Novel Peter Pan and Wendy(1921) is primarily intended for children but it can be interpreted much more broadly This paper deals with the Wendy as a female archetype. This is a Jung's archetype of anima, ancient the Great Mother and fertility. Also, in context of alchemy Wendy could be interpreted as one of key elements in the transformation, i.e., Quicksilver. Transformation is a motif that runs throughout the entire novel. This transformation can be interpreted as a process of growing up, traveling and transformation of metals as well as a resurrection (physical and spiritual). The beginning of the journey is related to nigredo stage, the blackening and the decay where the soul leaves the body to be purified once again united with it
