Notes[ | ]
"The Black, the Yellow, and the Red" are the colors of the three current Forge-principle ingredients, which also correspond with the traditional alchemical stages of nigredo, citrinas, and rubedo. However, not all of these ingredients are associated with the Forge of Days proper, which suggests that the usage of "Flint" here refers not solely to the Hour Flint, but rather to an occult principle which, similar to the current Forge-principle, shared its name with an Hour. The renaming of Flint to Forge probably resulted from the Forge of Days killing Flint in the Lithomachy.
The Unwise Mortal, having ascended to the service of Egg Unhatching, may have later become The Door in the Eye, who is a God-from-Flesh but has also been identified with the Egg.
