"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

Temptations of Dr.
Antonio, directed by Federico Fellini
"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)."
