The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz Johann Valentin Andreae

 

The Chymical Wedding is an allegoric romance (story) divided into Seven Days, or Seven Journeys, like Genesis, and tells us about the way Christian Rosenkreuz was invited to go to a wonderful castle full of miracles, in order to assist the Chymical Wedding of the king and the queen, that is, the husband and the bride. The story is symbolic of alchemy, the Sacred Marriage being the goal. Very esoteric stuff going on here.
