'''''[[The Holy Mountain]]''''' is a 1973 Mexican surrealist film directed, written, produced, co-scored, co-edited by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky, who also participated as a set designer and costume designer on the film. The film is based on ''Ascent of Mount Carmel'' by John of the Cross and ''[[Mount Analogue]]'' by René Daumal. In this film, much of Jodorowsky's visually psychedelic story follows the metaphysical thrust of ''Mount Analogue''. This is revealed in such events as the climb to the [[alchemy|alchemist]], the assembly of individuals with specific skills, the discovery of the mountain that unites [[Heaven]] and [[Earth]] "that cannot not exist," and symbolic challenges along the mountain ascent.
A '''[[Diamond]]''' is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a [[crystal]] structure called diamond cubic. Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India. Deceiving others with synthetic diamonds is specifically mentioned as a transgression against non-stealing in [[Jainism]]. According to [[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]], diamonds fall under the rulership of the planet [[Mars]], and also very strongly under the star Agol. Because of its connection to Mars, and thus the element of iron, the presence of diamonds will negate the properties of lodestone and the two minerals should not be placed near each other during magical workings.
