The Alchemical Mandala: A Survey of the Mandala in the Western Esoteric Traditions

Adam McLean

Mandalas have been recognized as important tools in Eastern spiritual traditions for focusing meditation. Though various Western traditions possess such mandalas they have not been widely recognized except by those deeply schooled in Western esotericism. Adam McLean attempts to remedy this situation by presenting and analyzing in great depth over 40 beautiful engravings reproduced as full-page illustrations from alchemical kabbalistic magical Rosicrucian and Hermetic sources including outlines of three ways for working with mandalas in meditation.
