In the previous lectures about Alchemy we established a broad overview of the basic concepts and structures of practice in Alchemy, not the history and not the theories, but the actual material, energy, and consciousness involved in the process of Alchemy: what it means to transmute matter, energy and consciousness, to transform it completely. Alchemy is a science of transmutation; that means that it is a science of “thorough change,” which is what transmutation means.
Mercury Symbol and Meanings. The Mercury Symbol and its Meanings The Mercury symbol (shown above) can be a catalyst for our broader, symbolic view of this wholly engaging planet.
I love the look of this symbol, and how it offers us a tell-tale story of Mercury's personality. To wit, we see the crescent opening upward, a gesture of receptivity. This physical attribute of the Mercury symbol certainly falls in-line with the symbolic personality of this planet, as Mercury is the planet of open-mindedness, new ideas and intelligence. In astrological terms, Mercury rules the sign of Gemini who are prodigious thinkers and expert idea factories - punching out ever increasing concepts to the delight of everyone around them.

Its function was to hold the Minotaur eventually killed by the hero Theseus. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it.[2] In colloquial English, labyrinth is generally synonymous with maze, but many contemporary scholars observe a distinction between the two: maze refers to a complex branching (multicursal) puzzle with choices of path and direction; while a single-path (unicursal) labyrinth has only a single path to the center. A labyrinth in this sense has an unambiguous route to the center and back and is not difficult to navigate.[3] Labyrinths appeared as designs on pottery or basketry, as body art, and in etchings on walls of caves or churches.
Ancient labyrinths[edit] 'Labrys' was a cult-word introduced from Anatolia. Cretan labyrinth[edit]
