THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS A symbolic perspective on the remedy LILIUM TIGRINUM

This article describes the patterns and meaning I perceived in the remedy by weaving together the threads of the symptoms of the proving with the insights that prompted me to make sense of it, existing materia medica, and similar understandings I subsequently discovered elsewhere. It’s an interpretation of the remedy, as well as an account of some of the actual symptoms it produced. It uses Jung’s perception of the individuation process and his perspective on symbolism as a conceptual framework, along with the Eastern yogic concept of the energetic anatomy of the body (the chakras) and its “circular power” (kundalini) which is the individual’s evolutionary force. It’s assumed readers have some familiarity with both models.
