Wine

Madya means “wine” and what we are talking about when we talk about wine in this case is the grape.  Grapes and wine are very symbolic in many traditions.  Wine is a symbol of the blood of the Christ, a symbol of that fire or that energy we need in order to sustain ourselves. In the terms of Madya, this Sanskrit term, what we are talking about is the vibration of that Solar Light which manifests through the tattva of Vayu, which we know of as Air.  So, the Alchemist or Tantrika consumes the grape or grape juice and does so in order to receive the purest and most potent hydrogens related to the tattva Vayu. That pure energy is consumed as part of the process of transforming the energies of the organism in order to produce the purest and most potent sexual energy, which in turn becomes the foundation stone of the temple of the soul.
