"The Riddle of Alchemy seems like an extraordinary exploration of alchemy that masterfully combines historical depth with psychological and philosophical insights. The way Kiritsis connects alchemical principles to Jung's theory of individuation is particularly intriguing, offering a unique perspective that seems both scholarly and profound. I’m especially drawn to the book's comprehensive approach, integrating historical context with allegorical and psychological interpretations. It sounds like a must-read for anyone interested in not only the history of alchemy but also its relevance to modern science and personal development.
