Wind carrying spirit in its belly

Meaning

The Hermetic belly of wind is an image of carriage: air bears the universal spirit or matter and the higher powers communicated through it. Wind is also explicitly defined as air moved and agitated. The figurative pregnancy therefore complements, rather than replaces, the local physical definition.

The later gloss repeats “wind, that is air,” making the carrier identification direct. Belly does not identify an ordinary laboratory vessel or a discrete ingredient. In the parental sequence it differentiates transport and reception from the sun and moon’s generative offices and earth’s nourishment.
