Friedrich Maurer - Der Compass der Weisen (The Compass of the Wise), 1779.
This antique alchemical engraving shows the pillars of Jachin and Boaz, each swathed in vines. There are Sun and Moon , Father and Mother, blowing the Ether of Sulphur and Quicksilver in to the Alter.
The two pillars typify Unity and the redeeming Power of Love, with the significant suggestion that the Redemption results from the Unity. They correspond with the two “bonds,” or uniting principles spoken of by St. Paul, “the Unity of the Spirit which is the Bond of Peace,” and “Love, which is the Bond of Perfectness.“ These two pillars, therefore, stand for the two great Spiritual principles that are the basis of all Life: Jachin typifying the Unity resulting from Being, and Boaz typifying the Unity resulting from Love. In this Dual-Unity we find the key to all conceivable involution or evolution of Spirit. They contain infinite meanings; and often those passages which appear on the surface to be most meaningless will be found to possess the deepest significance.
The knighting scene between Jaime and Brienne was the most romantic of all the series and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees 😭
