The Four Stages of Alchemy and Creative Process
The podcast episode explores the four stages of alchemy and how they relate to the creative process. The first stage, Nigrato, represents the dark night of the soul and the exploration of shadow work. The second stage, Albedo, involves the dissolution of boundaries between self and other, and the engagement with the unconscious through practices like active imagination. The third stage, Citrinitas, is a solarization process where ideas and concepts are refined, integrated, and allowed to gestate. The final stage, Rubedo, represents completion and the unification of consciousness and unconsciousness. The episode discusses personal experiences within each stage and the importance of balance and integration in the creative process.
