Ancient alchemists and hermetic philosophers often used mythological stories of legendary heroes or Semi-Gods to illustrate the universal alchemical process. The Egyptians referred to them as the marriage of Isis and Osiris and the birth of their son Horus, as the fruit of their divine union and consecration. The Greeks used almost all the divinities of their Pantheon to explain and at the same time conceal the Alchemical path that leads to the absolute. The Israelites used the epic of Moses which separated the Red Sea in two parts to reach the Promised Land And this is to teach the great mystery of divine creation. Christians followed the same trend by writing about the life, death and resurrection of their Master Jesus of Nazareth and the mysterious cult of Black Virgo. All this so as to reveal and conceal at the same time the alchemical hermetic science. Wherever we look east or west, all ancient civilizations have taught and left for posterity a sacred and secret hieroglyphic language that conveys certain esoteric knowledge intended for those who were ready and mature enough to put it into practice. More recently, following the same tradition, the medieval Templars left us an important wealth of knowledge in their cathedrals, yet everything about this natural science remains hidden under a thick blanket of religious beliefs, superstitions, myths, symbols, epics and hieroglyphics. For these reasons it is a very difficult science to understand, if not simply impossible, without the help of a safe guide. In the ancient, as well as in the recent Hindu tradition, adepts who had direct experience of the deity could convey the highest knowledge using simpler, unadulterated language with limited religious emotional momentum. They talked about ether, air, fire, water and earth, of warm and cold, dry and wet, of solid, liquid or fluffy. Through their experience they understood how man was the small but final reproduction or contraction of the great cosmos and called it the microcosm or small world, because everything that exists outside is reflected inside man, hidden in his subtle sidereal body. The rays of all the stars, the sun and the moon are present in us with the adaptation in the form of the living biological organs. God’s law interacts on all things, in all realms, following a corresponding and repetitive pattern of creation. Through grace and the practice of yoga, meditation and contemplation, these cosmic forces can be awakened from potential to actual and initiate the principle of knowledge. These cosmic energies have been described by sages as pairs of opposites, such as: male and female, Shiva and Shakti, hot and cold, sun and moon, gold and silver, earth and water, etc …. This dual divine energy is said to form the foundation of the spiritual body, omnipresent in all living and sentient beings; seers have called her the Great kundalini. It is represented as seven wheels or “chakras” aligned from the coccyx to the crown of the head and which are pierced and connected by three luminous channels shining with a spiritual fluid. The middle channel is called the star channel and corresponds to universal mercury, the right channel is the sun channel and corresponds to gold and the heart, and the left channel is the moon channel which corresponds to silver and the brain. The Alchemical path is therefore aimed at creating from a universal material called “Sal Metallorum” two universal essences or Quintessences which are a manifestation of the Hermetic  sunand Hermetic moon, a red one, one white, one the seed of gold and one the seed of silver. These two hermetic luminaries are the entire support and center of our life and breath. The moment we breathe, we absorb this celestial fire, which comes to us as polarized light or airborne luminous matter, enters us to become food for our soul and body. It is this luminous matter that continuously provides us with warmth and fervor throughout life. Nel processo alchemico di laboratorio, il primo luminare che viene estratto dalle Chaotic  universal watersIt is always the masculine principle, the red sun or ferment of gold, which regulates the heart and venous system. When this solar alchemical body or adamic earth is mortified with the waters of contrition, it dies, dissolves, goes into putrefaction and then is resurrected into a snow-white, glorious and luminous body. This white body is the universal female or Hermetic Moon of the Philosophers and is sublimated by its sun. Its virtues are the opposite of the sun: Cool or cold, very relaxing, calming refreshing. It relaxes, reduces excessive thinking, helps to concentrate, eliminating stress and anxiety. It brings peace, balance, harmony and a deep inner spiritual feeling. It has the ability to penetrate deep into the astral and physical human body. Gli Alchimisti lo chiamano il loro White gold. It is obtained by the grace of God, and is ruled by the Moon.
