Alchemy 1.01 with JJ Stenhouse is a fascinating exploration of transformation, both in the historical sense and in our personal lives. JJ, known as the Practical Alchemist, is joined by Paul Karitsis, a medical psychologist and author, who brings a wealth of knowledge about alchemy's philosophical and practical dimensions. Paul’s book, The Riddle of Alchemy, recently won the Montaigne Medal for its in-depth look at this ancient art.
Together, they dissect the complexities of alchemy, from its roots in medieval laboratories to its influence on modern psychology and philosophy. Paul explains how alchemy is not just about turning lead into gold but involves a deep psychological and spiritual transformation. The episode delves into how alchemical principles have woven their way into contemporary life, touching on topics like Carl Jung’s psychological archetypes and the pursuit of eternal life.
With a sprinkle of humour, JJ and Paul ponder the age-old quest for the Philosopher's Stone and its modern-day equivalents, like cryogenics and anti-aging treatments. Whether you're curious about the mystical or seeking a deeper understanding of personal growth, this episode offers insights that might just change how you see the world. So, are you ready to discover the alchemist within?
