Alchemy of the Soul Ritual Candle

The Great Work (Magnum Opus) in the alchemical and Hermetic tradition, to the process of transmutation of the primal material into the philosopher's stone. The philosopher stone is the most refined and valuable substance which through the alchemical process emerges from the crudest and most worthless. In traditional alchemy, this was the transmutation of lead into gold.
Later, in the Gnostic tradition, this was interpreted not as the transmutation of metal, but of the soul or psyche of the alchemist himself.
This transformative process happens through the integration of the conscious and unconscious aspects of the subject's psychology. Carl Jung describes this process as having four stages: confession, elucidation, education and transformation. This is an analogue for the four stages of alchemical transmutation.

This seven-day candle is used to aid the transformation of the mind, body and soul using the representation of the four stages of alchemy. Each layer contains real tin, copper, silver and gold to correlate to the transmutation that is occurring throughout the process.
