The Hermetic Principles

☿Sulphur

The three alchemical principles · Soul, the flame

In alchemy's tria prima, the soul — the active, kindling principle of desire and warmth.

Sulphur reads as your inner fire: the wants and passions that set you moving and give a life its heat. It inclines you to notice what genuinely kindles you, since a soul with nothing alight goes cold, while one left all aflame burns through its own fuel.
