Grail Castle Unlocked

Painting by Dante Gabriel

Grail Castle Unlocked. 

The Miracle of Levitation, alchemical Distillation,

and Golden Solarization. 

~

I cross-over by way of transcendence,

into the Sky Castle in a mystic trance;

Holy Key of the A.N.K.H. elements,

turning into three eternal Metals.

~

Through the double-slit Gates of Pearl,

I en-trance into a higher Realm,

my lighter Mind of the Observer,

metallic Salt of earth and water.

~

The Observer collapses lower functions,

sees through the spell of wavy emotion,

concentrates life's instinctual ground,

joins them into a crystalline Compound.

~

Lucidity of holographic observation,

gains me access to the Castle's dungeon;

where water and air change into Wine,

alchemical distillation of the Blood~Moon.

~

Heaven's Heave now lifts me on high,

into the tower beyond all time;

Fluidity of red Mercury, baptized;

on alchemy's Rubedo drunk and drowned.

~

Water is Wine, now lead into Gold!..

where the sWord in the Sun is forged;

airy ideation and fiery imagination,

compounded together, a golden Dawn.

~

Quantum Solidity on Heaven's horizon,

Sulfur's Bread of inner Solarization;

born of a Blood~Moon Oscillation,

the Wave collapses into a Stone.

~

If my hermetically-sealed Helmet leaks,

and Love falls again into words of doubt,

I will cast once more the true Spell,

the pass-"Word" into the Grail Castle.

~

A sWord is drawn from the Black Stone,

the Prima Materia chaos now honed;

potential realized into three Metals,

the Tria Prima wielded and upheld.

~*~

(from Splendor Solis, 16th century.)

Alchemical Dragons of a wild imagination, developing in the 

hermetically-sealed Mind of the Alchemist undergoing transformation.

~

Magic Child

~

You cannot enter the Grail Castle,

"unless you become like a child;"

full of imagination and innocence,

on wings of a Dragon he transcends.

~

My magic Spirit as a boy,

lost by falling into this world,

must be reclaimed by re-parenting,

nurturing a child's inner dreams.

~

Fiery intuition of kundalini rises,

into the Light of Sulfur fixed;

envisioning a Castle in the Sky,

my true Home located up on high.

~

A red Dragon is now required,

Spirit of Mercury from desire;

water turned to Blood~Moon Wine,

a child's Love from the Mother Stone.

~

The Dragon's Blood fills the Grail,

higher Mind of metallic Salt,

animal instinct and water compound,

Dragon's Pearl of a child reborn.

~

Observer child in a new memBrane,

silver Grail gilded by the Sun;

apple of the Father's Eye ashine,

green to Gold, filled with Love's Wine.

~

A zoomorphic transmogrification,

lifts the Spirit above creation;

on the wings of wild imagination,

a metamorphic transubstantiation.
