Up: [[Alchemy]] Created: 2025-10-23 This is the alchemical operation that says that the inner work is never done, that there is always another loop of the spiral to engage with. It reminds me of Jung talking about [[Circumambulation]] of the centre. Keep coming back and back to an issue, trusting that each time you’re at a new place of awareness, even if that place seems remarkably like it was before. Also understand that everything, including personal growth, comes in cycles. There will be times of change and times when nothing seems to change, but you are integrating and resting, getting ready for the next leap or baby step forward. Images of Rotatio are circular — wheels of various kinds, spirals, circles, and the Ouroboros (serpent eating its tail). The operation of Rotatio is in the final stage of [[Rubedo]].
