Axis Mundi
The Cosmic Axis
The Axis Mundi, or the Axis of the World, is one of the most universal symbolic and cosmological concepts in human history. Present in nearly all mythological, religious and esoteric traditions, this notion designates the central point of junction that links the different planes of the universe: Heaven (the divine, the celestial), Earth (the human and manifest world) and the Underworld (the infernal realms, the depths of the unconscious).
there exists a central, primordial and sacred point around which everything else is organized. This axis is the fixed pivot that allows the cosmos to hold its balance and to avoid the return to chaos.
The alchemist or initiate positions himself as a living Axis Mundi. He is the channel that links above (spirit, sulfur, the volatile) and below (body, salt, the fixed), embodying the famous Hermetic maxim of the Emerald Tablet: “That which is below is like that which is above.”
