An alchemical dream about Coagulatio

Dream, Wednesday, December 7, 2022

I am on a pilgrimage, wading through shallow waters, trying to find something I lost.

A half-buried plane from long ago.

Something that came down from the spirit and wanted to be concretized. A thought, an idea, an inspiration.

I know it’s from my childhood. I know it is a piece of my soul. I stare at the marvel of it all.

Spirit to matter. Crashed and buried. Things lost can always be found.

An alchemical dream about Calcinatio

Calcinatio is the first process in Alchemy. It is the burning of prime matter into ash. This is from where the mythical phoenix rises. This is how you turn lead into gold. This is how you become something new.

Dream, Saturday, April 9, 2022

It was supposed to be a baptism, only my head was set on fire. This is how you purify yourself, they said. Burn all your scripts and schemas, and then start all over again. How many times can I transform before I die? I wonder. My head a funeral pyre. My potential reborn.
