A mysterious invitation to a royal wedding sets the stage for an allegorical journey in "The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz." Set in the early 17th century, this esoteric narrative unfolds over seven days, each representing a stage in the alchemical process. The protagonist, Christian Rosenkreutz, embarks on a quest filled with symbolic trials and mystical experiences, reflecting the spiritual and philosophical currents of the time. The story is steeped in the rich tapestry of Renaissance thought, blending elements of mysticism, alchemy, and the quest for enlightenment. As Rosenkreutz navigates through a series of enigmatic challenges, the narrative explores themes of metamorphosis, self-discovery, and the pursuit of wisdom. The castle, where the wedding is to take place, serves as a microcosm of the universe, with its intricate architecture and hidden chambers symbolizing the complexity of the human soul. The characters he encounters, each with their own secrets and roles, contribute to the unfolding of a grand allegory that mirrors the alchemical process of turning base metals into gold. Through this journey, the reader is invited to ponder the nature of reality, the interplay between the material and the spiritual, and the eternal quest for knowledge. By delving into the symbolic language of alchemy, this book offers a profound reflection on the human condition and the transformative power of inner growth.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' On an evening before Easter Day, I sat at a table, and having (as simfiliiul my custom was) in my humble prayer sufficiently conversed with my Creator, and considered many great mysteries (whereof the Father of Lights his Majesty had shown me not a few) and being now ready to prepare in my heart, together with my dear Paschal Lamb, a small, unleavened, undefiled cake; all of a sudden arose so horrible a tempest, that I imagined no other but that through its mighty force, the hill on which my little house was founded would fly into pieces. But inasmuch as this, and the like from the Devil (who had done me many a spite) was no new thing to me, I took courage, and persisted in my meditation, till somebody in an unusual manner touched me on the back; whereupon I was so hugely terrified, that I dared hardly look about me; yet I showed myself as cheerful as (in such occurrences) human frailty would permit. Now the same thing still twitching me several times by the coat, I looked back, and behold it was a fair and glorious lady, whose garments were all sky coloured, and curiously (like Heaven) bespangled with golden stars; in her right hand she bore a trumpet of beaten gold, on which a Name was engraved which I could well read but am as yet forbidden to reveal it. In her le¿ hand she had a great bundle of letters of all languages, which she (as I afterwards understood) was to carry to all countries. She also had large and beautiful wings, full of eyes throughout, with which she could mount aloft, and fly swifter than any eagle.' 120 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9791041942824
