The Alchemy of William Blake (1)

Created on: 2024-10-18
Jacob Boehme's three Principles are allegories of humanity's origins, birth, and rebirth and explain the existence of evil and injustice in the world. This is the secret teaching at the core of William Blake's cosmogony. Considering that the Greater Lights of Boehme's metaphysical system are the same as Blake's, we can start to comprehend why humanity falls so short of its potentiality.
This book profoundly explores the connection between William Blake and Jacob Boehme. The author meticulously dissects Blake's tempera painting, 'An Allegory of the Spiritual Condition of Man,' to comprehensively analyse his beliefs. The book carefully examines the painting as a whole and its constituent parts, exploring the relationships between them before reassembling it.

'An Allegory of the Spiritual Condition of Man' has rich potential for interpretation, encompassing both Kabbalistic and alchemical perspectives. The author skilfully incorporates these interpretations into the book's structure, leading readers on a fascinating journey of discovery and deepening their understanding and appreciation of the philosophical alchemy underpinning Blake's mysticism.
