Der gülden Gesundbrunnen

Solis Sun gold. But Basilius Valentinus confesses to his German children of the art the difference in the colored mercurial Tinctursamen tincture-seed, which he calls the golden blood. He states: Although gold has overcome its seven Sphæras spheres and is therefore the noblest, best, purest, most constant, and most subtle perfected metal, the golden tincture-blood is not found as abundantly in the perfected body of gold as it is in Marte Mars/iron and Venere Venus/copper. These are like the man and the woman. Their tincture-blood, power, virtue, and effect are no less blessed by the Creator than the tincture-blood of gold. Basilius confesses this in the fourth chapter on page 55, saying:

Here I wish to reveal a secret to you. Namely, that gold, iron, and copper all possess the same golden tincture-blood, the same color, Schweffel sulfur, and materia matter. This tincture matter is a spirit, mist, and smoke. If you can now catch that same tincture-spirit of Venus and join it with the spiritu Martis spirit of Mars, then you have won a great mastery. The fifth chapter on page 78 also treats this. Whoever
