About the Author Joscelyn Godwin is a composer, musicologist and translator, known for his work on ancient music, paganism and music in the occult.
Also included in this edition is an introduction and commentary by Adam Mc Lean, which illuminates the transformative symbolism.
Despite its importance as a key text of the Western esoteric traditions, this is the first ever contemporary English translation of The Chemical Wedding, made especially for this edition by Joscelyn Godwin.
It is a deeply interior work, one which asks the reader to step into its world of symbols and walk with Christian Rosenkreutz along his path of transformation.
Unlike the Rosicrucian manifestoes, which address the transformation of society, The Chemical Wedding is concerned with the inner transformation of the soul.
