EMBODYING OSIRIS. THE SECRETS OF ALCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION

Product Description

CAVALLI (THOM F) EMBODYING OSIRIS. THE SECRETS OF ALCHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION 

 Embodying Osiris is a Jungian explanation of the great myth of Osiris, ancient Egypt's venerated Lord of the Underworld and devoted husband of Isis, the mother goddess of wisdom and magic. This book examines the contemporary re-surfacing of Osiris as a psycho-spiritual model for the individual psyche. For Dr. Thom Cavalli, the gods did not in fact disappear but instead have been gradually re-emerging as psychological archetypes. Cavalli, a practicing Jungian psychologist, includes actual dream materials and clinical vignettes from his patients to amplify the myth's content, revealing a means for real-life spiritual  transformation.     In the myth Osiris is murdered and dismembered by his brother Set, who then scatters the pieces across the earth. But through the incantation of his beloved wife Isis, he is magically resurrected. Osiris brought back from the dead, the pinnacle of this sophisticated allegory, contains purposefully hidden keys. Seekers who de-code these keys gain access to real-life alchemical transformation. Embodying Osiris unlocks these deep Egyptian secrets, which Cavalli calls "recipes", offering a radical shift in consciousness for readers.       QUEST BOOKS.
