The Book of Symbols, Day 34: Sunrise

Day 34: Sunrise, gouache, 7x7 in., Otto




Alchemy, as well as numerous myths, distinguishes sunrise from dawn.  As daybreak, the latter is suggestive of the "first light" of spiritual, symbolic or psychic illumination, while sunrise evokes its infusion with the fire, blood and energetic heat of lived experience.
