Water into Wine

My depiction of an alchemical Ouroboros.

Turning Water into Wine.
(Ye Olde Secret Recipe for the 
Sophic Nectar of Immortality.)
~

Activate the spiral seed,
the id of instinctuality;
the Ouroboric spirit
asleep in the primal deep.
~
Elemental waves
flow as libidinal life;
The hydra Serpent roused
stokes the secret fire.
~

~
Four spirits divided:
earth, water, fire, air;
each one separately known
must into One repair.
~

Raise the sleepy Dragon 
upon the staff of spine;
conscious to distil
Christic fire into Sophic wine.
~

~
"The Sun darkens,

the Moon turns to blood." (Acts 2:20)
The light of consciousness
cools and condenses into love.
~
A fifth spirit of Quintessence
intoxicates the mind.
The Tail-Eater devours itself,
pneuma to nectar now refined.
~

~
The Ouroboros crowned,
seals the circulation;
the Serpent-Sun is born,
the Pearl of its creation.
~

~
The Green Man, the All,
Spirit in nature dawned,
becomes the Word, remembered,
horns into Crown transformed.
