‘I am the one Mercurius, the fiery water, the cold fire, who shines in the air above,
burns in the Earth below.
I run through the world yet no one sees me; I work wonders by the powers of Sun and Moon.
Rejoice for I am the Red wedding of Heaven and Earth from whom I rise new born.’
Patrick Harpur
___
‘Astrum is a Paracelsian term whose literal meaning is ‘star’ and which implies something like ‘quintessence’. Imagination is the astrum in man, the celestial or super-celestial body’
Lexicon of Alchemy (London 1612)
