The Alchemical Wedding of Sol and Moon (Solomon)



The Alchemical Wedding.
~
The round bread of Christ
rises up golden and sublime;
new wine in a new skin tight,
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 water-beast, with violent air,
and tongues of fire replete,
in a shining body divine,
fuses and transforms complete.
~
Out of con-fusion and diffusion,
the fallen light is gathered in;
the Serpent hood, crown, halo gold,
hermetically seals the spiralling.
~
Four spirits into One condensed;
a fifth quintessence intoxicates.
"Sun darkens, Moon turns to blood;"
in Fusion their solution coagulates.
