“There are books that capture the longings and hopes of a pivotal era in history and give them a form that catalyzes collective change. Alchemical Lightwork may well fill that role for our time. Combining the contemporary spiritual movement of lightwork with the wisdom of classical alchemical texts, this book offers a path out of the darkness of our ‘enlightened’ dark age toward individual and collective spiritual regeneration.” * John Michael Greer, author of The King in Orange, The Twilight of Pluto, The Druidry Handbook, and T * “This luminous book weaves light, love, and creativity into a network of associations that enhance and support human spiritual development. Versluis traces the various stages of alchemical transformation for the integration of the inner and outer, of the soul and body, through ‘steps of light’ leading to wholeness and unity. This book synthesizes alchemical history, leading figures, deep symbolism, visual art, and sacred texts with a hidden history of elemental, esoteric teachings and ancient mysteries. A passionate counternarrative to the current spiritual uncertainty, this book offers a brilliant reformulation of alchemy as a path of personal spiritual discovery. Beautifully illustrated with rare alchemical prints, this is an inspiring guide to inner transformation!” * Lee Irwin, author of Alchemy of Soul and Divine Feminine Gnosis * “Through the ancient craft of spiritual alchemy, Arthur Versluis guides us on a journey through stages of restoration both physical and mystical. This is an important book that can initiate profound changes both within us and in the world. Highly recommended.” * John Matthews, author of The Prophecies of Merlin and coauthor of The Complete King Arthur and The L * “This is a truly light-filled book that speaks to our nigredo age in the language of alchemical transmutation, lighting the way to a restored wholeness for ourselves and our society.” * Christopher McIntosh, author of The Call of the Old Gods, Occult Russia, and Occult Germany * “I recommend this book—with its superb color illustrations—to any reader or student of alchemy who seeks to move beyond the endless repetitions found in contemporary publications.” * R. J. Stewart, author of Earth Light, The Underworld Initiation, and Advanced Magical Arts *
