….”certain evenings a little before the golden foam of the horizon has properly hardened you can see a tiny iron island very close indeed to the sun.”
                                                                        From  Excursion to the Planet Mercury by Alice Oswald

Hermetic tradition states that the mating of Father Sun and Mother Moon produced a planetary body that promotes purity, understanding and the ability to advance above earthly considerations. Mercury is placed on an equal footing with the Luminaries as a force that allows us to find psychic wholeness, what Jungian psychology refers to as individuation.
