Alchemical form of the interpretation of White Snow: White Snow, it is our young virgin, the mine of gold. 7 dwarves or gnomes (of the Greek gnôsis: knowledge) are the aspect of the mineral matter in its 7 prolongations (7 metals). Besides each dwarf has the character of the planet which dominates it. Grumpy is saturnien, Simplet is lunar, Joyeux is Venusian, etc...... But it is Grincheux the saturnien which renders more the service to the troop and can draw it from business on the occasion. Blanche Neige is given by the malicious queen to the green hunter so that this one makes it die. But finally after an apparent death, after having crunched malefic apple, the young virgin will marry the prince of her dreams who is young person and beautiful. This charming prince is our mercury philosophal (the attribute of the mercury of mythology is a perpetual youth of the face and body). And the union of this mercury and the virgin the conclusion will leave all the tales: they were happy and had many children. The hermetic multiplication obtained with the stone is in conformity with grows and multiplies genesis. (Robert Amberlain, shade of the cathedrals)
