Imbibitio ”I am the true art of burning, I am an offering pure in the art, In me, the animals are completely eaten away, so that they may be cleansed. If they are in this alone, they can enter heaven, and become salt, having been taken up on high. And in this salt, the light of the world sets, it is fixed in the sun's brilliance, which is the bread of the salamanders." - Alchemical and rosicrucian compendium, c. 1760. Yale University Library
