The Icarus Mistake

Icarus failed to appreciate that real transcendence
is gained through immanence.

The three metalloid compounds of the higher Self.
"Mercury is the Spirit, Sulfur is the Soul, Salt the Body." (Paracelsus)

The Icarus Mistake.
How to Fly into the Sun.
~
The Earth and Sun are incompatible,
so the elements must be transformed;
waxy flesh falls into unconsciousness,
drowns in the reservoir of id instincts.
~
Icarus should have flown via the Moon,
to coat his wings with a silver glow;
seal them with Mercury's fluid unction,
so the Sun can see its own reflection.
~
The wedding of Sol and Luna unites,
their marriage is a play of opposites;
transcendence and immanence sublime,
joined forever by their Child divine.
~
Four elements of the material world
must be transmuted into metalloids;
Salt, Mercury, and Sulfur on high,
the Tria Prima of the eternal Eye.
~
White-silvery Salt of crystal lucidity,
awakens the dreamer from his sleep;
Mercury is a shape-shifting Spirit,
flowing and beading like a watery Solid.
~
Sulfur of the Soul burns all before it,
except the Salamander of id awareness;
Salt is a new Body that cannot die,
id energy can only change its mind.
~
Fire of Sol is the prelude to Light,
Falcon of Horus and Child of Christ;
solidified Sulfur fixes id into Gold,
solarization of an Ideal Image honed.
~
The way to awaken the golden Dawn,
is to become lucid inside the dream;
myths are powerful spells believed,
cast upon us to fulfil our destiny.
