The sulphur process (from Latinsulphur "sulfur", actually "sun-bearer", from sol "Sun" and ferre "to bear") is one of the three fundamental processes of the alchemical Tria Principia. Sulphur - and in the same sense also phosphorus (from Greekφωςφορος phosphoros "light-bearing"; LatinLucifer "light-bearer") - stands for everything combustible and is the principle with the highest inner dynamic. In it, the air and fire elements work together, which is why the alchemists also called this process "fire air". Its external material representatives are above all sulfur and all oily, fatty and aromatic volatile substances. In them the sulphur process has, as it were, come to rest externally to such an extent that they appear material. On the purely physical level, the sulphur process is related to the covalent bond known from chemistry[1].
