Alchemical Coagulation

Splendor Solis, 1532.

Alchemical Coagulation:

Spirit set in the Grail-Stone of the Soul; or,
Rubedo coagulates into the "Carbuncle of the Sun."

~

Heaven heaves the Wind of spiration,

pneumatic consciousness in circulation;

repeated behaviour stuck in commotion,

until the sol-like Soul is born "of the ocean."

~

Spirit flows, from waters unrefined,

into the Quintessence of alchemical Wine;

but this sacrifice of Holy Blood divine,

must be set golden, in the Grail-Stone ashine.

~

Coagulation solidifies the Spirit,

so it no-longer spills back into habit;

but stays transcendent in the Mind,

sealed by the Crown of the Soul on high.

~

Distillation circulates libidinal desires,

round and round consciousness flies;

until the essence of experience dawns,

no more to repeat the mistakes of the morn.

~

Amrita into the "Moon Goblet" of glass,

sheer clarity of vision held at long last;

seemingly empty with its crystalline glaze,

but also full with the meaning of days.

~

From the human swamp of green-life,

blackened, whitened, and reddened sublime,

a New Mind emerges earth to the Sky,

now set in Gold, the Spirit refined.
~
There before my very eyes, the Stone!
Lapis Exillis of my Soul atoned;
quantum Solid of the Zero Point, waving;
the archetypal "Rock of Ages" ever flowing.

*
1 Corinthians 10:4
"and they all drank the same spiritual water, flowing from a spiritual Rock that was always with them, for the Rock was the Anointed One, our Liberating King." 
~
"I AM DARK AND BRIGHT; 
I SPRING FROM THE EARTH AND I COME OUT OF HEAVEN.
 I AM WELL KNOWN AND YET A MERE NOTHING.
 ALL COLOURS SHINE IN ME AND ALL METALS BY THE BEAMS OF THE SUN.
 I AM THE CARBUNCLE OF THE SUN." 
-THOMAS VAUGHaN, COELUM TERRAe.

The Clach Dearg or Red Stone of the Stewarts:

a pure white rock crystal set in silver. Its ability to focus

 the rays of the sun gives it the name red or fire-stone.
