The Chymical wedding (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Dorn's name for dissolution as an inner union of male and female; psychologically it is the union of conscious and unconscious, the hard heart turning to water.

The Chymical wedding (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the coniunctio allegorized as the ritual union of Sol and Luna, from which the hermaphroditic son of the philosophers is born, a token of rounded perfection.

The Chymical wedding (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the supreme act of union where the alchemical work culminates; so vehement an attraction is needed only because an equally strong resistance holds male and female apart.
