The Sixth Step is the Congelation

The volitile spirit of the air must become fixed:
And the hitherto hidden sap with its water will be reproduced.

Many become united. What is tender and soft becomes stiff and hard:
The crooked organs of the serpent become manifest.

Out Mercurius is remade. He throws away the wings,
adorns himself with the kingly scepter, and his limbs become beautiful and clean.
