what arises in my mind with that statement "...forged in the fire" is The Alchemist (Temperance) card XIV Great Way of the Body...
"81.14 Questioner: Finally, the fourteenth, the Way of the Body is called the Alchemist because there is an infinity of time for the various bodies to operate within to learn the lessons necessary for evolution. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is less than completely correct as the Great Way of the Body must be seen, as are all the archetypes of the body, to be a mirror image of the thrust of the activity of the mind. The body is the creature of the mind and is the instrument of manifestation for the fruits of mind and spirit. Therefore, you may see the body as providing the athanor* through which the Alchemist manifests gold."
* Athanor: an oven; a fire; a digesting furnace, formerly used in alchemy, so constructed as to maintain a uniform and constant heat.
just putting it out there with intuitive mind for now & will work some rationale in the meantime !
more Choices musings... visually the 2 bags triggers to my mind 'the scales of balance', in 'Justice' card VIII Matrix of the Body, (who is 'blind' ...veiled?) while the eclipse, another balance of relationship Earth Sun Moon which links mind to Matrix of Spirit, the Devil and the yes THE CHOICE!! [22 ~ a master number ;-]
Ra; The adept, whether positive or negative, has the same Matrix. The Potentiator is also identical. Due to the Catalyst of each adept the adept may begin to pick and choose that into which it shall look further. The Experience of the Spirit, that which you have called the Moon, is then, by
far, the more manifest of influences upon the polarity of the adept. Even the most unhappy of experiences, shall we say, which seem to occur in the Catalyst of the adept, seen from the viewpoint of the spirit, may, with the discrimination possible in shadow, be worked with until
light equaling the light of brightest noon descends upon the adept and positive or service-to others illumination has occurred. The service-to-self adept will satisfy itself with the shadows and, grasping the light of day, will toss back the head in grim laughter, preferring the darkness." 80.15
the unifying archetype of evolution...
