What the card shows

In the waters of life we find three flowers, and in the central flower, a Serpent rising. These three flowers represent Sat: the Intimus, Atman; Chit: Buddhi, the Spiritual Soul; Ananda: Manas, the Human Soul. The three flowers also represent: The Sacred Fire. The Materia Prima. The Mixture.

Its esoteric meaning

In Arcanum number 14 there is an Angel with a Sun at his forehead and a vessel in each hand, in the act of mixing the Red Elixir with the White Elixir. The Elixir of Long Life results from the mixture of these two. It is, indubitably, this which the medieval Alchemists so yearned for. The White Elixir is woman and the Red Elixir is man, without which it is impossible to produce the Elixir of Long Life.

His synthesis
