The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz | Free Book
Joscelyn Godwin (ed.)
The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, often looked
upon as the third Rosicrucian manifesto, has an entirely different
tone from the other Rosicrucian documents. Unlike the Rosicrucian
manifestoes, which address the transformation of society, The Chemical
Wedding is concerned with the inner transformation of the soul. It is
a deeply interior work, one which asks the reader to step into its
world of symbols and walk with Christian Rosenkreutz along his path of
transformation. Despite its importance as a key text of the Western
esoteric traditions, this is the first ever contemporary English
translation of The Chemical Wedding, made especially for this edition
by Joscelyn Godwin. Also included in this edition is an introduction
and commentary by Adam McLean, which illuminates the transformative
symbolism.
