Archetypes of Body

[Nau7ik]

I’m approaching the end of my study of the archetypes of mind, body, and spirit as things in themselves. Ra suggested that we study each type on its own, so we could contemplate the three Matrices, the three Potentiatiors, for example.
I’m on the Great Way of the Body, XIV. The Alchemist (Temperance).

The Great Way of Body is a mirror image of the thrust of the activity of the mind. I figure that the wings are indicative of the spirit. They’re basically the wings of the winged solar disk (in my mind), which is a symbol for the spirit. He holds two vessels in his hands, pouring a liquid from the higher to the lower.
I’m not entirely sure what this is meant to indicate. I think that it’s saying one is open to receiving the influx of spirit. The body and mind have been initiated/transformed at this point. The Alchemist is illuminated, from the “sacrifice” of the Hanged Man. The Sun is directly behind his head and he has a single flame upon the crown of his head, just as the sun’s rays have a lamp at the end of each of its rays.

Im lost in regards the wings on his heels, though. All I can think of is Mercury/Hermes, the messenger of the gods.

Any thoughts on these symbols?
