(In english further down) - Sur le theme de la distinction "entre la femme et la muse," entre d'une part l'autre, l'amie, la compagne ou l'epouse et, d'autre part, la femme en soi-meme, deux fois sept poemes qui cherchent la liberte, la connaissance esoterique, au travers de l'Oeuvre au Noir puis de la reconciliation des contraires, pour atteindre l'Eveil. (extrait du Prelude: " L'autre et Celle en moi " ) L'Eveil, ou "Noces Alchimiques," est la rencontre entre notre etre profond et la Lumiere. Cet univers de l'imaginaire et des symboles est associe a la femme, mais aussi a la Lune, a l'Eau et au vif-argent, un des anciens noms des alchimistes pour designer la Materia Prima, la matiere primaire, le verbe Ce terme evoque Mater, la mere, la mer, l'ocean des profondeurs... boucle riche de sens et de possibles meditations Le mariage symbolique entre le Soleil et la Lune peut aller jusqu'a designer la realisation de l'Androgyne. L'eveil est peut-etre a ce prix. L'Alchimie et l'Eveil sont indissociablement lies. La premiere, "transe-formation," engendrant le second. L'Alchimie c'est l'Art des transformations evolutives. (Extrait de l'exorde de Georges Darmon). IN ENGLISH: This book contains variations on the theme of making a clear distinction between the women and the muse, between on one side the "Other one," the friend, the companion, the lover or the spouse and, on the other side, the woman in one-self, also named "anima" by Carl G. Jung (or "animus," the man in one-self if we are female). Twice seven poems searching for Liberty and esoteric Knowledge, through "L' uvre au noir" and the reconciliation of the opposites in order to reach the real awakening. (excerpt of "Prelude: The "She-other" and the "She" in me.") The awakening or "Alchemical wedding" is the reunion of our deepest self and the Light. This universe of imagination and symbols is traditionally associated with the Women, but also with the Moon, the Water and the "running silver," the Mercury, one of the ancient names given by the Alchemists to the "Materia Prima," the primary matter, the Word This term calls the image of Mater, mother, but also the original broth, the sea, the deepest oceans of our consciousness, a rich source of meditations... The symbolic wedding between the Sun and the Moon might go as far as referring to the realization of the Androgyne. The awakening might be at that price. Alchemy and Awakening are closely joined. Alchemy is the Art of evolving transformations. (Excerpt from the foreword by Georges Darmon)"
