Is Harry Potter based on an alchemical-Rosicrucian text from the 17th century? On this episode of Mythic Existence, host Jack Daly explores that possibility. Alchemy is not just about the transmutation of mundane lead into mundane gold. Rather, it is about turning the lead of a normal individual into the gold of an enlightened and fully realized self. In this reading of Harry Potter, the story becomes an alchemical allegory and a map towards obtaining the Philosopher's Stone and achieving a union with the divine.
