Heinrich KhunrathThinkers

Discretion (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the gift Khunrath told the adept to pray for above all, the spirit that tells good from evil and leads out of the labyrinth of deceitful papers to the ground of truth.

Proteus (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the sea god holding the key to the sea, as Khunrath described the alchemists' universal Mercurius, filled with the fiery spark of the light of nature.

Scintilla (n.) e ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠(n.) are the alchemists' sparks in the foul dark matter — seeds of light sown in chaos, 'the seed-plot of a world to come', of which the human mind is one.
