An Alchemical Wedding: the Hermetic Seal of Sol and Moon (Solomon)

The Alchemical Wedding of
the" Grand Androgyne."

~

The round bread of Christ

rises up golden and sublime;

new wine in a new skin bright,

holy blood coagulates inside.

~

A shining stone issues forth

the elixir of eternal life;

the so-called "Sophic Hydrolith:"

the "WaterStone of the wise."

~

The fracture in my psyche

receives the healing balm.

Serpent tincture poisons my ego,

but means my Soul no harm.

~
The light of Union,
that once leaked into time;
within the marriage sealed,
can no-more be refined.
~

A living water beast, with violent air

and tongues of fire replete,

in a shining body of light

fuses and transforms complete.

~
Out of confusion and diffusion
the fallen light is gathered in.
The Serpent hood, crown, halo gold,
hermetically seals the spiralling. 
~

Four spirits wedded into One condensed;

a fifth quintessence distilled intoxicates my mind.

"The sun darkens; the moon turns to blood." (Acts 2.20)

In fusion their solution sealed divine.

*

The alchemical Androgyne.
(Codex Germanicus, 15th century)

Hermetically sealing in the sublimated energy of the fiery Serpent builds up the volatility of libidinal consciousness until an internal explosion detonates inside the alchemical alembic.

~

But, only refined or integrated libidinal energy can be "sealed" in the "New Skin" divine. Unrefined or unconscious libidinal spirit has not unfolded its potential, and so cannot be contained. Its unrealized energy will keep leaking back down into corporeality in order to seed forth and gestate in the ground of materiality.

~

Only the "New Wine" of Christic/Sophic consciousness can be Hermetically sealed inside the vacuum of quantum spaciousness. Each colour/quality of the Rainbow-Serpent must somehow be made conscious before the diffracted Light can return to its source in the Unified Field of Oneness.

~

So, once the spiritual colours/ qualities of love, power, freedom, beauty, joy, innocence, being, peace, etc, are made conscious, and are no-longer projected or blamed onto "other," then the pregnant Rainbow-Serpent can give birth to the "Flower of Mind," the Rose/Lotus of the divine Bloom, atop the waters of primordiality.
