Ever wonder why the alchemist laboratory is filled with dusty books bigger than a person’s hand? Why there is always elaborate apparatus and vessels filled with strange liquids. Often paintings show a model of the human anatomy in the corner. What can possibly all this mean? A bit of comedy relief is introduced in Goeth’s play on Faust. It is from the lines delivered by the court astrologer the audience of the play is introduced to some very important concepts in alchemy. Mars won’t harm his strength won’t last. Mars is used by the ancients to purify the ego of its illusions. The effervescent complexes that are not of the personality. They make one seem mercurial in mood. They are not you. The role of Mars is commanded through the prostatic ganglion in the lower part of the body. By focusing on this organ the mind can remove the false identities that inhibit our growth and ability to succeed. Our addictions to poisons have their root in these volatile impurities. The sense here is that the mind and body will not suffer their loss as they are unreal to ourself. Their is no fear of losing self. Mars achieves the victory of the mind and body. This false anxiety is a fetter than binds our minds in slavery. Once freed rejoice is possible. While Saturn’s great, but far away and slight. His metal we don’t greatly venerate, Light of worth, though leaden in its weight. This is a cipher. Saturn’s metal lead is the gland known as the Sacral Plexus. The word Sacred is implied in its name. So few realize what great a treasure they possess in their body. Far away and slight implies the gland’s spatial location with respect to the cerebrum. Slight means we don’t pay attention to its actual importance. The play calls attention to the most important organ in the Great Work. The energy of reproduction can be tapped to the creations of the mind. It is for this reason that masons are taught to treasure it in their symbols. Without lead no transmutation is possible. When Sun and Moon are conjoined fine, Silver and gold will make the whole world shine. A great clue to the role played by these two metals and why they must cooperate with each other. This can be achieved once the work of Mars is completed. The lines of the astrologer are written according to the proper steps employed in alchemical procedures. Silver and gold indicate that the Pituitary body and the cardiac plexus have to be coordinated. The astronomical phenomena of star conjunctions is note a mere coincidence. There is a physiological correspondence for glands in the nervous system. Conjunctions in the body have a profound effect on the body chemistry and the way we think. Palaces, gardens proud, and rosy cheeks.... The changes result in observable health on the body. Script of the Astrologer. These are the lines that the actress or actor should read aloud. Let the words vibrate in you. The Sun, himself, he is of purest gold: Mercury, messenger, of riches told: Venus has bewitched you all, and she Looks on you, soon and late, quite lovingly: The chaste Moon’s mood holds fast: Mars won’t harm: his strength won’t last: And Jupiter remains the loveliest sight: While Saturn’s great, but far away and slight. His metal we don’t greatly venerate, Light of worth, though leaden in its weight. Yes! When Sun and Moon are conjoined fine, Silver and gold will make the whole world shine: The rest as well in turn are all achieved, Palaces, gardens proud, and rosy cheeks: All this he brings this highly knowledgeable man: He can deliver, too, what nobody else here can. The alchemists always have a dictionary and an anatomy book when they read. When an alchemist speaks of transmutation the meaning is to change across the glands and organs of the body. A process far more complicated than heating of metallic gold in a crucible. The benefits are better and the rewards far greater.
