Description
Illustration for my project MEF: Depression
In alchemy, nigredo, or blackness, means putrefaction or decomposition. The alchemists believed that as a first step in the pathway to the philosopher's stone all alchemical ingredients had to be cleansed and cooked extensively to a uniform black matter.
In analytical psychology, the term became a metaphor 'for the dark night of the soul, when an individual confronts the shadow within."

It's really awesome !! It suits perfectly with a text I wrote (thinking about alchemy, I used the metapher of putrefaction to describe a deep psychological malaise) ! Might I use it to illustrate it on my blog ?
спасибо !
