Creating Spagyrics

Spagyric creation can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. There is really no standard and unlimited routes one can go about obtaining the life force underneath each kingdom of life. What we have access to and what environment we are in will often determine which ways we will go about this process. So let’s start with a simple explanation and work our way to some more complex ideas. Knowing what you want and what you’re trying to get out of whatever it is you are working with is often what sparks the beginning process. Plants, insects, animals, minerals, and metals each have their own hidden life qualities locked inside with their own way to reveal the expressions under the shell. The world is your playground. I trust you will use your human abilities to have discernment of what to use as you feel moved to learn the process.

The refinement and recombination are the basis of the work that I am involved in no matter what it is I am working with. To obtain the 3 philosophical principles of the plant and animal kingdom are pretty much the same. To obtain the alkali mineral salts or body (physical structure) as seen below I put fire to the body until it turned to gray ash or no more carbon or smoke will come off. As seen below the gray ash was left behind after the first firing of plant material.

Then i would pour distilled water over the ash to leach the mineral salts out, filter then evaporate to leave behind the mineral salts. Often times once the water is evaporated it needs another run with fire the further purify the salts. As seen below there are still darker carbon-rich salts that could still be cleaned up

After another fire or few and some more leeching of water eventually most salts will finally achieve a nice white color. Sometimes crystals will form with a variety of structured shapes depending on what was in the salts and the rate/temperature it cooled. Once they have achieved this nice state they would then be ground and used in the addition of the spagyric-making process. This would be a refined body and structure ready for use. Usually ground up to increase the surface area to be added to the sulfur (oil) and mercury(spirit or alcohol) for the reunion or as some would call the alchemical marriage.

To obtain the Sulfur or oils of the plant kingdom there are few ways to go about it but most often either retrieved through hydro distillation (bottom left image of essential oil floating on water) or solvent extraction from a sort of menstruum (bottom right menstruum extracting the oils and constituents of a redwood)

Hydro-distilled essential oils could be distilled again to clean up or exalt to make it purer. solvent extracts once tinctured (tincture meaning to color) can be filtered or poured off to leave the plants solids behind to then be distilled to reclaim the menstruum. once the menstruum is distilled off left behind is the soul, sulfur, or oils (seen bottom left) to be reconstituted with the plant spirit (ethanol) as seen on the bottom right.

To retrieve the spirit of the plant kingdom I create a fermentation combination usually of honey and depending on the time of year might use a combination of grapes, apples, plums, or peaches from the year’s harvest, or whatever I have access to. put into an airlock container and some yeast i let it work its magic until it decides its done bubbling. once finished consumed the sugars it can be distilled several times to concentrate the spirit and remove the water. Each plant spagyric could be created using the plants own spirit such as a Pinion pine being fermented to obtain its own spirit to be added to a Pinion essential oil and Pinion salt to create a truly potent expression of its internal energetic expression.

Once each of the 3 principles has been obtained they can then be recombined to make a truly beautiful and potent expression of the immortal parts of the inner workings hidden below.
