods aren’t dead – they transformed into archetypes. Chief among them is Osiris, nature spirit, God of the Dead and archetype of Regeneration. Dr. Cavalli uses the Osiris myth to describe this evolution of a god and the emergence of the modern psyche.
