THE TREASURE OF ALCHEMICAL TREASURES

The Red Lion: Essence of the Great Alchemical Work

The essence of the Great Alchemical Work was the union of sulfur and mercury to produce the philosopher's stone. But the correspondence was philosophical sulfur and mercury. The union was represented as a marriage, and sulfur and mercury, which themselves were symbols; as king and queen, sun and moon, gold and silver, the red lion and the white eagle.

The "Red Lion" is also frequent in alchemical iconography of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, symbolizing matter prepared for the Great Work.

Paracelsus, the great alchemist of the 16th century, called the prima materia "The Spirit of Truth...of a mysterious nature, wonderful force, unlimited power...this Spirit moves all bodies...Many seek it and few find it."

The Red Lion is Christ after His Death, the resurrected Christ who appears to the Apostles transfigured. It is the Sol Invictus, whose emblem is Leo, eternal star shining in the hearts of his children. The lamb is the white color of the alchemists, the lion is the red that seals the Great Work.

In alchemy, it corresponds to the "fixed" element, to sulfur. Opposed to other three animals, it represents the earth, although in other texts it is called "philosophical fire", while gold is given the name of "lion of metals". The red lion is the one that most properly responds to this latter meaning.

MAGIC, ALCHEMY AND INITIATION

One of the most interesting characteristics about alchemy is that magical rituals are related to the alchemical process. In fact, this type of information is very scarce in classical alchemical texts. However, one of the magical instructions concerning alchemy that can be found is in a very ancient and unique text titled: "Testamenti Fraternitatis Rosae et Aureae Crucis - Liber II: De Magia Divina et Naturali, cum Chymico-Magicae Secretorum".

The process described in this document is an internal alchemical practice using "Potable Gold" related to the evocation of the seven Planetary Intelligences and the Guardian Angel of the Creator. It must be emphasized that all these magical practices, or better said theurgic, were always possible after achieving the Philosopher's Stone, which was used as a type of "astral magnet" to communicate with spiritual entities.

It must be known that the ingestion of the Philosopher's Stone or the "Red Lion" Potable Gold can be dangerous for unprepared people, because these substances awaken what the ancient Rosicrucian Adepts called "the subtle fires of the body" (kundalini). This is the reason why Adepts never give the Elixir, or Potable Gold, to unprepared students and young people, but only to experienced students, at least 40 years of age and only after years of training.

Recommended Preparation

WHO WERE THE CATHARS?

The Perfects, as they were known, appeared in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria), as a consequence of the degradation and greed of the Catholic Church, already governed by the Pope at that time. Anyone who did not accept the authority of the Church and acted according to its precepts was declared a heretic and condemned to the stake. The Cathars not only taught ancient traditions, but also rejected ecclesiastical sacraments, even marriage.

The Pure Ones were very popular among the people due to their impeccable conduct and compassion. The Cathars were divided into 2 categories:

• THE ADEPTS, also known as "Superior Anonymous", who were believed to be spiritual entities incarnated for a specific mission at that time. Detached from the mundane, they were famous for being powerful healers who infused the Holy Spirit.
• THE DISCIPLES, who enjoyed all facets of human life, including sexuality and procreation. All Cathars were vegetarians.

While Europe lived under a feudal system, with the vast majority of people suffering misery and hunger, the Cathars taught about the abolition of castes and their true value. Jews, considered pariahs, were welcomed into the Order. The Cathars believed in reincarnation, Astrology, and celebrated the Equinoxes.

DIANA DE POITIERS AND HER SECRET OF ETERNAL YOUTH

Diana was undoubtedly the great love of Henry II, and she forgave him minor infidelities such as when she was ill and he dallied with Mary Fleming, the governess of Mary Stuart. Diana's influence extended to her lover's daughters, scheming for Claudia to marry the Duke of Lorraine and Elisabeth with the odious Philip II of Spain.

After Henry II's death, Catherine de Medici fought with Diana to demand the return of the crown jewels that the deceased had deposited in her hands years ago, and subsequently the furious widow confiscated Chenonceaux Castle from Diana, forcing her to retire to Anet, where she died at the age of 66 with an intact figure and without a wrinkle on her face on April 25, 1566.

According to Brantôme, Diana de Poitiers, the favorite of Henry II, remained very beautiful at an advanced age, thanks to regular physical exercise, a very simple diet, and various natural skin care, including a potion of Potable Gold.

THE RED LION AND ITS EFFECTS

The Red Lion contains 99.99% monatomic gold, which is transformed using a traditional method practiced by the Cathars.

This elixir powerfully increases the coherence of our nervous system, allowing better integration of our Merkaba (light body) with our physical body.
