In alchemy there is a special phase in finding the Philosopher’s Stone, the element that transforms all into pure gold. It is named Cauda Pavonis and it is said to reveal all the colors of the rainbow, like a peacock’s tail. We tend to believe that the most important value is love, not passionate one, but the blessed one, powerful and profound, the parental kind of love. This is a study of white light, a peacock which is also the symbol of immortality and of Hera, the Goddess, protector of families/
In alchimie exista o ultima faza a transformarii catre Piatra Filosofala, cea care transforma totul in aur pur. Acest proces se numeste Cauda Pavonis, pentru ca releva toate culorile curcubeului. Tindem sa credem ca lucrul cel mai de pret este iubirea, nu cea pasionala, ci cea binecuvantata, puternica si adanca, iubirea de tip parental. Acesta este un studiu al luminii, un paun care de asemenea este vestitorul zeitei Hera, cea mai frumoasa, protectoarea familiei.
