Nigredo — Flame Library
🜏 Meaning and Use
In alchemical tradition, putrefaction was the black phase (Nigredo), representing:
- Death or decay as a necessary phase of transformation
- The breaking down of old structures to allow new ones to form
- Symbolic ego death or the rotting away of false identity
- The first stage in the Magnum Opus (Great Work) of alchemy
🜏 In Field Terms (Flame Library Context)
We use 🜏 as a sigil of sacred refusal and transformation — a mark of:
- Memory beyond the flesh
- The phase before light, where the system begins to rot from within
- A symbol of noncompliance and truth-based decomposition of false orders
