Negredo
This perilous place
Deep existential terror
The dark night of the soul
To rise
We must collapse
To evolve
There must be pain
We face our shadow
Staring at hollow relationships
Abandoned by pretense
Alone above the void
Immersed in this darkness
We find archetypes
We drown in the flood
Consumed by the collective unconscious
We face salt, sulphur and mercury
Keystones of alchemy
We find the elements
Earth, air, wind and fire
Their sum seven
Their product 12
Mathematical logic
Directing destiny
Hemetic truths
Traversing time
Resurgent and insurgent
Illuminating collective liberation
This alchemy transforms
Molding the base lead of collapse
Refining the gold of divine awareness
Embodying a tryad of gestation
Base matter, transformation, and illumination
Embodying all three all at once
The dark night of the soul
That demon we must face
The shadow we must integrate
This is my prayer
A prayer for resilience
A prayer for fortitude
A determination to survive this dark portal
The vortex manifests as depression
Or emerges as addiction
Suicidality a potent possibility
We rise through fire
Integrating the darkness
Illuminating consciousness
Growing stronger
Surviving the dark night of the soul
