Citrinitas - The Yellow Stage

The third stage involving the dawning of spiritual illumination.

Citrinitas is the yellowing, the dawn of the spiritual sun. Having passed through darkness and purification, the work begins to show golden tints. This stage represents growing illumination and the approach of completion.

After the white, the yellow appears, like the morning sun.
