"Misunderstanding and the feeling of uncertainty that not-knowing produces in the soul is exactly the challenge Christian Rosenkreutz faces again and again. . . . Yet, in this story, the compassionate healing force of patience arises somehow from misunderstanding. " (from the introduction)The classic text of 1616, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz--supposedly authored by Johann Valentinus Andreae--is one of three key manifestos of the Rosicrucians and alchemists in general. It narrates a story of Christian Rosenkreutz, who was invited to a miraculous castle to assist in the "chemical wedding" of the king and the queen--the husband and the bride. Filled with alchemical metaphors, coded words, and images, Dennis Klocek describes--in his inimitable style--much of the profound meaning behind the colorful and surprising events throughout the seven-day "initiation" of Christian Rosenkreutz. Each chapter is devoted to one of the seven days, featuring an overview, followed by fresh translations of the original text, and illumined by comprehensive and unique commentaries by Dennis Klocek.
