Five Alchemical Stages

Wednesday July 9, 2008
The Alchemical Woman is rich in so many golden ways! The writing style of co-authors Catherine W. Davidson, Ph.D and Ramona P. Rubio. Ph.D is truly transformative, it literally draws you in. A book of self-discovery for the woman who has lost her way. Pathways (alchemical stages) are shown where a woman (women of all ages) will find shelter when she is cold, acceptance or forgiveness when she feels failure, expression of joy when she desires celebration.

Five Alchemical Stages

  • Nigredo (darkness)
  • Lapiz (darkness lifting)
  • Alabedo (white light awareness)
  • Citrinitas (juiciness of physical life)
  • Rubedo (wholeness)

“literally” meaning of written text grabbing my interest. It was clearly meant as a pun. Hand-cuff me now!
