The Bird Of Hermes Is My Name Eating My Wings To Make Me Tame

The Red Sea. The Red Sol. The Red Elixir Vitae.

Red Stone. White Stone. Elixir Vitae. Luna in Crescent.

"I shall you tell with plain declaration

Where, how, and what is my generation

Omogeni is my Father

And Magnesia is my Mother

And Azot truly is my Sister

And Kibrick forsooth is my Brother

The Serpent of Arabia is my name

The which is leader of all this game

That sometime was both wood and wild

And now I am both meek and mild

The Sun and the Moon with their might

Have chastised me that was so light

My wings that me brought

Hither and thither where I thought

Now with their might they down me pull,

And bring me where they will

The Blood of mine heart I wish

Now causeth both joy and blisse

And dissolveth the very Stone

And knitteth him ere he have done

Now maketh hard that was lix

And causeth him to be fix

Of my blood and water I wish

Plenty in all the World there is

It runneth in every place

Who it findeth he hath grace

In the World it runneth over all

And goeth round as a ball

But thou understand well this

Of the worke thou shalt miss

Therefore know ere thou begin

What he is and all his kin

Many a name he hath full sure

And all is but one Nature

Thou must part him in three

And then knit him as the Trinity

And make them all but one

Lo here is the Philosophers Stone"
