11. "The root of this name is a Hebrew verb<br />

spelled with the same letters, meaning primarily<br />

"to boil, to cook." Figuratively, it signifies "to<br />

love," and is fundamentally a verb designating<br />

"Love" or "Beloved." ... often the alchemic;al<br />

books assure us that the Great Work, or<br />

operation of the Sun, is nothing other th~an<br />

"coction," that is, cooking or boiling. What 1:he<br />

alchemist are hiding behind this veil of language<br />

is the simple truth that love is the fulfilling of 1:he<br />

law, that the pure gold of the Absolute is found<br />

through the working of the gentle heal: of love,<br />

that the sacrifice of sacrifices is a broken and<br />

contrite heart purified in the fires of love, that<br />

only through love can the true pattern of that<br />

perfect golden cube, the New Jerusalem, be<br />

rightly perceived and understood." [Case, 1985,<br />

fastening or the fastener. From a verb meaning:<br />

to pierce, to penetrate, to fasten in. Thorns are<br />

symbols of union, connection, joining, fastening,<br />

association, accumulation and aggeragation.
