mythologyofthepoetandthemuse:    Proclus, the neoplatonic philosopher, although subsequent and therefore not present in the Eleusinian Mysteries, mentions that the officiator of the mysteries used the invocation cry “Ύε κύε!” to gather the  protection and power of both the heavens and earth, or else of both the male and female aspects of divinity.“Ύε” may possibly be translated as “You may rain” and  “κύε” as “You may incubate”, a ritual reminding us the sexual intercourse and also the fourth stage of the seven operations of alchemy, Conjunction. Mentally this state of being is close to what is called the true self, the union of the male and female sides of our personalities into a more intuitive yet authentic state of consciousness. -- source link
