  I was unaware of this. In fact, your remark seems to be *very important*
  (see below)...

  On,
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilius_Valentinus
  it says,
     Most famous works (in Latin)
     Currus Triumphalis Antimonii (The triumphal chariot of antimony)
  and,                                                      ^^^^^^^^
     Valentinus had connections to the esoteric Freemasonry as his work
     Azoth proves (VA05, REBIS with the freemasonry square and compasses
     in the hands). Behind his works stood the secret knowledge of
     spiritual alchemy, the Opus Magnum.
               ^^^^^^^
  So, I suppose we were both right. See also,
     http://www.sacred-texts.com/alc/antimony.htm

  Anyway, the symbol for both antimony and the Earth is an 'o' with a
  '+' inside of it or on top of it,
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony#History
  In astronomy, the '+' is almost always written inside of the 'o' -

Antimony has nothing to do with the moon, as far as I know, it comes=20
from the French antimoine, meaning =93anti-monk=94 - the story goes that a=

Benedictine monk in the 1600's, Basilius Valentinus, thought it was a=20
good treatment for health during fasting, and put some of the element=20
in the communal food bowl, and managed to kill most of his fellow=20
monks. Oops.
