40015	Hoeller, Stephan Secret Roots Of Alchemy	$11.95	Because of C. G. Jung, we have an entirely different view of alchemy than our predecessors did a century ago.

Further research led to discoveries of inks between Gnosticism, alchemy, and archetypes of the unconscious. In this talk, Gnostic scholar Hoeller details Jung's explorations, and elaborates on methods alchemists and Gnostics use to bring about psychological and spiritual transformation. - 1985 Esalen - One Audiotape
