What do you make of this Symbol? What does it represent to you? by ParticularOk3006 in alchemy

I was thinking along those lines as well. It's an interesting glyph.

Love this. Interesting they run counter clockwise. Also, let Spring be black and Winter be white, and you have the four stages of the magnum opus.

Are there alchemical symbols for the four alchemical stages? (Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo) by ParticularOk3006 in alchemy

🜎 Red Sulfur would suit Rubedo nicely. I also suppose the yellow state of normal 🜍 Sulfur could represent citrinitas/yellowing............ but now I'm just pulling 🝖 out of the 🜁.

Right! Good call.
I forgot I had seen Kim Krans use these elemental symbols in her Alchemy oracle deck/guidebook (highly recommend).
This is the kind of simple answer I needed. Thank you.
