The Alchemy of J K Rowling

Underneath all the excitement and suspense of J K Rowlings Harry Potter, there is a deeper level of symbolism which resonates powerfully in the collective unconscious. And underneath that there is another level again, a level of spiritual Christianity which originated in the philosophy of Ancient Egypt. Hence it is at once ancient and brand new. What was once given to those few in the ancient Mystery Schools in Greece and the Middle East is now being made public to everyone who has ears to hear and eyes to see. This is a realisation which has begun to dawn on me in the last decade as I’ve read Harry Potter again and again, and as I’ve read what others have said. The joy of this discovery keeps hitting me again and again, sometimes literally taking my breath away.
