Underworld Process of Apotheosis.

Phanes, God of Light, entwined with
the cosmic serpent, stands on the 

fiery Egg from which he was born.

Underworld Process of Apotheosis.

New Skin, Holy Blood, Golden Flesh.

~

Exhausted, deflated into the Underworld,

my mind is voided, Observer forged;

stuck in Dark Matter of Prima Materia,

the archetypal and primordial Mother.

~

No energy from below or from above,

hermetically sealed, fire baptized;

in the vacuum of self atomization,

awaiting Blood to fill my New Skin.

~

Inside the "Helmet of salvation,"

Observer collapses emotional ideation;

air feeds the fire of distillation,

water into Wine by sublimation.

~

Nature abhors a vacuum in the Mind,

Mother turns red into Holy Blood;

elements compounding into Tria Prima,

the higher Self who lives forever.

(part 11)

Tria Prima: the three metalloid compounds of the higher Self.

"Mercury is the Spirit, Sulfur is the Soul, Salt the Body." (Paracelsus).

~

Immolation, Distillation, Solarization.

~

Burnt black into the Underworld,

mortido ebbs into Hades' realm;

Vulcan's forge of immolation,

Salamander burns like a dragon.

~

Black Sun of night's journey,

baptizes ego into unlearning;

from ashes of my elements,

refined Salt for a New Skin.

~

Hell is the portal to on high,

into Heaven's reddening sky;

elements are heavy, Metals light,

fire distils mercurial Spirit.

~

Water evaporates into our Wine,

fills the Grail of the Mind;

"Moon turns to Blood" uplifted,

Leaven for my rising Bread.

~

Observer, drunk on Quintessence,

Spirit of immanence transcends;

pregnant Darkness swells, crowns,

Luna gives birth to Solarization.

Painting by Dante Gabriel.

"Luna is really the mother of the Sun, which means, psychologically,
that the unconscious is pregnant with consciousness and gives birth to it."
Carl Jung (Mysterium Coniunctionis).
