Anything that is rightly known, such as in experiencing Gnosis, can be rightly used. Only through knowledge can service be fulfilled and divine purpose be manifested with material affairs improved. Acquired knowledge, remains in its "childhood" if it is not projected or expressed for the ongoing evolution during the Soul incarnation. As ruler of Gemini, Mercury is exalted (matured) in Virgo because knowledge is matured in being put to use.
Mercury has rulership of two mutable signs: Gemini and Virgo, Air and Earth respectively. The glyph represents the planet Mercury in astrology, Mercury as alchemical quicksilver, and as the magical element mercurius.Alchemically, Mercury is analogous to the human spirit, and one of the three major alchemical principals, with sulfur and salt. The symbol predates the god, having previously in use as an emblem of the Punic Goddess Tanit. This glyph derives from an ancient Greek drawing representing the winged sandal or the caduceus wand of the messenger God Mercury (Hermes). Speed and mobility were characteristics of the Greek-Roman god, Mercury (Hermes), who served as a messenger of knowledge to all the other gods and shares his name with the planet nearest the sun. Mercury is also known as "quicksilver," a reference to its mobility and used as the physical symbol to represent the Azoth or fire-water in ancient alchemy. Mercury's chemical symbol, Hg, comes from the Greek "hydrargyrum" meaning liquid silver. In the natural laws, all forms of energy are transferable from one source to another.Įach civilization had its own legends about Mercury (Alchemy), and it was used as everything from a medicine to a talisman. When the raw material of the Earth unites with the Cosmic Womb of Mother, the divine fire water or Azoth is manifested. Also, on the earth in the physical plane, Mercury is described as a water element. Rising up out of the Cosmic womb of the Creatrix Field, is a partial form whose features are not yet determined as the raw substances undergo purification under each Law of Alchemy to reach the final Magnum Opus.The light-energy of the Solar Force is the source all life and thus in alchemy considered the Universal Mercury.
As sulphur is the symbol for the active principle, mercury is the symbol of the passive principle.The symbol of Mercury is the cosmic womb being incubated by the cross of the four elements of creation - earth, air, fire and water. In the ancient art of alchemy, such as in Hermeticism, Mercury, sulfur, and salt were the Earth's three principle substances that represent the trinity in creation.
