Cintutrîberous (The First Three Sources)
The Cintutrîberous—the First Three Sources—are the foundational energies that sustain and shape the cosmos. Each source represents a vital aspect of existence, contributing to the creation and maintenance of the world through a balance of energy, motion, and form.
Nemātis
The first Source, Nemātis, is the life-giving force, pulsing with vitality and sustaining all living beings. It symbolizes the spark of energy that animates the cosmic tapestry and brings forth the wonders of life. Nemātis is the animating principle, the essence of spirit that gives life its dynamic presence and the driving force behind all creation.
Uariātis
The second Source, Uariātis, embodies flowing motion and constant change. It represents the ever-evolving nature of existence, the currents that shape and reshape the course of cosmic events. Uariātis speaks to the fluidity of life and the transformative power that ensures nothing remains static, guiding the flow of time, growth, and transformation.
Tirātis
The third Source, Tirātis, represents the force of physical manifestation. It embodies the materialization of energy and ideas, where thoughts and intentions solidify into tangible form. Tirātis is the grounding force that gives shape to abstract concepts, forming the structure and solidity of the material world. It is the crystallization of cosmic energy into the physical reality we perceive.
Together, these Three Sources—Nemātis, Uariātis, and Tirātis—work in harmony, creating the cosmic balance of life, change, and physical existence. Their interdependence mirrors the complexity of the cosmos itself, where energy, motion, and matter unite to form the ever-evolving tapestry of existence.
Source and Inspiration
The concept of the Cintutrîberous is inspired by the alchemical Tria Prima—the Three Alchemical Primes—representing the foundational elements of the universe:
- Sulfur: The expansive, connecting force, akin to Nemātis (life-giving energy).
- Mercury: The omnipresent, transformative spirit, like Uariātis (flow and change).
- Salt: The contractive, crystallizing force, similar to Tirātis (physical manifestation).
