The Psycho-Serpent

The Biscione Serpent rebirths the divine Filius, who passes through
 the ring-pass-not or golden crown, portal into the next kingdom.

The Psycho-Serpent.

(psycho, Greek psukhe = spirit, breath)

~

O writhing Creature of the Id,

Orphic Egg born and fire bred,

my Spirit elemental inside,

Ouroboros of the churning mind.

~

Devouring its tail of ignorance

into its head, Ego conscience;

slowly turning green to gold,

nature unearthing its unearthly Soul.

~

Psycho-Serpent of life's essence,

forges its Pearl of transcendence;

the mind through metamorphosis,

changes thinking into a higher gnosis.

~

Wisdom in the form of a Snake,

Sophia, Isis, Lady of the Lake,

by understanding evil and good,

climbs the Tree to a better World.

~

We all suffer the spirit disease,

psychosis, the break from Reality;

Heaven is real, Earth but a cage,

the fallen Dove must make its escape.

~

White to red the Phoenix burns,

the holy fire no cage can intern;

quintessence processed and refined,

Spirit spreads wings, transcends time.

~

And so the Earth is left behind,

chthonic Creature is no-longer blind;

sheds the old skin of the Id,

then self-immolates its Ego-head.

~

The Pearl emerges, truth ashine,

Serpent raised and crowned divine;

devours itself whole unto death,

rebirths me from its fiery breath.

~

Mother of wombs, Matrix of All,

gestating the Sun, golden Orb;

completing her process of immanence:

nature's Homunculus, born of flames.

Cultivating homunculus in a retort (From Goethe’s Faust, 19th-century engraving).
"Let the semen of a man putrefy by itself in a sealed cucurbite." (Paracelsus)

The Homunculus or divine Filius, created in the alchemical

vessel of the hermetically-sealed mind; the product of nature's

alchemical wedding, the union of opposites. The recipe usually
starts with semen, the prima materia or primal matter of
instinctual/libidinal energy, the id of the fiery animal-spirit,
the magic dragon who forges the Child of Heaven.

enter the kingdom of heaven." (Christ).
