ng, I kiss the ring
On thy little ringer,
Thou wound of the spear
Hold thy little mouth near,
It must be kissed.
Lamb, say nothing to me in there
For this precious minute
Thou art mine only.

On this curiosity compare the psychological explanations of Pfister.

Returning to the previously mentioned "spiritual powers" I should mention
that alchemy also attempts to include in a short schema the inventory of
powers available for the Great Work. It uses different symbols for this
purpose; one of the most frequent is the seven metals or planets. Whether
I say with the astrologers that the soul (not the celestial spirit, which
is derived from God) flowing in from the seven planets upon man, is
therefore composed of their seven influences, or if with the alchemists I
speak of the seven metals, which come together in the microcosm, it is of
course quite the same, but expressed in another closely related symbol.
The metals are, as we know, incomplete and have to be "improved" or "made
complete." That means we must sublimate our impulses.

"From the highest to the lowest everything rises by intermediate steps on
the infinite ladder, in such manner that those pictures and images, as
outgrowths of the divine mind, through subordinate divinities and demigods
impart their gifts and emanations to men. The highest of these are: Spirit
of inquiry, power of ruling and mastering self, a brave heart, clearness
of perception, ardent affection, acuteness in the art of exposition, and
fruitful creative power. The efficient forces of all these God has above
all and originally in himself. From him they have received the seven
spirits and divinities, which move and rule the seven planets, and are
called angels, so that each has received his own, distinct from the rest.
They share them again among the seven orders of demons subordinated to
them, one under each. And these finally transmit them to men." (Adamah
Booz. Sieb. Grunds., p. 9 ff.)

In this enumeration the fundamental powers, whose partition varies
exceedingly, already show a certain measure of intro-determination. If we
wish to contrast their titanic with their anagogic aspect, we get
approximately the following scheme, to which I add the familiar
astrological characters of the seven planets.

Destroying (castration). [Symbol: Saturn] Introversion.
Mastery. [Symbol: Jupiter] Mastery of
