In alchemy there are symbols; it’s the shorthand of the art. The first symbol is a multi-purpose symbol, it is the circle. It has multiple meanings, first it’s the symbol for the Sun ; then it’s the symbol for the cell or drop of water. If you add a dot in the center of the circle; it represents the Sun with Venus in the act of transit across the Earth facing side of the Sun. If you add a yin yang by-polar sign of motion and attraction; it becomes the symbol of fertility and generation; through the action of ionization and bi-polarity. If the simple circle is surrounded by the serpent biting its own tail, it is the cell or drop of water; just as it is struck by light and begins its spin motion as a lens; in the process of revolution on its way to becoming a bi-polar drop; and an attractable and ionized cell.
Such is the secret symbology of the alchemist; in the practice of the art; such is the basis and beginnings of the practice of chemistry; and its connections between the terrestrial, and the astrological. Alchemy then is the al-chemy; or the observations and application of the astrological to the terrestrial chemistry of the elements; and the control of the fertility of every- thing; animal; vegetable; and mineral.
The next symbol is the symbol; or symbols; for the Moon; because no gravitation or motion of the cell or drop can proceed to the state of generation; without the Moon and its instigation of the breathing in of the breath of life. The monthly cleansing and re-instigation of fertility is mandatory in the cycle of life; and growth. Without the Moon, there would be no monthly cycle; in the minerals, vegetables, and animals of the Earth; no generation; no life cycle.
It’s very important to note that growth has both an inhale and an exhale to the breath. There is to be noted an underground growth when the Moon is under the Earth so to speak; and an above ground rise towards the heavens above; when the Moon is overhead in its monthly cycle. It’s most easily seen when we look at trees. The branches extend upwards when the Moon is on its rising side of its monthly cycle; and its roots extend out when the Moon’s pull is towards the underground on the downside of its cycle. That observation was what led to what is called the original sin in the garden of Eden; in the Bible. The seeking of control of the knowledge of all mineral; vegetable; and animals was the result of that knowledge; Eve’s mistake was making Adam aware of her observation; of her cycle. That was the cause and origin of the subjugation of women, and man’s efforts to dominate the Earth; and all life on it.
If you know and can control the fertility cycle of a thing, you have dominion over it; if you so desire. If you control the reproduction of any animal; or food source; then you have the power to feed or starve; mine and cast; grow and harvest; and in reality rule and direct all Human activities on Earth. Such is the reason for wars. Man’s biggest failure is his subjugation of women and the lack of recognition of the fertility cycle in relation to how it pertains to the minerals: and that’s a good thing, as it turns out. It’s a shame that so many women have bought into being dominated by the Man-God religion and have become producers of kids for the purpose of creating cannon fodder.
Thinking about it; I don’t know anyone that I think the world needs a reproduction or copy of ; myself included. If religious programming didn’t exist there would be no overpopulation program; women would have control of the sex and reproduction. There would be no Mass rape of the Earth ; and her resources. In a perfect world at any rate. As is demonstrated in the Australian outback the Aboriginal peoples and their consumption is limited to what they need; not what greed allows.
