The Hermetic Marriage of Art and Alchemy book

In this initiatory guide to creative alchemy, Marlene Seven Bremner explores the profound connections between alchemy, Surrealism, and creative expression. Bremner reveals how the alchemical opus—the Great Work—provides a practical path to liberating the authentic creator within and achieving true self-knowledge. She explains how the three alchemical principles (salt, sulfur, and mercury), the four elements, and the seven planets interact within the self, allowing for the transmutation of energies that enhance insight, intuition, and imagination.

Bremner delves into the symbolism of alchemical art, showing how both alchemy and Surrealism aim to dissolve the boundaries between dream and reality, reconciling the conscious and unconscious minds. She shares practical Hermetic techniques for clearing energetic obstructions and aligning creative efforts with zodiacal and planetary timing.

By guiding readers through the stages of alchemical transmutation, Bremner demonstrates how the creative process mirrors the transformation of spiritual energies through matter, leading to greater self-awareness and awakening. This in-depth guide ultimately empowers you to align with the rhythms of the cosmos, creating in harmony with elemental forces and planetary influences.
