The second demonstrative sign, or the second principal colour, is white. Hermes says, (VII Chap) Know, Son of Science, that the Vulture cries from the mountain top, I am the White from the Black because whiteness succeeds the blackness. Morien calls this whiteness white Smoke. Alphidius teaches us that this matter, or this white Smoke, is the root of Art, and the Quicksilver of the Sages. Philalethes, (Narrat. Method, p. 36), assures us that Quicksilver is the true Mercury of the Philosophers. This Quicksilver, says he, extracted from this very subtle blackness is the tingent66 Mercury of the Philosophers, with its white and red Sulphur naturally mixed in their mine. ... 

The whole process of the confection of the Stone is summed up by our author in the following words "At first the earthly Body of the Sun is totally dissolved and decomposed and robbed of all strength (the Body, which was at first of a muddy impurity, changing to a coal-black color, called by the Sages the Raven s Head, within the space of forty days) and is thus despoiled of its soul. 

The above appears to be a VERY plain statement indeed, and one that practice assuredly will verify. For the Sages do not lie. The "two sulphurs" become one by coction. Time and patience are the main things required for results. Unless there were a most remarkable affinity between the two substance, they surely would never behave as they do, and ultimately unite in the wondrous Stone. When once one comes to understand it, they will appear as brother and sister, both being derived from the same stock, though one is some ages older than the other. Solomon, who is "black and... 

By "lead" our sage simply means Blackness, which is a temporary condition of the Matter at a certain stage, as so many writers plainly affirm. By "orpiment" is meant the yellow water, or "fire," which brings the Whiteness out of the Blackness, thus creating the base of the Silver. 

By another famous writer, this Matter at the dark stage is called "Antimony, the chariot of the King." (See Tarot VII). It is so called because of the brilliancy of the blackness assumed after solution. The Sage rejoices when he sees the blackness, for he knows what it portends. Paracelsus say that an ignorant man often picks up and throws away a stone of more value than a cow. This is literally true, so that this very saying of the great alchemist becomes a Key to the Art itself. 

Avicenna, another great Sage, says that "natural heat operating in humid bodies first causes blackness, and finally causes whiteness, as may be seen in calyx." "Coction," says Alze, "causes the substance to become first black, then white, then red, all by the separation of waters. The waters being divided, cook the matter and the vapor until coagulation takes place, and there is made a White Stone."... 

DESTRUCTION — In the terminology of Hermetic science, this term signifies the Radical Dissolution of Bodies in the Philosophical Mercury, or the Reduction of Metals into their First Matter, which is the Mercury of the Sages. Destruction signifies also the blackness and putrefaction of the Matter. 

HUMIDITY — Ignited Mercury of the Sages animated by its Sulphur. Sometimes the Philosophers understand by this term the matter of the work when it has arrived at the Black Stage. 

POWDER — Black Powder — The Matter of the Sages in the condition of Putrefaction.
