By Basil Valentine - an extract from his book Revelation and Declaration
In my dominion are appropriated to me among the twelve Signs, Sagittarius & Pisces: I was born from Pisces because I was WATER before my LIFE; but Sagittarius placed the Sagette in my heart, by means of which I lost my wateriness, having become, by means of the Heat, a dry Earth; & although my Earth, by means of WATER, has become a soft substance, nevertheless you must hear that the Water has been dried by the hot Air, & that this soft Matter has been changed by the Heat into a Hard material.
From this, you who are learned, or you others who want to learn, you must diligently observe & take heed that TIN is subject to the four Elements & to the other Planets, which Elements have received in their center the virtues from above & are generated from it.
To say goodbye to you, I tell you that when you draw SALT & SULFUR from this good JUPITER, and join them to SATURN to make them flow together, you will see SATURN take on a more fixed Body, purging itself & becoming clearer, & will have a true Transmutation of SATURN into JUPITER.
Quote of the Day
“Dissolve then sol and luna in our dissolving water, which is familiar and friendly, and next in nature to them; and is also sweet and pleasant to them, and as it were a womb, a mother, an original, the beginning and the end of their life. That is the reason why they are meliorated or amended in this water, because like nature, rejoices in like nature, and like nature retains like nature, being joined the one to the other, in a true marriage, by which they are made one nature, one new body, raised again from the dead, and immortal. Thus it behoves you to join consanguinity, or sameness of kind, by which these natures, will meet and follow one another, purify themselves and generate, and make one another rejoice; for that like nature now is disposed by like nature, even that which is nearest, and most friendly to it.”
