The egg splits into two, and Phanes, the first of the Gods, appears. Phanes appears in Black Book 6 in the autumn of 1916. His attributes match the classical Orphic depictions, and he is described as the brilliant one, a God of beauty and light. Phanes is Jung’s God. On 28 September 1916, Phanes is described as a golden bird (Black Book 6 p. 119). On 20 February 1917, Jung addresses Phanes as the messenger of Abraxas (Ibid., p. 167). On 20 May 1917, Philemon says that he will become Phanes (Ibid., p. 195). INSCRIPTION TRANSLATION : “This is the image of the divine child. It means the completion of a long path. Just as the image was finished in April 1919, and work on the next image had already begun, the one who brought the ¤ came, as FILMWN [Philemon] had predicted to me. I called him FANHS [Phanes], because he is the newly appearing God.” Illumination page 113 | Phanes April, 1919
