C. G. Jung carved a memorial stone in Chinese for Toni Wolff after her death in 1953. Why he carved a memorial stone in Chinese for his “spiritual wife” is unknown. Efforts at deciphering Jung’s intentions in the Chinese characters he chose, in particular, one that is a novel character of Jung’s own creation, have been inconclusive. This study offers a new interpretation of Toni’s Stone in the light of Chinese linguistics as well as Wolff and Jung’s knowledge of Kundalini yoga, Tibetan mysticism, synchronicity, Goethe, alchemy, and the Philosophers’ Stone
