“Monday’s child is fair of face”

Like the zodiac signs, the days of the week also have their meanings. The stages in spiritual growth are represented symbolically by the alchemical operations. Calcinato is a first stage connected with the Moon, a stage represented by sleeping people whose souls are yet to be born. The Moon also stands for the Albedo, the silver or moon condition; the unperfected person who has yet to be raised to the perfected, or sun condition.
