    Rebis

    The Rebis (from the Latin res bina, meaning dual or double matter)
    is the end product of the alchemical magnum opus or great work.

    After one has gone through the stages of putrefaction and


    purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united
    once more in what is sometimes described as the divine
    hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both
    male and female qualities as indicated by the male and female head
    within a single body. The sun and moon correspond to the male
    and female halves, just as the Red King and White Queen are
    similarly associated.

    The Rebis image appeared in the work Azoth of the Philosophers


    by Basil Valentine in 1613.
    Rebis from Theoria Philosophiae
    Hermeticae (1617) by Heinrich
    Nollius

    The Rebis was a central element in the fourth season of the television series Castlevania.
    A perfect being of both masculine (sun) and feminine (moon) qualities, brought about by an
    eclipse, is used in the manga and 2009 anime of Fullmetal Alchemist.
    The angelic antagonist of the first season of 2008 anime Black Butler is a rebis, whose two
    forms initially appear as separate characters.
    In Gomorrah the series, Genny Savastano wears a t-shirt with a rebis illustration in the
    second and third season.
    In the Elden Ring video game, the Rebis is a recurring cosmological theme. The game
    heavily references the alchemical magnum opus, especially as depicted in Ripley's scroll.
    One of the versions of DC Comics' Negative Man, a member of the Doom Patrol, was a
    fusion of a male and a female called Rebis.
    In the Moebius/Jodorowski graphic novel series The Incal, a major character is a "perfect
    androgynous" called Solune (Sunmoon in the English translation)
