Alchemy is an ancient practice that continues to enchant and mystify us today. There are so many symbols to explore, paths to follow, and often our investigation of alchemy is quickly derailed by the intimidation of it all.

In this episode, Mariana is joined by alchemical expert Alyssa Polizzi to break down the major themes and symbols of alchemy, including the prima materia, the philosopher's stone, the mysterious conjunction, and Jung's 4-stage alchemical process. Tune in to initiate your exploration and alchemy, and the many profound resonances to be found in your own inner work.

In our dream interpretation section, we explore a listener’s fairy tale dream of a heroic king who saves a village, finding allies in the forbidden forest.
