Saint Joseph the Carpenter
Georges de la Tour, 1645



The Inner light of the Divine Child

In alchemy the child often represents
the inner Stone. Once developed and
manifested into inner birth, the child
represents the stage of life when the
old man is transformed and reborn
through the alchemical process. The
child here represents the inner guiding
light of the new spirituality and
consciousness. The nurturing of this
new born light matures into that most
wonderful presence known as the
light of the "Master Within".
