If I have 'manna' in my constitution, I can attract 'manna' from heaven. 'Saturn' is not only in the sky, but also deep in the earth and in the ocean.
Rudhyar, citing Paracelsus via Hartmann, deploys manna as the exemplary substance of the microcosm-macrocosm correspondence, asserting that inner possession of a quality enables the attraction of its celestial homologue — a doctrine foundational to Jungian alchemical psychology.
Dane Rudhyar, The Astrology of Personality: A Re-formulation of Astrological Concepts and Ideals in Terms of Contemporary Psychology and Philosophy, 1936thesis
not manna and honey, nor the fair limbs whose embraces are pleasant to the flesh. None of these do I love when I love my God

Jung, Carl Gustav, Symbols of Transformation, 1952thesis
