S2 Ep 10. Jung and Alchemy Part A. - a podcast by Alan Mulhern

Jung did an enormous amount to breathe the spirit back into alchemy after the cold hand of the Western scientific enlightenment had extinguished its flame. He was a pioneer in re-interpreting the alchemical symbols into the language of archetypal myths as well as psychology allowing them to live again.

He was convinced it provided a missing link between the modern analytical psychology that he had created and the wisdom of the ancient world. For him it was the language of the lost soul. Although deeply enigmatic there was a key to the alchemy mysteries and Jung was destined, vocationally called, redemptively compelled to find it as few others could. One is reminded of a saying of the gnostic redeemer: "I wandered through worlds and generations ... all the mysteries unlock."
