sal, n.All

Sal (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠salt as arcane substance, a lunar and feminine principle: the "salt of the wise" that God poured in to unite earth and water, which locks and unlocks, dissolves and coagulates itself.

The Sal (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠human wisdom one must work for, unlike revelation: "Have salt in yourselves," Mark urged, and this salt must keep its tang through flexibility of mind, not rigid insistence on faith.
