On plate 13 of Secret Symbols is shown a blue<br />

water triangle, marked Fons Miraculorum. In it<br />

are rooted a red rose, representing the "red word"<br />

of alchemy, and a white Lily, which symbolizes<br />

the "white work". The Lily stands for the lunar<br />

current. Yet both are rooted in the water triangle<br />

which is the fountain of miracles. The element of<br />

Water is the "One Thing", which is the primary<br />

substance for all miraculous manifestations.<br />

water of the clouds, but, if they understand our<br />

Tree of Knowledge. It is a state of being<br />

preceding individualized consciousness, a state<br />

of ignorance of good and evil. see 53, 124, 508,<br />
