Harry Potter: The Road Map to Liberating Alchemy Part 2

Harry Potter and The Alchemical Wedding are both allegories of the method of
Divine Liberation. However there many other liberating symbols and
archetypes in Harry Potter besides the above parallels.

Harry is born in Godrics Hollow.  A hollow is a small valley, and in the
name Godric we immediately see the word, God. This is Gods valley. This
symbol certainly is universal. For example chapter 6 of Tao Teh Ching of Lao
Tzu speaks of the spirit of the valley, who is immortal. This valley is
the human heart, the place where the inner God lives.

The lily is one of the symbols of the Rosicrucians, the rose and lotus being
others. Lily Potter symbolises the immortal, pure and divine remnant of the
original Child of God in the heart.

James is an animagus who can change himself into a stag, which symbolises
the thirst of the Child of God for the Water of Life flowing from the throne
of God. That is the pure spiritual food which nourishes the new soul.

If we live a pure, spiritual life and have a longing for liberation, a new
soul will be born in the heart.  Lily and James marry and have a son: Harry.
This is the messiah in the life of the alchemist, the long promised Son of
Eternal Fullness whose coming has been prophesied. He is the archetypal
hero, the liberator who will lead the fallen human being back to the
promised land after a journey through the desert for 40 years. In the New
Testament he is Jesus, the saviour of the world. This new soul will grow and
increase in beauty and strength, gradually replacing the mortal soul.

In this context Ron is John the Baptist, the old earthly personality, who
will sacrifice himself for the new soul, as foreshadowed in the chess game
in part 1. 

Hermione personifies the growing influence of the radiations of the spirit,
which will form the new Mercury Consciousness.

In the microcosm there is a conscious force which is the result of thousands
of incarnations. This microcosmic or auric self contains all the past
experiences of the personality and is virtually immortal as it remains in
the microcosm between incarnations. It is neither good nor evil but is the
impersonal bearer of all the persons karma, his good and bad
characteristics, and everything that is part of the treasure of past
experience. This higher self is personified by Voldemort.

When the new soul is born a fire of unearthly beauty and power is kindled in
the heart. This is a fire from another universe and its light and warmth are
of a higher vibration than anything found in this universe. Compared to the
new soul, the microcosmic self is composed of darkness, and so the higher
self tries to kill the new soul, just as Herod tried to kill the baby Jesus.
This turns out to be impossible, and just as light drives darkness away, so
the new soul-fire drives the auric self to the boundary of the microcosm.
This is symbolised by Voldemort being driven out of his body when he tries
to kill Harry.
