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.
The Three Magi
So, the three wise men who come to worship the child represent the colors of the great work.
Star of Bethlehem
What is that star, and who are these three magi? I tell you that the star is none other than the seal of Solomon, the six pointed star, symbol of the Solar Logos. Obviously, the upper triangle represents sulfur, that is to say, the fire. And what does the lower triangle represent in alchemy? It represents Mercury, the water. But, what kind of water do the alchemists refer to? It is the water—Mercury, they say—that refines the metallic radical number, in other words, the exiohehary, the sacred sperm. Undoubtedly, by means of the transmutation of our sexual secretions, that extraordinary water, that pure water, that Mercury of the secret philosophy, is elaborated. Samael Aun Weor
Bethlehem
“The house of bread” in Aramaic and Hebrew [בית לחם]. “The house of meat” in Arabic [بيت لحم]. The Holy City of western religions and a deep symbol. The birthplace of King David and Jesus.
