The myth of the god Mercury and the role he plays in alchemical transformation.

So was it the mythical god Mercury, that lesser god of happy or unhappy happenstance, that divine trickster, who gave me my glittering wings, that I might fligh higher than any other being in order to see the true wonder and magic of the starry heavens; then having done so, who more recently brought me to the very edge of death as his myth declares he can, just on whim, just because he can…. Indeed I like to think it was him, for such behaviour befits a lesser god who likes to create a little havoc on his travels, as well as on those unpredictable quantum levels of uncertainty no doubt, in the universal journey of creation.
