Reminds me of the Renaissance era Great Chain of Being and Christian interpretations of the Kabbalah. The metal aspect brings to mind Mircea Eliade - The Forge and the Crucible, as well as Jung's Psychology and Alchemy. Transmutation is involved so that means The Hermetic Corpus, and various Western esoteric thinkers. Anyway, just my free association. Great article
