Shedding the Old Skin

The Orphic Egg or "Seed of the Word."

~

"The sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood." (Rev 6:11-13)
~
Shedding the Old Skin
for the Spirit of New Wine.
~
The old wine or spirit of libido,
in the earthen skin of the inflated ego,
is the animal spirit of biological drives:
hunger, sex, and the will to survive.
~
Egocide is a death meditation, immolation,
Serpent ablaze with airy pressurization;
Kundalini blackens, the old skin deflates,
a wave of de-pression ebbs into Hades.
~
Shaman is devoured by Spirit's process,
his old thought-wave function collapses;
the Observer observes but does not react,
allows the Dragon to perform ancient magic.
~
He rides the wave of death and rebirth,
the old skin sheds as the New emerges;
baptized by fire, water changes into Wine,
a New Skin inflates, reborn of the Ocean.
~
Water element into Wine must be turned,
Spirit of Blood-Moon sublimated sublime;
earthen element of id metamorphosed,
into Mercury, Spirit of Luna distilled.
~
Libidinal energy is allowed to rise,
"seed of the Word" begins to pressurize;
the Serpent, Kundalini, expands with Wind,
fiery Pneuma that enLightens the mind.
~
The old skin darkens, feels like death,
deflation and depression as the ego is shed;
a shining memBrane awakens to Light,
from metamorphosis in the long, dark night.
~
Fiery Pneuma of the libido sublimated,
becomes the New Wine of Mercury red;
the Blood-Moon replaces the old Earth,
death is the prelude to Heaven's rebirth.
~
The Chariot of Luna flies to the Sun,
the Heavenly Marriage of Sol and Moon;
pours her Spirit into the golden Stone,
the Soul of Sulfur and New Skin divine.
~
The Solarization of consciousness dawns,
an eternal "Helmet of Salvation" reborn;
the Ouroboros is crowned, sealing the Wine,
Uraeus and Ra, Serpent-Sun All ashine.
*

Crowned Ouroboros.
The lower earth spirit (libido) becomes the winged
and crowned Spirit of Heaven, Mercury.
