ALCHEMY OF DARKNESS I

The Giantess of the Dark Age. "Darkness there was" the Rig Veda declares, "at first concealed in darkness this all was undiscriminated chaos". Alchemy associates the imagery of darknes with nigredo -the stage in which the ego is cnfronted not only with the weight of its earthliness and unlived possibilities, but also with its capacity of evil-. Yet what appears to be only absence, emptiness and obscurity may actually point to a luminosity, presence and fullness of being peculiar to darkness domain. Is it not, after all, alive and stirring?. The Giantess of darkness brings alive the fullness of the soul, of being. In the face of the late capitalism structures built with lights the dark poetic beings will remind us of our balance. Of our light.
