The Alchemical Tree. Engraving depicting a tree surrounded by figures used in allegory by alchemists. The tree itself carries symbols representing the Moon, Sun and five planets. Around it are discs carrying symbols such as various birds, a unicorn and a body rising from a grave, showing the stages of life. This engraving comes from Philosophia reformata by Johann Daniel Mylius, printed at Frankfurt in 1622, but is a reworking of emblems created by Valentine for his series called ‘Azoth’.
“There is a harmonic relationship that resonates between all the spheres of space, from the smallest to the largest. Think of all the protons vibrating and resonating with each other. Think of all the electrons vibrating and resonating with each other. Then think of all the planets, all the solar systems, all the stars, the galaxies, the superclusters that vibrate and resonate with each other in the universe. Imagine then the number of octaves existing between the proton and the universe. We are very clearly bathed in the music of the spheres.”
