What is the Black Sun?

[MercuryWisdom]

It has come to my attention recently that I don’t really understand what the Black Sun is about.

Usually I have a good intuitive understanding to what allegories and spiritual symbols are about.

However with the black sun I’m not really sure.

Is it a physical actual black sun relating to the Gods? Or is it an astral sun? But what does an astral sun mean?

Would like to know since it’s actually a popular and important symbol to us.

Hello.

We know that the black sun is about spiritual perfection. Sometimes I use it to keep my focus before meditation.
The website says it refers to the astral sun. It's also related to crows.

And the fact that the color black retains/attracts light could be related to that.

As for being physical, I'm not sure, anything physical is also spiritual but spiritual may not be physical so I can't say for sure.

The Black Sun is a fascinating symbol, and I feel it has some extremely deep Alchemical meaning that we would have to really Meditate on in order to understand.

On the JoS under Satanic Symbols, it has a brief description that it represents the Nigredo stage of the Magnum Opus. Nigredo literally means blackness. This could be the purification stage of the Soul, where the Chakras are "burned to black" with sacred fire in order to purify them. The stage of spiritual death just before rebirth. It also says it represents the Astral Sun, as you mentioned.

I do feel like there is so much additional meaning beneath the surface with this symbol though. It's also supposed to represent the Eclipse in various Alchemical texts, and in a Spiritual sense this could also mean death beofre rebirth.

It would be awesome to have an extensive writing about it. The JoS also mentions the Black Sun being closely related to the God Sorath. So there could also be much deeper meaning here.

I would also love to know more

Hail Satan!!

Oh, I know about the Nigredo and it makes sense. But why is it a sun though? As you said seems to have some mystery behind it still.

I'm not entirely sure, so don't take this as fact, but I think it relates to what Lord Beelzebul said, "Darkness is light turned inside out"
It could be the Sun turned inside out, thus making it a "black sun"

Something I personally would like to know is how the color green relates to it, since in Wewelsburg castle, it seems to have a green hue.

I don't really consider his work to be all that trustworthy, but Miguel Serrano has said that the black sun emits green rays

"we need to call upon Lucifer and the white Gods that await behind the golden star within the green rays of the Black Sun"

Does anyone know anything about this? I would greatly appreciate it.

Oh, that's fascinating! I always just assumed it was only a green hue as a consequence of the marble that was used. But obviously it was intentionally green.

Green is also very significant in Alchemy. Like the symbol of The Green Lion that swallows the sun. Interesting. Green is supposed to represent vitriol and Mercury and also a substance called Aqua Regia, which was supposed to be able to dissolve gold. Obviously as we know, this had a spiritual meaning and not literal gold.

Check out this Medieval depiction of The Green Lion:

The Seven red stars must represent the Chakras.

So highly possible that the Black Sun could also be connected with the color green, as it all relates to the various stages of purifying the Soul.

Perhaps the opposite of the golden Sun? Very interesting indeed.

Yes! Also thank you for your reply they are very interesting and got me thinking.

Judging by its significance to the stage of dissolution or putrefaction, the earlier comment by @Swabian Starlight really adds alot to the concept,
Its the reality we don't see, unlike the solar mythos and the golden sun that governs the outward light,conscious mind and outward knowledge,The black Sun governs the pillars for the former to thrive, its the darkness that gives shape to light,The subconscious that manifests the world for the conscious mind,
Ideas of the black Sun as a physical body has alot to do with the planet Saturn and the forces its governs in the physical existence,this isn't per JOS so I might be wrong,Its an idea prevalent in the electric universe theory ,

I doubt the Black Sun has anything to do with Saturn and our Sun, it is way more far and important then those. Each Sun influences us not just our own, the Black Sun even being far away it's still of a highly and extremely importance and impact/effect towards all of us on this planet, I don't know where you guys took this from, also color green , I don't know, I think Black Sun has to do with all "colors" and beyond that.

No, The Black sun has nothing to do with the subconscious , that's more of a Father Satan territory/realm and of Neptun as Planet same with Moon and each that contribues to their greatest purposes and energies. This Sun is of a potent and powerful energy , one of creation and life , not just destruction.

I see God Sorath the same as Satan as Beelzebul, a God which went all away in the Universe exploring it's enigmas and deepth's therefore not only discovering the Black Sun but becoming the Black Sun , the eternal source .

I don't know how this eventually led to Sorath ,would you expound more on that?
