49. Fermentatio (Fermentation)

In the mineral realm, I alone am the Dragon,
My 🜂 Alchemical symbol for Fire breath (☿) Alchemical symbol for Mercury is your dew and SchWaDe (Shadow/Mercury),
When the artist can awaken it so that it becomes
Endowed and adorned with the brightness and power of the Sun (Gold),
Through this, I bring everything into its original essence,
Wherein the brightness of its star increases with its light.
My poison is PrUDUMENS (a term implying the first principle of wisdom), providing the Medicine,
Just as it must be led into a golden spirit,
And when I am nourished with the essence of the toad.
