But there are myths which speak for themselves. In this class we may include the double-sexed first creators, of every cosmogony. The Greek Zeus-Zēn (æther), and Chthonia (the chaotic earth) and Metis (the water), his wives; Osiris and Isis-Latona—the former god representing also ether—the first emanation of the Supreme Deity, Amun, the primeval source of light; the goddess earth and water again; Mithras,[281] the rock-born god, the symbol of the male mundane-fire, or the personified primordial light, and Mithra, the fire-goddess, at once his mother and his wife; the pure element of fire (the active, or male principle) regarded as light and heat, in conjunction with earth and water, or matter (female or passive elements of cosmical generation). Mithras is the son of Bordj, the Persian mundane mountain,[282] from which he flashes out as a radiant ray of light. Brahma, the fire-god, and his prolific consort; and the Hindu _Unghi_, the refulgent deity, from whose body issue a thousand streams of glory and _seven_ tongues of flame, and in whose honor the Sagniku Brahmans preserve to this day a _perpetual_ fire; Siva, personated by the mundane mountain of the Hindus—the _Meru_ (Himalaya). This terrific fire-god, who is said in the legend to have descended from heaven, like the Jewish Jehovah, _in a pillar of fire_, and a dozen of other archaic, double-sexed deities, all loudly proclaim their hidden meaning. And what can these dual myths mean but the physico-chemical principle of primordial creation? The first revelation of the Supreme Cause in its triple manifestation of spirit, force, and matter; the divine _correlation_, at its starting-point of evolution, allegorized as the marriage of _fire_ and water, products of electrifying spirit, union of the male active principle with the female passive element, which become the parents of their tellurian child, cosmic matter, the _prima materia_, whose spirit is ether, the ASTRAL LIGHT!
