Across cultures, the Sun symbolized consciousness and divine energy. Some esoteric traditions speak of “marrying elementals” — often misunderstood literally.

Could this actually represent inner alchemy and sacred union (Hieros Gamos)?

Was immortality meant as energetic transcendence rather than physical eternity?

Curious to hear interpretations from mythology, occult studies, and spiritual philosophy enthusiasts.
