Sulfur (lat. sulfur, sulphur) is an element. It is a tasteless and odorless, yellow nonmetal. In nature, sulfur occurs both as a free element and in various compounds. Free element sulfur is found in the soil of volcanic areas. In Finnish, sulfur has also been called the archaic name tulikivi, because it burns easily , producing pungent-smelling, “flint-bitter” sulfur dioxide. Sulfur has been known since ancient times.
Symbol meaning
In alchemy, the trinity (tria prima) is the union of salt, sulfur, and mercury. These substances are mixtures (also permutations) of the four basic elements; Water, Fire, Earth, and Air/Heaven. In alchemy, sulfur is depicted as a triangle with a cross underneath. It represents the soul of all materials and living beings. It also symbolizes consciousness and the expansion of thought. To the ancient alchemist, the qualities associated with sulfur were dryness, heat, masculinity, evaporation, expansion, and dissolution. Sulfur is considered a bridge that connects the mind and body. It is also an effective tool for opening the soul and consciousness. In Christianity, sulfur is traditionally associated with hell and the devil.
Ritual use
In witchcraft, sulfur is used to expel negative people or energies and to resolve problems. It is also used to remove various curses, obstacles and spells, as well as in rituals related to fire, masculinity and Saturn. Sulfur is also an effective ingredient in portable magic items and amulets.
