“Arcanum arcanorum: A refinement of the arcanum within C. G. Jung’s alchemical opus” is a truly simile to Jung’s classical vision extending his classical work into alchemical inquiry and rich inventory of C. G. Jung’s Latin terms. Diego Pignatelli Spinazzola restores and retrieves Jung’s lyrical poetry along with the numinous approach throughout C. G. Jung’s longstanding work into Gnosticism, Hermeticism and alchemical vision. Central into this essay is Jung’s inquiry into the “magnet” as archetype of the Self and the “krater” of Zosimos. This book stands peer to peer with C. G. Jung’s Collected Works and the more Jung’s mature writings of his alchemical monumental production.

Arcanum arcanorum has the same “marble weight” of C. G. Jung’s alchemical Opus. Weaving his poetry throughout Gnostic and alchemical topics, Diego Pignatelli Spinazzola offers an original vision of Jung’s alchemy Greek, Gnostic and mediaeval along with a rich and kaleidoscopic inventory for which the book reaches the same creative approach and richness in background of Jung’s best gnostic Fathers, Church allegories and alchemical metaphors.
