eternal character of divine sacrifice made evident
transformation rite of the Mass

The rite of transformation may be said to begin with the Offertory, an antiphon recited during the offering of the sacrificial gifts. Here we encounter the first ritual act relating to the transformation:

homogeneous liquid as the `divine water
Hebrew god and Saturn

In Zosimos' day Saturn was regarded as a Hebrew god, presumably on account of the keeping holy of the SabbathSaturday means `Saturn's Day'and also on account of the Gnostic parallel with the supreme archon Ialdabaoth (`child of chaos') who, as,may be grouped together with Baal, Kronos, and Saturn:

divine substance of the suffering Dionysus Zagreus
symbolic act of sacrifice

dream or vision symbolism: Initial (Vs-22)

Vision:

casting our sins upon a divine mediator
purpose in the power of evil

During the process of treatment the dialectical discussion leads logically to a meeting between the patient and his shadow, that dark half of the psyche which we invariably get rid of by means of projection: either by burdening our neighboursin a wider or narrower sensewith all the faults which we obviously have ourselves, or by casting our sins upon a divine mediator with the aid of contritio or the milder attritio:

divine intoxication vanished from sacred precincts
Dionysian element

dream or vision symbolism: Initial (Vs-22)

Vision:

lunar water fertilized by the divine breath
symbols of the alchemical goal

The arrangement of the stages in individual authors depends primarily on their conception of the alchemical goal:

Mercurius as divine winged Hermes in matter
double face of alchemy
