What is needed to understand alchemical texts

Abstract

The article is written on the basis of the first part of the thesis, devoted to the substantiation, interpretation and re-actualization of spiritual alchemy. Recognizing the great difficulty in reading alchemical texts, it is proposed to consider 3 authors (E. Husserl, M. Eliade and C. G. Jung), with the help of which a separate method is formed to achieve the necessary setting when reading certain treatises of this direction. The methodological principle necessary for its acquisition emerges.
