CHAPTER XIV

J N the beginning the Elohim created the substance of the Heavens and the substance of the Earth. And the Earth was without form and void, and dark- ness was upon the face of the Abyss and the Ruach Elohim vibrated upon the face of the Waters.”
Such are the first two verses of the Book Berashith— which we call Genesis—according to the Hebrew. On these words alone, and their implications and meanings, a book might be written, but we would only here draw the reader’s attention to the word Ruach, whose implications we have to some extent discussed in an earlier chapter, adding here the fact that the gender of the word is feminine, which will explain some of the allusions in many of the previous quotations. Also to the words Abyss and Waters, which are both rendered by the same word in the Hebrew. ‘This word is Thehom, and contains in itself the two ideas of “‘ the formless” and “‘ water,’’ whence it might aptly be translated here as *‘ formless waters.”’
This is the Virgin Water of the Alchemists, and Thomas Vaughan tells us that when the philosophers practised upon the Chaos itself, that is to say upon the 126
THEURGY
Formless and Void, they opened it and saw the Pre- existent Countenance of the Triad, and saw that all things here below, the Water of Mundane Life as it is elsewhere called, was a ‘Thick Water, which is a term much used in Alchemy.
The apparent stark absurdity of the statement that the philosophers practised upon the Chaos will be elucidated later. For the moment we will consider this Thick Water. We find it mentioned in 2 Maccab- bees, 1, 19-22, where the Sacred Fire was buried in a secret pit. On the return from the captivity it was found to have turned to a thick water, from which, however, the Fire was extracted.
In support of this analogy we find that the Sepher Yetzirah, or Book of Formation—which, as we have said, is one of the oldest books of the Qabalah, and is attributed by legend to Abraham, though its author in all probability was Rabbi Akiba—in describing the Creation says that Fire was derived from Water.
There is, of course, an obvious analogy between Thick Water and Gum, which is another term for it. It is also called White Mercury—Mercury giving quite a good parallel—and we note that there is a White Gum and that Permanent Water is White. Permanent Water is also called Igneous, while Mercury is Water of Sulphur, which may very well be taken to mean “containing Sulphur or Fire,” and Hermes in the Golden Treatise says “‘ Conserve in that Sea the Fire.”
127
THEURGY
This Water, then, that is to say Permanent Water, is the First Matter, ‘“‘ which is that waterish substance which wets not the hands.” ‘“ It looks like a Green Lizard,” says Lully, “‘ but its most prevalent colour is a certain inexpressible azure.’ Hereby he denotes its watery nature, both by the colour blue, and the fact that the Lizard probably represents Scorpio, which in good symbolism is Aquila, the Eagle, the Kerubic Emblem of Water and the Alchemical Emblem of Distillation. Lully continues, “ ‘The predominant element in it, however, is a certain fiery, subtle earth, whence it is often called earth, causing much con- fusion ; but this is the viscous or slimy part.” And as it is said to be impregnated by the Sun it is spermatic and is called a Sperm of Earth.
This is also Sperm of the World, Catholic Magnesia, the T'wofold Mercury or Azoth, Vinegar, Clean Water, Divine Water, Sea Water, Virgin’s Milk and Mist. And here we would remind the student of the Mist that went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground mentioned in Gen. ii, 6.
We will now take the analogy of Gum, which gives us a good parallel—being a vegetable excretion— especially if we consider the idea of the Sperm or Seed just mentioned. ‘This will also afford us the promised elucidation of the apparent absurdity of operating on the Chaos, for according to Vaughan the original Seminal Viscosity, Sperm or Seed from which the 128
THEURGY
World was made, disappeared in the Creation, for it was the Waters of Creation upon which the Spirit or Ruach Elohim brooded or vibrated in the beginning, transforming it into the World. The World, however, now yields us a secondary seed, which is the very same essence or substance with the primitive general one— the description of which, by the way, tallies rather well with ectoplasm. This Seed, says Vaughan, is abstracted in its heavenly, universal form by vegetables, which attract it at their roots as it comes from the air in Dew. This Sperm is generated from the mixture and marriage of the inferior and superior natures in the vapours.
Let no one be misled by any such statements into thinking that any common vegetables are meant, for it is quite otherwise. As well might the Tree of Life be mistaken in the same way. We are dealing here, as we have dealt all along, with one only thing; one matter, one vessel, one furnace, one laboratory.
But to resume. We have thus been led up to a consideration of Dew, a most important symbol, than which, perhaps, no better symbol of the Alchemical process can be quoted. The Alchemists, in their use of it, regard the air as a vast circulatory, whose upper reaches are extremely rarified. In it is involved all the idea of the action of opposites on one another, for fire and water, that is to say heat and moisture, are always busy with one another, and according to Anaxagoras
I 129
THEURGY
in the Turba, the thickness or spermatic part of the fire falls into the air. The thickness or sperm of the air, and in it the thickness and sperm of the fire, falls into the water, and all these fall upon the earth, with which idea we should compare either body, soul and spirit, or the Qabalistic notion of the triple division of the soul as outlined in Chapter IT.
Now the water is here to be taken as the middle nature between the air and the earth, the former, in ancient symbolism being hot and moist, and the latter cold and dry, while the water is cold and moist.
On a higher level the air is the reconciler between the water and the fire, so that thus the air becomes what we have already termed it, a vast circulatory where the inferiors and superiors meet like agent and patient, or, as some of the Alchemists express it, where Sulphur and Mercury are mingled.
Here things are said to be resolved into general principles by the action of wind, which is, of course, vibration, contrition and so forth. ‘This resolves them into moisture, the prime element of creation, as it were, which then descends as dew, so that we have a per- petual rarefaction and condensation, or circular process going on, that which is generated in the air being taken up by the water, which acts as the body.
Now by dew, however, is not meant common dew, as with all substances treated of in Alchemy ; but it serves to illustrate the sublimation of the volatile part, 130
THEURGY
which, ascending, is acted upon by that which is its higher counterpart, of which it absorbs something, and then, becoming refixed, descends again into earth or body which it is able to some extent to purify, having been itself in some measure purified.
We have not treated this section in nearly as full a manner as it deserves, but it may nevertheless be seen from what we have said that water is sometimes called fire, and why this should be.
This fire involved in air, which is collected up by the water, is called Starry Milk or Air of Luna, so that water is like a flying bird, and the milky moisture which is found in her crystal breasts is called Milk of Birds, and thus some of the philosophers have said that *‘ Birds do bring their Stone unto them.” Fish are said to do the same thing, for they live in the Water.
And the air, which involves in itself a fire, is the Pneuma, Breath, Spirit or Ruach. But the symbol of Ruach Elohim is Fire, which, in the Soul is the Qabalistical Neshamah, the Higher part, by the Fire or Sulphur of which the Nephesch or lower part must be purged.
Now following the analogy of Dew and the evapor- ation of water from the earth into air, which it, as it were, dissolves and which contains fire, we must distil from the gross earth of our material natures the Nephesch, the subtle or watery part, which shall dissolve the volatile or airy part or Ruach, containing
131
THEURGY the Fire, Neshamah. When this falls upon the earth
as dew it will commence its purification.
There is in the Qabalah much about this Dew, but it is too technical for anything but a passing reference. It is said that from it the dead are raised up, and by dead is meant, in the mystical language of the Zohar, fallen.
To explain the sublimation of the essences with the matter in the foregoing, Vaughan and others postulate the Archeus or Central Sun, “* For where the rays of the one and the other meet, the central, breaking through to meet the celestial, suffers a sort of ecstasy,” says Vaughan, ‘“‘So then, in winter, the face of the earth being as it were sealed, Magnesia is generated, but in spring and summer it ascends more freely.”
This compounding of watery and airy natures has doubtless given rise to the term Green Stone, though some say it should be Green Lion. This curious beast is also the Poisonous Dragon of whom Hermes says in his Golden Treatise, “‘ In every nature there is first the needful water, then the oily tincture and lastly the foeces or earth which remains below. But a Dragon inhabits all these, and they are his habitation, and the blackness is in them, and by it he ascends into the air. But while the fume remains in them they are not immortal. ‘Take away, therefore, the vapour from the water, and the blackness from the oily tincture and death from the fceces; and by distillation thou shalt 132
THEURGY
achieve a triumphant reward, even that in and by which the possessors live.”
Now the Water, the Oil and the Earth are the hidden intrinsical natures, and in this sense every element is threefold. The Dragon is the self-willed spirit, as we have already said, which in its normal mode, resulting from the fall, is a poisonous nature and destroys all that it touches. This poison is the fume which is to be taken away. It is not one with the blackness which is in them, for this has a practical meaning linked with the dissolution at the end of the quotation, here given as distillation.
The oily tincture is Sulphur, for Hermes adds in the next paragraph, “The temperate unguent, which is Fire, is the medium between the foeces and the water, and is called the perscrutinator of the waters. For the unguents are called Sulphurs, because between fire and oil and the sulphurs there is close propinquity ; even as fire burns so does sulphur also.”
‘The Dragon, to revert to him again, is salt in the impure state, also our Green Lion, so that this latter is synonymous with all those other terms which have been given in Chapter IV, and also with the Magical Earth, the Flos Salis Albi or Flower of White Salt, the White Sand and so on, for it is not specified always at what stage it is alluded to, and it must be borne in mind that in the Great Work nothing is added, only superfluities removed.
133
THEURGY
And this Magical Earth is that in which is the recreative fire, the “‘ Land of Havilah where good gold is,” which is Martian and Fiery. This is the Fire that coagulates the parts, and the Salt is the water that wets not the hands, the Magnesia that was exhibited in the Mysteries.
Thus we come at length to the end of our investiga- tion, and we can but hope that it has not proved too disappointing to the reader, and that it will not be thought that too liberal a use has been made of quotations. Our object has been throughout to lead him to a study of this most fascinating and—as we consider it—all important subject, and to persuade him that the writings of the philosophers, despite their envious complexity, will well repay him for the pains to which he may be put in their perusal.
We may therefore, perhaps, be forgiven if we conclude by giving him two further extracts, which we will leave to his consideration without comment. The first is from the Fourth Parable of the Splendor Solis of ‘Trismosin.
“This (Dissolution) the Philosophers give to under- stand in the following Signature or Figure: They saw a man black like a negro sticking fast in a black, dirty and foul smelling slime or clay ; to his assistance came a young woman, beautiful in countenance, and still more so in body, most handsomely adorned with many-coloured dresses, and she had wings on her 134
THEURGY
back, the feathers of which were equal to those of the very finest white Peacock, and the quills were adorned with fine pearls, while the feathers reflected like golden mirrors. On her head she had a crown of pure gold, and on the top of it a silver star ; around her neck she wore a necklace of fine gold, with the most precious Ruby, for which no king would be able to pay; her feet were clad with golden shoes, and from her was emanating the most splendid perfume, surpassing all aromas. She clothed the man with a purple robe and lifted him up to his brightest clearness, and took him with herself to Heaven.”
The second is a recipe for the Medicine from Thomas Vaughan. This has unfortunately been described by a modern commentator in the following terms: “I must confess to a feeling that this recipe is a jest or a kind of parody on the ridiculous processes given by pretenders in Alchemy.” We feel that the intelligent and not merely superficial reader will take a different view, and that the measure of his approval will indicate the measure of his understanding. It is given thus :
‘Ry. Ten parts of celestial slime. Separate the male from the female and then each from its earth, naturally, however, and without violence. Conjoin after separa- tion in due, harmonic, vital proportion. The soul, descending straightway from the pyroplastic sphere, shall restore its dead and deserted body by a wonderful embrace. The conjoined substances shall be warmed by
135
THEURGY
a natural fire in a perfect marriage of spirit and body. Proceed according to the Vulcano-Magical Artifice till they are exalted into the Fifth Metaphysical Rota. This is that Medicine about which so many have scribbled but so few have known.”
