Rosicrucianism + Alchemy

“In alchemy, the cross has enormous symbolic and mystical value. Represented on the ground by the nave and the bottom of the transept, the cross becomes a dynamic element which, by its orientation in relation to the four cardinal points, punctuates with the round of the seasons, and the mystical alternation of solstices and equinoxes. This completely terrestrial cardinal cross supports its reflection, a celestial, vertical and polar cross that one. This three-dimensional cross sums up any alchemical approach, in the upward dynamic of the spire located at the crossroads of the transept. It is in this point of intersection that the center is found, the focal point of the energies, the heart of Christ for the Christian, “the original Egg, all the Primordial principles and the Philosopher's Stone”, the germ of the world.” — Alchemy and Cathedral by Alexander von Saenger Picture: Geheime Figuren der Rosenkreuzer, aus dem 16ten und 17ten Jahrhundert
