The four primary stages of alchemy:

1. **Nigredo (Blackening)**: This is the first stage, associated with decay, dissolution, or decomposition. It represents the breaking down of the base materials, symbolizing death, chaos, or the "dark night of the soul" in personal transformation. The material or the self must be purified and stripped of its impurities.

2. **Albedo (Whitening)**: In this second stage, purification occurs. The chaos and corruption of the Nigredo are cleansed, leading to clarity and enlightenment. It is associated with the uncovering of truth, spiritual awakening, and inner purification.

3. **Citrinitas (Yellowing)**: The third stage, sometimes omitted in certain traditions, represents spiritualization and the dawning of wisdom. It is associated with the solar or golden light of realization, where the material and spiritual realms start to unify.

4. **Rubedo (Reddening)**: This final stage signifies completion, transformation, and perfection. In this phase, the alchemist achieves the "Philosopher’s Stone," the symbol of immortality or enlightenment. It is the culmination of the process, bringing about harmony and the unification of opposites.

These stages also represent the psychological or spiritual processes of inner transformation, symbolized by the changing of the alchemical matter.
