YOU ALL KNOW WHAT MERCURY LOOKS LIKE AT ROOM
TEMPERTURE ITS A SILVERY LIQUID THAT FLOWS, ITS
LIKE A MIRROR..FOR THE ALCHEMISTS MERCURY WAS
MIND ITSELF.. MERCURY TAKES THE FORM OF ITS CONTAINER.
IF I POUR MERCURY INTO A CUP, IT TAKES THE SHAPE
OF THE CUP... THIS TAKING THE SHAPE OF ITS CONTAINER
ISA QUALITY OF MIND.. WELL THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT MERCURY IS WHEN YOU POUR IT OUT ON A SURFACE AND IT
BEADS UP, THEN EACH BEAD OF MERCURY BECOMES A LITTLE MICROCOSM OF THE WORLD.. AND YET THE MERCURY FLOWS
BACK TOGETHER INTO A UNITY.

Terence McKenna, “Lectures on Alchemy“ 1998

… I remember Al Wong once said to me, we were talking about the yin yang symbol, and he said you know the interesting thing is not the yin or the yang, the interesting thing is the s shaped surface that runs between them..

And that s shaped surface is a river of alchemical mercury

Now, where the alchemists saw this river of alchemical mercury is in the boundary between waking and sleeping. There is a place, not quite sleeping, not quite waking, and there flows this river of alchemical mercury where you can project the contents of the unconscious and you can read it back to yourself.”

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol in Alchemy and Magic
of a serpent biting its tail, forming a circle. The “Tail-Devourer”
represents the eternity, regeneration and continual renewal of life.
Serpent skin shedding as symbol of rebirth, transformation,
immortality and healing. Guardian of the underworld.

The Ouroboros is
the Astral Light

THERE EXISTS IN NATURE A FORCE, KNOWN BY ANCIENTS;
IT CONSISTS IN AN UNIVERSAL AGENT WHOSE SUPREME LAW
IS EQUILIBRIUM AND WHICH IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE
GREAT ARCANUM OF TRANSCENDENTAL MAGIC; THE ASTRAL
LIGHT TRIGGER FUSION THE PROCESS WHICH LIGHT THE STARS THEMSELVES.

“The magical serpent, the son of the sun,
was about to devour the world,
when the sea, the daughter of the moon,
set her foot upon his head and subdued him.“

The woman

shall crush the
serpent’s head

OR A MADMAN; HE IS A SICK MADMAN WHO
HAS HEALED HIMSELF.”
