      "The odious stranger, disguising every circumstance of 
      time and place, assumed the mask of a martyr, a saint and a Christian 
      hero; and the infamous George of Cappadocia has been transformed into the 
      renowned St. George of England, the patron of arms, of chivalry, and of 
      the garter."-- Edward Gibbon, The History 
      of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

      "The 'pure substance' or the 'elixir', which ... is obtained from the entrails of Mother Nature, is 
      in alchemy nothing other than the gynergy so sought after in Tantrism. 
      Just like the Tantric, the alchemist thus draws a distinction between the 
      'coarse' and the 'sublime' feminine. After the destruction of the 'dark 
      mother', the so-called nigredo, the second phase follows, which goes by 
      the name of albedo ('whitening'). The adept understands this to mean the 
      'liberation' of the subtle feminine ('pure substance') from the clutches 
      of the coarse 'dragon' (prima materia).

      The master has thus transformed 
      the black matter, which for him symbolizes the dark mother, following its 
      burning or cutting up in his laboratory into an ethereal 'girl' and then 
      distilled from this the 'pure Sophia', the incarnation of wisdom, the 
      'chaste moon goddess', the 'white queen of heaven'. One text talks 'of the 
      transformation of the Babylonian whore into a virgin' (Evola, 1993, p. 
      207)." -- "The Shadow of the Dalai Lama," by 
      Victor and Victoria Trimondi
