The word matrix originally comes from Latin and refers to mother or breeding female and is closely linked to creation and in alchemy it is also referred to as the source from which everything originated and is also considered the beginning of all things and is also closely linked to the chaos. Specifically, nature is also associated as the primordial mother and typically it is also linked to the female aspects and the person of creation is also represented as a female or wise person and metals are also important in these interpretations and the mercurius is considered as the root of all metals. The world tree also has a high priority and feeds the first living beings on this earth with its fruits and the world tree is said to be considered the origin of the metals according to interpretations and have brought the different elements through long growth into the world and alchemy has also focused on following the ideals of nature according to philosophy. Numerous different interpretations have emerged within alchemy and many of the principles of creation have been handed down through cryptic texts and in order to decipher this knowledge, one also needed the understanding of numerous other important topics and even when it comes to the night sky with the celestial bodies, different interpretations appear and in alchemy, planets are also associated with different metals. According to other traditions, the metals were created from seeds and also occult or geometric influences are also closely linked to this principle and there are numerous alchemical works of art in which the creation is expressed and often it was also considered a chemical process and was also symbolized with the first matter, the Materia Prima. In one of my last posts I have already gone into more detail about the chaos and if you would like to learn more about creation according to alchemy, I can recommend this post here where I have already gone into it in more detail.
