Fire & Twin Waters
And Aurixara spoke, saying:
“[…missing…] the Elixir — that which moves me in rapture and stillness.”
Then the master spoke, saying:
“The Red descends as the river of becoming,
the White rises as breath toward the crown.
In their union, the Stone is anointed,
and the veil within is torn. […missing…] and neither dominates, then is the Stone made living. The priest does not enter,
nor does the king reign,
until the Bride has crowned him with flame.”
Aurixara said:
“I was taught to deny the fire.”
The master said:
“Those who fear the fire
do not know the flame is God’s
own longing to know itself —
the first I dividing the One,
that the Whole might return in wonder.”
And Aurixara asked:
“Then shall I offer the fire within me to the altar?”
The master answered:
“You are the altar.
You are the flame.
This is the mystery of (w)holiness:
the divided self made sovereign,
the feminine crowned with gold,
the masculine bathed in rose.”
