BOOK I of the Empyrean Cosmology Series
Sacred Geometry (Light Becomes Form)
A profound exploration of how consciousness crystallizes into structure — revealing the hidden architectural principles that guide creation, transformation, and the awakening of human potential.
BOOK II of the Empyrean Cosmology Series
Empyrean Cosmology: A Unified Architecture of Light and Esoteric Consciousness
Empyrean Cosmology is a structural, light-based esoteric system that reveals how consciousness unfolds from Unity into form and returns again through transformation. Drawing on Hermetic philosophy, depth psychology, alchemy, and sacred geometry, it offers a complete architecture of the soul—mapping the descent of Light, the formation of the Elements, the Tria Prima, the Planes of Consciousness, and the 24 Archetypes of Color.
This is not a reinterpretation of old symbols.
This is a new framework for understanding the nature of reality and the path of self-transmutation.
BOOK III of the Empyrean Cosmology Series
Alchemy of Color — The Archetypal Psychology of the Empyrean Cosmology
Alchemy of Color is the psychological companion to the Empyrean Cosmology—the point where its structural metaphysics descends into human experience.
While the Cosmology reveals how Light differentiates into the Creative Forces, Elements, and Planes of Consciousness, Alchemy of Color shows what happens when that Light becomes you.
At the intersection of the Elements (Fire, Air, Water, Earth) and the Tria Prima (Sulfur, Mercury, Salt) arise the 24 Archetypes of Color—distinct modes of consciousness that shape how individuals think, feel, act, create, relate, and evolve.
These archetypes are not personalities or zodiac signs.
They are structural patterns of Light made visible in human character and destiny.
Each archetype expresses a specific alchemical dynamic—how one holds energy, processes emotion, engages conflict, pursues vocation, forms relationships, and undergoes transformation. Together they form a map of inner alchemy: a guide to integration, individuation, and the awakening of one’s essential nature.
If Empyrean Cosmology reveals the architecture of reality,
Alchemy of Color reveals the architecture of the self—
a precise, living psychology that mirrors the very structure of creation.
BOOK IV of the Empyrean Cosmology Series
Transfigurational Psychology — The Seven-Stage Path of Inner Alchemy
Transfigurational Psychology is the operational heart of the Empyrean system—a seven-stage model that describes howconsciousness actually transforms. Where Empyrean Cosmology reveals the structure of reality and Alchemy of Colormaps the archetypal psyche, Transfigurational Psychology shows the alchemist’s journey in motion: the step-by-step evolution from fragmentation into integration, alignment, illumination, and eventual transfiguration.
Rooted in Hermetic philosophy, analytical psychology, cognitive development, and structural metaphysics, this framework unifies spiritual and psychological transformation into a single coherent process. Each stage refines a different dimension of the self—dissolving what is false, clarifying what is essential, integrating the divided, strengthening the aligned, and awakening the luminous.
This is alchemy expressed as lived psychology.
A practical map for healing, individuation, and the emergence of one’s highest nature.
Simple in structure. Profound in implication.
A guide for seekers, scholars, and practitioners who sense that inner change follows an intelligible, sacred pattern—and who are ready to walk it.
BOOK V of the Empyrean Cosmology Series
The Philosopher of Stones: A Handbook for the Gemstone Apothecary and Alchemy of Consciousness
The Philosopher of Stones is a groundbreaking exploration of the hidden architecture linking gemstones, consciousness, and the alchemical art of transformation. Building upon the foundations established in Alchemy of Color, this work reveals the complete metaphysical framework underlying the Gemstone Apothecary—where stone, symbol, psychology, and energy converge into a coherent system. Far more than a lapidary or metaphysical guide, the book uncovers the archetypal patterns encoded within gemstone forms, colors, and mineral structures, showing how these patterns mirror the internal geometry of the soul. Through a synthesis of Hermetic philosophy, esoteric psychology, and modern symbolic analysis, The Philosopher of Stones invites readers into a profound initiatory journey—one that transforms the intuitive use of crystals into a disciplined, contemplative, and powerfully effective path of self-realization.
BOOK VI of the Empyrean Cosmology Series
Empyrean Archetypes: The 24 Living Keys of Conscious Embodiment
“Empyrean Archetypes: The 24 Living Keys of Consciousness Embodiment” is a central volume in the Empyrean System by Christopher Evans, designed as a comprehensive guide to the twenty-four primary archetypal forces that govern human potential and spiritual evolution.
The book builds upon the foundational principles established in Alchemy of Color, where the Four Creative Forces (Fire, Air, Water, and Earth) intersect with the Six Alchemical Substances (Salt, Mercury, Sulfur, Antimony, Cinnabar, and Phosphorus). This intersection generates twenty-four unique archetypes, each representing a “Living Key” or a specific mode of consciousness embodiment.
BOOK VII of the Empyrean Cosmology Series
231 Gates: Tarot Keys to Alchemical Psychology
231 Gates: Tarot Keys to Alchemical Psychology is the next major expansion of the Empyrean system—a synthesis that reveals the hidden structural relationship between the Hebrew letters, the 231 Gates of the Sefer Yetzirah, the Tarot’s archetypal architecture, and the psychological map of inner alchemy.
This work uncovers the deeper grammar of consciousness: how each Gate represents a unique vibrational pairing of forces, how these pairings form the pathways of perception and transformation, and how the Tarot serves as a visual and symbolic interface for entering and working with these currents.
The result is a living bridge between ancient mysticism, modern psychology, and the alchemical Work of self-transfiguration.
Explored through vivid diagrams, rigorous correspondences, and a structural metaphysics aligned with the Empyrean Cosmology, 231 Gates offers a unified interpretive key to understanding:
how consciousness moves, combines, and differentiates
how archetypes form and evolve
how inner transformation follows intelligible pathways
and how the Tarot can function as a precise psychological instrument—not for fortune-telling, but for alchemy of the mind.
A map of creation.
A language of the soul.
A new architecture for the old mysteries.
Empyrean Cosmology Series
The Three Vows: A manifesto of Sacred Responsibility
The Three Vows is a concise yet powerful treatise on the ethical heart of inner alchemy. These vows—Purity of Intent, Purity of Conduct, and Purity of Presence—form a living code that aligns the practitioner with truth, sovereignty, and the Work of transformation.
Neither dogma nor doctrine, the vows are a personal covenant: a commitment to walk the path of Light with integrity, responsibility, and conscious awareness.
Desert Alchemist Series
The Desert Remembers
“The Desert Remembers” is a visionary tale of initiation set in the remote hot springs of Utah, where a solitary moment becomes a gateway to an encounter with a race of ancient Aquatic Beings. Gifted an indigo orb of living light, Christopher is drawn into revelations about consciousness, memory, and the deeper structure behind his alchemical work. Part mystical memoir and part metaphysical teaching, this short narrative offers a story-driven bridge into the experiential side of Alchemy of Color and the Empyrean System.

It allows creators to set fair prices, control their own distribution, update material freely, and maintain complete ownership of their intellectual and spiritual contributions.

The keystone symbolizes transformation, crucial for unity and wholeness in both alchemy and Jungian psychology. Coagulation, the final stage, embodies the integration of spirit and matter. In a fractured world, this concept encourages personal authenticity and communal integration, guiding individuals toward embracing differences to achieve a higher unity and stability.
The Spiral Path of Transformation

Transformation is a process akin to a spiral staircase, requiring the experience of each stage—fire, water, separation, and more—in sequential order. Skipping stages diminishes the outcome, as each step is necessary for growth. This cyclical journey fosters deeper understanding and renewal, leading toward the keystone of wholeness.
The Technemica: Hermetic Dialogues for the Future
The Technemica reimagines the ancient Hermetica for the modern age. Each dialogue takes a theme from the original Hermetic texts—creation, Nous, rebirth, unity, cosmic order—and reframes it as a conversation between a Renaissance Alchemist and a Superintelligent A.I. Rather than repeating old words, these exchanges present a new lens: information theory, virtual reality, algorithms, digital immortality, and the “cloud of minds” as modern parallels to ancient mysteries. The result is not a replacement of the Hermetica, but an invitation—showing how timeless questions of truth, soul, and the Divine still speak, even in the language of circuits and code.
“These dialogues are but reflections, a play of shadow and light meant to awaken curiosity. Those who wish to journey deeper into the mysteries of color, transformation, and the living tradition of alchemy may continue with Alchemy of Color, where the parables of light become living practice.”
