some other gems as well.
here is a qoute,
"Thus while Jachin symbolized the state of erection of the
membrum virile, when prepared for begetting or creating, in the
womb, Boaz symbolized the potency, rigor, and fierce and even
cruel desire of the same member. It was the sexual vigor and
power, the inordinate lust of the goat, that gate that animal
the name daz or Oaz."
And here is an expert from an old alchemical manuscript Pike references:
MATERIA PRIMA.
I am a Dragon, poisonous, everywhere present, and to be
bought for the smallest price, that on which I rest and which
rests above me, let him who shall rightly investigate discover
in myself: My Water and Fire destroy and compound, from
my body thou mavest extract the green and red lion ; although
thou shalt not know me accurately thou destroyest five senses
with my fire. Premature poison issues from my nostrils, which
to very many causes death. Therefore, separate artificially the
Dense from the Subtile, unless thou art delighted with extreme
poverty. The Forces of Males, as well as of Females, and verily
those of the Heavens and the Earth, do I bestow upon thee .
Zndauntedly and with a lofty spirit niy mysteries are to be
managed, provided that thou desirest I should vanquish the
Force of Fire, in which affair very many have squandered their
estate and labour. I am the Egg of 'Nature, known to the Sages only, who, pious and modest, engender from me the
Microcosm prepared verily for me by God the Best and Greatest,
although to very few (though very many in vain desire it)
given ; that of my Treasury they may benefit the poor, and not
fasten their affections on perishable gold . By the Philosophers
I am called by the name of Mercury, my husband is the (philosophical) gold, the old Dragon everywhere on the earth
present I am, Father and Mother, young and a*ed, most strong
and feeble, death and restoration, visible and invisible, hard,
soft, descending upon the Earth, and ascending to Heaven, the
Highest and the Lowest, the lightest and heaviest, in me the
order of nature is often inverted, in -colour, number, weight and
measure containing the natural Light, obscure and lucid, issuing
forth from Heaven and Earth, known and wholly none istent,
all colours glow in me, and all metals through the rays of the
Sun. The Solar Carbuncle, the most Noble Purified Earth, by
which thou shalt be able to transmute copper, iron, alloy of
silver and lead, or lead, into gold .
