“They have compared the “prima materia” to everything, to male and female, to the hermaphroditic monster, to heaven and earth, to body and spirit, chaos, microcosm, and the confused mass; it contains in itself all colors and potentially all metals; there is nothing more wonderful in the world, for it begets itself, conceives itself, and gives birth to itself.” - Lazarus Zetzner © (Theatrum Chemicum)

Primä Mäteriä

Alchemical androgyne - cinnabar, is one of the most important images of alchemy, alchemy speaking incarnation purpose - unity of sulfur and mercury, as a primary element. Acquires through the compound is dissolved in it male and female bases, androgynous principle contains within it the seeds of all things. Hermaphrodite refers to the process of alchemical transmutation, or the "Great Work." The king and queen are united in the fire of love, and from their union there is perfection - the philosopher's stone, a catalyst capable of transmuting base metals into gold - it is the key to enlightenment. The main motivation of the alchemist to participate in the "Great Work" is the desire by studying nature and its processes, "to use this knowledge to reach the Creator." 

Ænigma Regis (The Red King)

Ænigma Regis (The White Queen)

Three alchemical principles of "Tria Prima" define human individuality. "Sulfur" embodies the soul, which is understood like feelings and desires. "Salt" represents the body. "Mercury" embodied the spirit of covering the imagination, judgment on the morality and the higher mental faculties. "Man does not see the action of these three substances as they relate by life, but it can recognize their properties when the mold is destroyed. Invisible flame is contained in the sulfur, soluble element in the salt, and volatile elements in the mercury. The fire is burning, mercury gives smoke, salt remains in the ashes; but as long as the form is alive, there is no fire, no ash, no smoke " - Paracelsus © (Philip Aureolus Theophrastus von Hohenheim Bombastus)

Finally! We are pleased to present you the fourth and final part of our musical epic devoted to alchemy - one of the most mysterious and ancient occult sciences of the world! 

I have already indicated that all things are constituted of three essences - namely, mercury, sulphur, and salt - and herein I have taught what is true. But know that the Stone is composed out of one , two , three , four , and five . Out of five - that is , the quintessence of its own substance. Out of four , by which we must understand the four elements. Out of three , and these are the three principles of all things. Out of two , for the mercurial substance is twofold. Out of one, and this is the first essence of everything which emanated from the primal fiat of creation. But many may by all these discourses be rendered doubtful in mind as to what they must start with, and as to the consequent theory. - Basilius Valentinus © "Duodecim Claves" 

"The Pentagram" (Aleister Crowley) 

In the years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth, 
Man mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the Lord of the Earth. 

He made him an hollow skin from the heart of an holy tree, 
He compassed the earth therein, and Man was the Lord of the Sea. 

He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire;
He drove the celestial team, and Man was the Lord of the Fire. 

Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the aeons declare 
The last of the demons defeated, for Man is the Lord of the Air. 

Arise, O Man, in thy strength! The kingdom is thine to inherit, 
'Til the high Gods witness at length that Man is the Lord of his Spirit.
