The seven alchemical metals and their planets — silver-Moon, gold-Sun, lead-Saturn and the rest — why each pairing was made and where the sources disagree.
The four alchemical stages — nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, rubedo — as a map of inner work: what each stage feels like and why citrinitas is often skipped.
The sixth Hermetic gate: Jupiter, tin, and Thursday — how greed becomes generosity, tin's role in bronze as alloying, and the shadow of the great benefic.
The fifth Hermetic gate: Mars, iron, and Tuesday — how reckless audacity is separated into tempered courage, the martial metal, and rubedo's fire.
The Mercury sphere in the Hermetic ascent: quicksilver and Wednesday, the vice of machination distilled into straightforward speech, and Mercury in a cast.
The Moon sphere in the Hermetic ascent: silver and Monday, the vice of waxing and waning refined into constancy, and how Luna appears in a 128-state cast.
The seventh Hermetic gate: Saturn, lead, and Saturday — how despair becomes patience, lead as prima materia, nigredo, and the summit before the Ogdoad.
The Sun sphere: gold and Sunday, the vice of ruling pride conjoined into humility, the citrinitas turn, and Sol at the centre of a 128-state cast.
The Venus sphere: copper and Friday, the vice of illusory desire fermented into clear-sighted love, and the green lion motif read with care.
