Learning alchemical correspondences

What’s neat about alchemy is that if you know a little about it, you can immediately apply the knowledge because so many magical, scientific and other disciplines were and still are built on basic alchemical principles. This isn’t about whether or not alchemy is right or wrong, just about its place in the evolution of our thought and art and sciences. You will it everywhere because it’s been around… and knowing how to read its tracks will help you understand a lot of things!

For instance, the shorthand of alchemy is used a lot in many places in magic and history. You can find it in heraldry, where it also bridges into the history of important aristocratic houses, and you will find it in chemistry, where it defines our earliest understandings of the behavior of metals and materials. You will especially find it in descriptions and charts dealing with spirits and magical ingredients, or names and descriptions of magical items.

So, here is a list of seven things you can look for that will give you alchemical knowledge about whatever subject is referencing alchemy. If you’re researching historical subjects, it’s especially useful because the further in the past you go, the more you’ll find people depending on alchemical knowledge, because at one time it was all we had. If you understand the thinking of the writers, you can understand their writing more, and find hidden references. You’ll also be more likely to pick up on the things they forgot to explain because they assumed some knowledge would be common to the everyday reader that no longer is. And you’ll know that if a ritual is supposed to be on a certain day of the week, and it asks for iron tools and red decor, you’ll be doing it on a Tuesday, and you’ll know that because you’ll know how to recognize Mars in a ritual.

I’m going to identify the metal, the day of the week, and the color. I say ‘color of decor’ to mean altar cloths, text color, colors of flowers and gems… etc. I’ve listed the colors I’ve often found “in the wild” in different correspondence charts and magical systems–it’s usually determined by what ink colors the author/culture had at their disposal, so don’t stress yourself out on getting it perfect. Once you have these basic correspondences down, you’ll be able to find many more.

Gold

Gold is the metal of the Sun. Sunday is the day that corresponds. The color of decor can vary from yellow to white to gold, depending on the constraints of your palette.

(Since Venus is copper, sometimes your palette’s limits may mean that the Sun is white, Venus is yellow, etc. You’ll find similar behavior with Mercury’s color associations.)

Quicksilver

Quicksilver is the metal of Mercury. Wednesday is the day that corresponds. The color of decor can vary–grey or silver or iridescent is typical, with some way that it is contrasted from the Moon.

(By the way, if you need a shortcut for remembering days of the week and which correspond to which metal, just look at them in French! Here’s a table.)

Iron

Iron is the metal of Mars. Tuesday is the day that corresponds. (Mardi Gras is always on a Tuesday!) The color of decor will be red. Iron is what makes dyes and paints–and blood–red, in fact.

Silver

Silver is the metal of the Moon. Monday is the day that corresponds. The color of decor will be silver or blue, depending on your palette’s constraints, and there’s the option of using white if the Sun isn’t doing that.

Copper

Copper is the metal of Venus. Friday is the day that corresponds. The color of decor will be copper or orange–gold/brass will work if it doesn’t conflict with other planets. (This last part only refers to the color brass. If you use the metal brass instead of copper, that can create conflicts, so be aware of that.)

Tin

Tin is the metal of Jupiter, so put on your tinfoil hat. Thursday is the day that corresponds. The color of decor will typically be green for Jupiter, which gives you a real break from having to find yet another shade of grey or silver in this system.

Lead

Lead is the metal of Saturn. Saturday is the corresponding day. The color of decor should be black or a dark color like purple, just goth it right the heck up.

This is why magicians end up keeping so many correspondence charts–you can find plenty of associations to add with just this basic set of information to start from, I’m sure, and every magician has their set of correspondences they prefer. You’ll find various systems that build on or copy off of this system, or that modify and mutate it. From it, you can also see the structures that make up a base foundation for a creative, scientific and magical system. If you’re interested in rolling your own, then this is a good place to start studying!

Beltane, das Fest zum Sommeranfang, wurde in vielen Teilen Europas gefeiert, und war somit und aufgrund seines heidnischen Ursprungs, der Kirche ein Dorn im Auge. Es wurde die Lüge verbreitet, dass es sich bei den Feiernden um Hexen handele, die sich mit dem Teufel verbündeten. Die bevorzugten Plätze der Feiernden waren erhöht, sprich Hügel oder Felsen. Die großen Feuer, die traditionell entzündet wurden, dienten angeblich zur besseren Orientierung für jene, die sich auf fliegenden Besen oder Mistgabeln zum Festort begaben, um sich mit verschiedenen Mitteln zu berauschen und ausgelassen, um das Feuer herum, tanzend zu feiern.

Den Abschluss des Festes bildete angeblich, die Vermählung einer jeden Hexe mit dem Teufel, der Kennzeichnung mit einem Hexenmahl und dem damit einhergehenden Erlangen böser magischer Kräfte. Die Hexen, die mit dem Bocksbeinigen Herrn der Finsternis Unzucht getrieben hatten, konnten nun Flugsalbe aus den Leibern Neugeborener kochen, das Vieh und Gesinde mit tödlichen Flüchen belegen und die Ernte verhageln, so die Lehre der geistlichen Obrigkeit.

Eine in diesem Zusammenhang sehr bekannte und besondere mystische Stätte ist der Brocken im Harz, auch genannt Blocksberg.

Durch diese Diffamierung und durch Androhung hoher Strafen, versuchte man die Beteiligung der Menschen am Fest von Beltane zu verhindern. Wer offiziell als Hexe benannt wurde oder im Verdacht stand sich mit dem Teufel zu verbrüdern, wurde aus der Gemeinde verbannt. Die Häuser der Geächteten kennzeichnete man mit Kreidemalen.

Parallel dazu setzte die Kirche die heilige Walpurga als Schutzpatronin für Bäuerinnen und Mägde ein, die sie vor dem Bösen beschützen sollte. Daher erhielt der Abend bzw. die Nacht vor dem 1. Mai ihren Namen: Walpurgisnacht. Die heilige Walpurga hat also mit dem Brauchtum und den mythologischen Wurzeln dieses Festes inhaltlich nichts zu tun.

Interpretation unserer Ahnen

Über die eigentlichen Abläufe ist in der heutigen Zeit nur sehr wenig bekannt, was nahezu ausschließlich im Zusammenhang mit der Christianisierung Europas steht. Viele der alten Bräuche wurden “neu” interpretiert, verteufelt oder gar völlig abgeschafft. Ähnlich gestaltet es sich mit diesem Frühlingsfest. Es gibt mittlerweile sehr viele unterschiedliche Überlieferungen bzw. Erläuterungen.

Fest steht bisweilen, dass das Datum, also die Nacht vom 30. April zum 1. Mai nicht in jedem Fall korrekt ist. Dies liegt daran, dass unsere Ahnen keine festgelegten Kalender besaßen, wie es heute der Fall ist. Man orientierte sich vielmehr an dem Verlauf des Mondes.

Holla, Freya, Wallburg-die Göttin des blühenden Monats Mai:

die Herkunft des Namens könnte von Wald-Burga abzuleiten sein, was soviel wie „Schutz des Waldes“ heißen soll. Was auf eine Erd-, bzw. Waldgöttin hinweisen könnte.

Die Figur der Walburg könnte auch auf eine germanische Seherin aus dem 2. Jahrhundert hinweisen, die dem Volksstamm der Semnoninnen angehörte und Waluburg geheißen haben soll.

Auf griechischen Tonscherben ist eine „Waluburg Semnoni Sibylla“ erwähnt, übersetzt „Waluburg, die Seherin der Semnonen“. Die Silbe „wal“ würde in diesem Fall auf das Wort „walus“ verweisen ,den Stab oder Zauberstab, ein wichtiges Attribut dieser Seherinnen. Es könnte auch an „Vala” angelehnt sein, der Bezeichnung für die germanischen Zauberinnen oder Seherinnen, auch Völva, die nordgermanische „Allwissende“.

Walaruna ist ein Eigenname und heißt „die Seherin, die die Geheimnisse kennt“. Ein weiterer wichtiger Anknüpfungspunkt sind die Walküren, die ja auch das „Wala“ in ihrer ersten Silbe haben.

Der Walburg-Kult, vor allem jener vom 30. April auf den 1. Mai („Walpurgisnacht“) war so tief verwurzelt, dass sie ( wie viele andere Göttinnen auch ) von christlichen Kirchenvätern vereinnahmt wurde.

Durch eine fadenscheinige Heiligsprechung wurde aus ihr eine Heilige namens Walpurga, die im achten Jahrhundert als Äbtissin ein Doppelkloster geleitet haben soll. Interessanterweise soll dieses Kloster ausgerechnet in „Heidenheim“ gewesen sein. Allerdings gibt es keinerlei zeitgenössische Berichte über die Lebens- oder Amtszeit dieser heilig gesprochenen Äbtissin Walpurga.

Neuheidnische Interpretation

Im Asatru oder auch Neuheidentum ist die “Walpurgisnacht” das Fest der Fruchtbarkeit. Da man nicht zwei ganze Monate feiern konnte, vereinfachte man die Feierlichkeit, indem man stellvertretend am 30. April und am 1. Mai feierte. Und so ist es von jeher Brauch, in den Mai hineinzufeiern oder in den Mai hineinzutanzen. Die Nacht des Wünschens und der Tag danach, an dem sich die Wünsche erfüllen. Das der Tag, an dem der Nachwuchs geboren wird (an dem sich der Herzenswunsch erfüllt) ein arbeitsfreier Feiertag ist, versteht sich in diesem Selbstverständnis von alleine. Denn die Wünsche, auf die einen ganzen Monat lang hingearbeitet wurden, haben sich ja erfüllt. Also Grund zum Feiern! Hier liegt die Tradition des arbeitsfreien 1. Mai begründet, der in Wirklichkeit ein heidnischer Festtag ist.

Der erste Mai ist sozusagen das „Große Geburtstagsfest der Natur”, hier wird alles Leben (sichtbar) wiedergeboren. Wal-Purga, das große Geburtsfest, ist also neben dem Sonnengeburtstagsfest (am 21.12.) also ein weiteres großes „Geburtsfest”, und meint in dieser Sinnbedeutung die Kindsgeburt als solche. Die ganze Natur feiert heute ihren Geburtstag, die Küken, wie die Katzen, die Kälber, wie die Menschen!

Mit Hexen und der darauf folgenden Hexenverbrennung hat dieser Feiertag offenkundig wenig zu tun, dies war, wie üblich eine weitere Umdichtung um die alten heidnischen Feste der Fruchtbarkeit in Vergessenheit geraten zu lassen oder wie oben bereits erwähnt, schlichtweg zu “verteufeln”! So hatte man im weiteren geschichtlichen Verlauf, auch die Möglichkeit das Aufblühen oder wiedereinführen solcher Feste unter dem Zeichen “des Bösen” zu verhindern.

What is Ostara?

Ostara is a lesser sabbat that marks the official arrival of spring and takes place on the spring equinox, around March 20-21 in the Northern Hemisphere and September 20-23 in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s the moment when day and night are of equal length, symbolizing balance before the days begin to grow longer and light overcomes darkness. This is a time of renewal, fertility, and new beginnings, making it perfect for fresh starts and setting intentions for the season ahead.

The Legend of Ostara

According to a legend, Ostara is celebrated in honor of the Germanic goddess of the dawn and spring. The story goes that she once found a bird injured by the cold of winter. To save it, she transformed it into a hare, but the hare retained its ability to lay eggs. As a sign of gratitude, the hare painted and gifted eggs to the goddess, which is why eggs remain a central symbol of Ostara today. (1883, H. Krebs)

Goddess Eostre

Eostre, also known as Ostara, is the Germanic goddess of spring, fertility, and renewal. Her name is linked to the word "east" and the rising dawn, and some believe it means "Radiant Dawn." Eostre represents the spirit of spring and the return of fertility to the earth. Her arrival was traditionally celebrated with flowers, singing, bell ringing, and the lighting of new fires at dawn. She is often described as a beautiful young woman with flowers woven into her hair, accompanied by her consort and also her sacred animal, a hare. Sometimes he appears as a full-grown man, other times as a small rabbit cradled in her arms. Together, they bring eggs, a powerful symbol of the earth’s rebirth and fertility.

There isn’t much information about Eostre, but she is mentioned in the writings of an 8th-century monk, Venerable Bede. He recorded that the pagan Anglo-Saxons of medieval Northumbria held festivals in her honor during the month of April. Other than this, we don’t know much about how she was worshiped in ancient times. However, by the 19th century, she had become an important figure in German folklore, appearing in literature, paintings, and stories. She is often depicted as a youthful maiden adorned with flowers, symbolizing nature’s renewal after winter.

Some ancient festivals are said to have honored her with offerings of flowers, eggs, and feasts, welcoming the warmth and life she brings. Venerable Bede documented these traditions around the year 700 CE while traveling through Europe, recording pagan customs for the Catholic Church. The Church later attempted to shift the focus from Eostre to the resurrection of Jesus, but many ancient traditions remained deeply rooted. Eventually, instead of trying to erase them, the Church adapted and merged the two celebrations, renaming their spring festival “Easter” as a way to unite both traditions.

The Symbolism of The Painted Eggs

Eggs have long been a symbol of fertility, renewal, and the emergence of new life. Many cultures have used painted eggs in their spring festivals, from ancient Egyptians and Persians to European pagans. In the context of Ostara, eggs represent the potential for new beginnings and the fertility of the land as it awakens from winter. Decorating eggs is a tradition that has continued for centuries, carrying the magic of transformation and the blessings of abundance for the coming season.
