🌟 Welcome to Episode 49 of Casual Temple! Our guest this episode is Rick Harris, who is a seeker, antiquarian, alchemy enthusiast, and the curator behind Archetypal Artworks. Rick has spent years collecting and studying esoteric books, diving deep into alchemy, astrology, psychology, and Renaissance literature. He shares his fascinating journey—one that took him from theology and psychology to Jungian analysis and Tai Chi—ultimately leading him to explore alchemy as a metaphor for personal transformation. 

Join us as we discuss: 

✨ Rick’s path from minister to mystic 

✨ Alchemy & Jungian psychology—how transformation happens on a soul level 

✨ The importance of myth and archetypes in personal and collective growth 

✨ How books and stories shape our inner world 

✨ Rick’s Alchemy Meditation Deck IV and how it can be used for meditation and self-reflection 

 

Rick’s depth of knowledge and passion for esoteric wisdom, alchemy, and personal transformation make this an episode you don’t want to miss!
