Hell, Heaven and Alchemy in Hawthorne’s “Scarlet Letter” - Paul Ferguson - 06-30-2023
"Samael Aun Weor holds that alchemy is, strictly speaking, a sexual sacred practice, to sublimate the inferior, grotesque human energies (ens seminis) and transmute them into gold. This technique would consist of not fornicating, that is to say, spilling the seminal fluids, but making them ascend through the spine towards the brain. The chalice of all religions esoterically represents the sacred wines of the gods, the elixir of immortality. Aun Weor reveals in one of his several books about alchemy, La Piedra Filosofal o el Secreto de los Alquimistas, the symbolic connection between woman and the Grail: “There is no doubt either that in the Cup or Chalice, the Holy Grail as it is known, for which the Medieval knights fought when they left towards the Holy Land during the times of the Eucharistic Crusades, represents the feminine Yoni, the eternal feminine (…) they never found it, obviously” (Aun Weor, K, 2012: 261)."
