Hermeticism

The Lunar Work

The operation of the Moon in alchemical transformation.

The Moon represents the receptive, feminine principle that provides the medium for transformation. It corresponds to the psyche, the unconscious, the imagination, and the soul that receives and gestates the solar influence.

The Moon is its mother.
