![]() I have always loved its magical magnetic quality and how it will come together with separate drops of itself. Also known as quicksilver, it is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. This “trinity” that Sulphur holds is, I believe, a significant part of it’s magic! Another way Sulphur shows us it’s “blue side”, is that Lapis Lazuli owes it’s blue colour to a Sulphur radical. Sulphur shows us this special quality through the colours Yellow, Blue and Red … the bright yellow of its outward appearance, it’s inner essence of blood red, and the blue energy it emits when burning. (NOTE: Please do not try to do this without the proper experience and/or supervision.) There is something truly amazing about the crystals who have an outward appearance that is different to it’s essence. When burned, sulfur melts to a blood-red liquid and emits a blue flame which is best observed in the dark. These stones have come together in union – yes for the purpose of creating a “new” energy, but also to reveal something to us … look deep into their essence to discover what that wisdom is. Both are rare beings and both come to teach us of crystal alchemy. I was guided to bring 2 magical elements together to explore the magic of alchemy through the stone beings – sulphur and cinnabar. SULPHUR AND CINNABAR TUMBLED STONES FOR THE MAGIC OF ALCHEMY NOTE: My thanks and gratitude to James Collins of Alchymie.ca for permission to use his well researched and beautifully written information on the Three Principles of Alchemy. Chemically, it resides in the essential oils of the material you work with. Sulphur is the Male, active energy of the universe. Sulphur is the fire element, virtue of plant, representing the volatile oil essence of the plant. Sulphur was the principle of inflammability. In chemistry, this energy resides in the alcohol of the material you work with. In order for the energies of Life to transmit their influence into matter, Mercury is needed: It contains the Air of Life and the Water of Matter. It unites with the Sulfur to produce a Manifestation, whatever that may be (whatever you are trying to create). Mercury is the passive, Female energy of the universe. Mercury is the water element, representing the life essence of the plant, the very alcohol extract of the plant is the carrier of the life essence. Mercury was the principle of fusibility (ability to melt and flow) and volatility. In the chemical aspects, this neutral energy resides in the salts of the lab materials, both soluble and insoluble. The receiving of the influences of the Soul which are transmitted through the spirit occurs through the element Water. Salt contains the elements Water and Earth. It is the receptacle for the energies of Mercury and Sulphur. Salt is the earth element, representing the vegetable salts extracted from calcined ashes of plant body. Salt was the principle of fixity (non-action) and in-combustibility. It is believed that all matter can be divided, via alchemical processes, into these three things. In Alchemy, Salt, Sulphur and Mercury are known to be the Three Principles.
