Description
The Mons Philosophorum express the alchemical work from beginning to end. In the first illustration, a blindfolded man is hunting at the base of a mountain. The four elements combine in the 12 signs of the solar year. The three steps of transformation are represented by three plateaus. Venus and Saturn stand on the first hill; Mars and Jupiter stand on the second hill; the Sun and the Moon stand on the third, with Mercurius dancing in-between on the peak. He holds both a caduceus, which represents the work of the chakras, and a seven-pointed star, which represents the perfected soul. Seven steps lead into a cave representing the inner effort of uniting opposites by the heat of fire; a white eagle spreads its wings and symbolizes rebirth in the Spirit.
