Magic Magnetic Tilez is an innovative and interactive toy that combines the concepts of magnets and tiles to create endless possibilities for play and learning. These colorful tiles are made from high-quality plastic and contain small magnets on each side, allowing them to easily connect to one another. One of the key features of Magic Magnetic Tilez is its ability to encourage creativity and imagination. Children can use these tiles to build various structures, such as houses, towers, and bridges. The magnetic aspect of the tiles ensures that the structures are sturdy and will not easily collapse. This allows children to experiment with different designs and learn how to problem-solve if their creation does not work as planned.

Originally published in German in 1914, this work has also been published in English under the titles Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts and Alchemy and Psychoanalysis. Silberer applies psychoanalytic techniques to a Rosicrucian parable he refers to as Parabola taken from the second volume of Geheime Figuren der Rosenkreuzer aus dem 16ten und 17ten Jahrhundert.
This allows children to experiment with different designs and learn how to problem-solve if their creation does not work as planned. In addition to promoting creativity, Magic Magnetic Tilez also helps develop critical thinking and spatial skills. By manipulating the tiles, children can learn about concepts such as symmetry, balance, and spatial relationships.
Alchemy and Psychoanalysis
Early psychoanalysts Carl Jung and Herbert Silberer applied their knowledge of psychology to mystic symbols and occult topics. Their goal was a deeper understanding of the unconscious mind as it plays out in myth and legend and to ultimately find a satisfying answer to man’s purpose. The latter is not an uncommon goal for the mystic or occultist but to approach it with the mindset of a scientists or doctor delving into the human mind produces interesting results.
Works by Carl Jung related to Alchemy and Mysticism:
Carl Jung’s Red Book (Liber Novus) – In addition to being a pioneer in the field of psychoanalysis, Jung was also an artist who dabbled in mysticism. His “Red Book” (named for its cover) which he titled Liber Novus, drew from Jung’s exploration of his own subconscious. He processed these experiences into hand crafted paintings and calligraphy over the course of roughly fifteen years. While visitors would often see the red leather folio resting on Jung’s desk, it wasn’t until almost forty years after his death that the work would be available to the public. There are two notable editions currently available, a facsimile of the entire work including a translation and notes and a “reader’s edition” which reduces the bulk of the facsimile into a manageable copy containing just the translation and notes:

Reviews for "Magic Magnetic Tiles: A Toy that Grows with Your Child"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic magnetic tilez set. The tiles were supposed to easily stick together, but they kept falling apart. Even when I tried to build a simple structure, it would collapse within seconds. The magnets were not strong enough to hold the tiles together properly. It was frustrating and not at all enjoyable to play with. I wish I had spent my money on a different building toy.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Magic magnetic tilez set. The quality of the tiles was very poor. They felt cheap and flimsy. Many of the magnets were not aligned properly, resulting in gaps between the tiles when I tried to connect them. It was impossible to build anything stable or interesting. Additionally, some of the tiles had sharp edges that could hurt younger children. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The Magic magnetic tilez set was a huge disappointment for my kids. The tiles were not as vibrant and colorful as they appeared in the advertisements. The colors looked faded and dull. The tiles also had a strange smell, which was unpleasant. It seemed like a cheap knock-off version of other magnetic building sets. My kids lost interest quickly and went back to their other toys. I would not buy this product again.
4. Michael - 1 star - I bought the Magic magnetic tilez set for my son's birthday and it was a complete waste of money. The tiles were not durable at all. They broke easily when dropped or even when lightly bumped against each other. Within a few days, we had several broken tiles. The magnets were also weak, making it difficult to build anything that would stay together. This toy was not worth the price and I would caution others against purchasing it.
5. Emma - 2 stars - The Magic magnetic tilez set did not live up to my expectations. The tiles were smaller than I had anticipated, which made it difficult to create anything substantial. The magnets also didn't line up properly, causing the tiles to disconnect easily. It was frustrating to have to constantly readjust and reconnect the tiles while trying to build. The concept of the toy is great, but the execution fell short. I would not recommend this product.
