Elijah and Salome! The cycle is completed and the gates of the mysteries have opened again. Elijah leads Salome, the seeing one, by the hand. She blushes and lowers her eyes while lovingly batting her eyelids. “White bird of mine, I suppose you can’t find your way back? Did you get up and leave because you couldn’t live with me? Ah, Salome! There she comes. Come to me, Salome! Another night has passed. I didn’t hear you cry, but I hung and still hang.” Salome: “I haven’t cried anymore, for good fortune and misfortune are balanced in me.” I: “ I cannot. My brain is like lead, I can only whimper for help. I have no way of knowing whether everything is falling or standing still. My hope is with my white bird. Oh no, could it be that the bird means the same thing as hanging?” Satan: “Reconciliation of the opposites! Equal rights for all! Follies!” I: “I hear a bird chirping! Is that you? Have you come back?” Bird: “ If you love the earth, you are hanged; if you love the sky, you hover.” I: “What is earth? What is sky?” B: “Everything under you is the earth, everything above you is the sky. You fly if you strive for what is above you; you are hanged if you strive for what is below you.” I: “What is above me? What is beneath me?” B: “Above you is what is before and over you; beneath you is what comes back under you.” I: “And the crown? Solve the riddle of the crown for me!” B: “The crown and serpent are opposites, and are one. Did you not see the serpent that crowned the head of the crucified?” I: “What, I don’t understand you.” B: “ What words did the crown bring you? ‘Love never ends’— that is the mystery of the crown and the serpent.” I: “But Salome? What should happen to Salome?” B: “You see, Salome is what you are. Fly, and she will grow wings.” The clouds part, the sky is full of the crimson sunset of the completed third day. The sun sinks into the sea, and I glide with it from the top of the tree toward the earth. Softly and peacefully night falls -Carl Jung. The Red Book.
