This is the only one you need.
Jung read acres of the source material, so you don't have to. He concluded that alchemy is bunk, and merely a metaphor for psychological processes.

Get a translation of Hermes Trismegistus's Hermetica. It's the foundational text for the topic,

He was only interpreting alchemy through the lens of psychology. Alchemy itself is beyond psychology.

>>24793118
Evola's book is perhaps a good introduction but if your interest in alchemy is beyond research for fun I would study metaphysics and spirituality in general because you might get what you really want outside of alchemy, and alchemy itself could likely be better understood through doing this. I suggest this because the understanding and commentaries on alchemy availableseem (?) to be limited
