From these two systems, it can be seen that Mercury occupied an important place, in the first case Mercury occupies a central place, in the second it is in the middle, as befits an intermediary 😉
The highest form of hermetic art is the penetration into the very ** middle ** - the essence of things. Mercury, as we can see, managed both mythologically and astronomically to be at the center.
Since in our solar system Mercury is in close proximity to the Sun, it was called:
Sunshine Member
(lat. Solaris Luminis particeps)
or
solar wolf
(lat. Solaris lupus)
Many philosophers believe that the sun and Mercury are one.
In the astrological symbol of the sun ☉ we see a circle and a dot, although it looks like the sun and little Mercury near it. And in the astrological symbol of Mercury ☿ there is also a circle - the Sun.
(I plan to write about these symbols later.)
Let's remember Greek mythology and the entrance to the realm of the dead - it was guarded by a dog named Cerberus. A dog is a "domesticated" wolf. And if the kingdom of the Dead is guarded, and it would be strange not to guard the Kingdom of the Sun and Awareness?
Where is the guard and guide - Solar Wolf? Or the light side of Mercury.....?
From this - The dark side of Mercury, as changeable as mercury, the guide to Hades.....?
Cerberus (lat.)
