IONA MILLER, consultant and transdisciplinarian, is a nonfiction writer for both the academic and popular press, hypnotherapist (ACHE) and multimedia artist. Her work is an omnisensory fusion of science-art, chaos theory, plenum physics, and emergent paradigm shift melding experiential psychotherapy, new physics, biophysics, philosophy, cosmology, healing, creativity, qabalah, magick, metaphysics, intelligence and society. She has an extensive background in magical and alchemical text and their Jungian background, including THE MODERN ALCHEMIST: A Guide to Personal Transformation (1994), which discusses several alchemical operations in contemporary terms.

The same processes which motivated both Lambspring and St. Germain's Triangle Book manuscripts are still active in each of us, although we may not be consciously aware of them. This book is a description in alchemical terms of the process of psychological transformation.
This process was shown by C.G. Jung to be analogous to the process of individuation or coming-to-wholeness, experienced by many modern individuals. Hermetic philosophy is the common ground between alchemy and depth psychology. It is a means of acquiring a working relationship with the dynamic forces of the subconscious and the divine process represented by the Self.

The Light shines upon Alchemy at last!, May 12, 2005 | Reviewer: | J.R.R.Abrahão (aka) "Mad Abe" "jrra" |
I just read the last sentence on this most amazing book and I feel it changed me forever - and for better. I've read all the other works by Richard Alan Miller (and the ones by Iona Miller, too), and all those books are very good at least in the path, to say so. But this book astonished me! I'm a rather complex person.Today, I feel the effects of my past experiences upon my life. With my operational background, it seems surprising to some that I'm an occultist, or a magician, if you will. Alt. I'm an author of several books on Magick, I'm still after the "Light" on several obscure topics, some of them that really haunt me day after day. C'mom, I'm not "Average Joe", and as such many complex things haunts me and I can not leave them alone.
Untill reading this "Magnum Opus", I must say my understanding of Alchemy was not practical and in no way it can change anything on me. But this book tells it all, shedding Light on the most hermetical teachings, upon the most inner secrets, guarded for centuries from the human race. Richard and Iona Miller's book s the first one to show is everything about such secrets as Baphomet and it's message (Solve & Coagula), the Dragon, the Wolf and the Dog, the Prima Materia and Materia Prima, the Nigredo, the Solutio, Coagulatio, Sublimatio, Albedo, Rubedo, Coniunctio, Solificatio, Puer & Senex, the Devouring Father, Anima & Animus, the Ultima Materia, Archetypes, the Holly Guardian Angel, the reality about the Philosopher's Stone, the origins of The Book of Lambsprinck, plus the occult side of depression, phobias, anxiety and other modern "demons", besides the profiles of great Alchemy Masters of yesterday. Joel Radcliffe's alchemical illustrations are superb, and worth the book's price alone. I must congratulate the authors and publishers for this magnificent work. This is a must for any occultist's bookshelf. It is pure gold in book format.
The Cipher Text of the Triangle Book of St. Germain
This French text from the MPH bibliography appears to be provenance, describing whose collection it came from -- an earlier New York owner of the text, rather than a page of the MS itself on the magical rite.
