Embodying Osiris: The Secrets of Alchemical Transformation by Thom F. Cavalli

Thom F. Cavalli reads the death and resurrection of Osiris through Jungian psychology and the symbolism of alchemy. The Egyptian myth becomes a way to consider the relationship between conscious and unconscious life, opposing forces, and the search for wholeness.

Central to his interpretation is the alchemical pattern of dissolution and recombination. Readers interested in symbolic alchemy and individuation will find a modern psychological-spiritual reading of the myth rather than a straightforward retelling or an archaeological history. ISBN: 9780835608800.
