Like the other two main stages on this level, Cohobation has a number of minor stages included in its terms of reference. Basically though it refers to successive distillations which has the effect of purifylng Sulphur, Salt and Mercury and bringing it to the required vibrational rate. This is shown pictorially by the figure of the Hanged Man who is totally submerged in water, with a faint glow emanating from his head. The figure of the man represents the three essences of Mercury, Sulphur and Salt in the form of Spirit, Soul and Body respectively (its true associations). The figure in Key 12 is subjected to rising and falling tides, which provide the effect of Cohobation. On another level it represents the Salt which is the Body
