ruzuzu commented on the word Axiom of Maria
"Axiom of Maria is a precept in alchemy: "One becomes two, two becomes three, and out of the third comes the one as the fourth." It is attributed to 3rd century alchemist Maria Prophetissa, also called the Jewess, sister of Moses, or the Copt. Marie-Louise von Franz gives an alternative version thus: "Out of the One comes Two, out of Two comes Three, and from the Third comes the One as the Fourth.""

Silly bilby. All that glisters is not gold--and I'm pretty sure alchemists would prefer golden showers.
