<strong>Chicken</strong> <strong>Little</strong>: Messiah, Meshuggeneh or Metaphor? 19<br />

Alchemical image of the transformation of Mercurius,<br />

as prima materia, in the heated, sealed vessel<br />

(Barchusen, Elementa chemiae, 1718; National Library, Paris)<br />

“Instead of arguing with the drives which carry us away, we prefer to<br />

cook them and ask them what they want. That can be discovered by<br />

active imagination, or through a fantasy, or through experimenting in<br />

reality, but always with the introverted attitude of observing.”<br />

—Marie-Louise von Franz, Alchemy: An Introduction.
