Symbolism:

There is a persistent belief in alchemical and hermetic tradition in the existence of two suns: a hidden one of pure "philosophical gold," consisting of the essential fire conjoined with aether, and the apparent one of profane material gold." The "dark, consuming fire" of the material sun conjoined with the common metal leads to its being called the "Dark" or "Black Sun".

Synchronicity:

The experience of two or more events as meaningfully related, where they are unlikely to be causally related. The subject sees it as a meaningful coincidence.
