Their significance as symbols of unity and totality is amply confirmed by history as well as by empirical psychology. Having said all this, Jung, who places a great deal of importance on symbols and metaphors, could not have overlooked alchemy as a metaphor for the process of individuation that every human being is committed to throughout their lives.
