Sources and Verification

    Medieval Alchemy: The concept of Preparation is implied in texts like the Emerald Tablet and works by alchemists like Paracelsus, who emphasized purifying materials and intent. The 14-stage framework draws from George Ripley’s Twelve Gates (1471) and other sources like Theatrum Chemicum, with Solution and Ceration added from less common references. Preparation is a natural extension based on these traditions.
    Jungian Interpretation: Jung’s works (Psychology and Alchemy, 1944; Mysterium Coniunctionis, 1955) focus on psychological parallels to alchemy, and Preparation aligns with his emphasis on the initial call to individuation (e.g., in The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious). The psychological interpretations are adapted to fit each stage.
    No External Search Needed: My knowledge of alchemical and Jungian literature is sufficient to construct this 15-stage model without external searches.

1. Preparation Gather/purify materials, align intent               Set intention for individuation, open to unconscious
2. Calcination Burn to ash, remove impurities                     Dismantle ego, confront shadow

4. Separation Isolate valuable elements                              Differentiate conscious/unconscious
5. Conjunction Unite opposites                                          Integrate ego and shadow

13. Fixation Stabilize into permanent form                          Solidify growth into lasting change
14. Multiplication Amplify Stone’s power                          Extend individuation to influence others
15. Projection Apply Stone to transmute lead                    Live as fully individuated Self

Sucess during this five fortnite season can be measured in an increased ability to understand others, to ascertain their motives and drives as well as ones own motivations.   Long term, multi year measurements of sucess should be seen as a better and better understanding of human nature,a relative familiarity with the psyche and how the subconscious forces influence us, and a general increase in wisdom and ability to share. The symbol of this deepening understanding is the dream diary and  books, discussion tables, meeting rooms, banquet halls, feasts.
