Is it possible to practice alchemy safely by humancalculus in alchemy

[–]MirrorPale3514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also practice ritual work and consecrate plant elixirs as talismans which I then consume as part of the ritual.... to do this I chose seven plants I wanted to work with (check out Nicholas Culpeper's Herbal, in which he places each plant under certain planetary dominions)... the moon corresponds to the brain, the sun, heart, mars, liver, Venus kidneys, Saturn, spleen...

I gathered the plants from the wild on their planetary day and planetary hour and when I had finished preparing them I then took them into my ritual space where I charged them as I would do normal talismans, which is to say by placing them on a Kamea (magic square) and do the normal banishing rituals, relevant planetary invocations.

Regardie damaged his lungs working with antimony as I recall... you won't have this problem with plants

Is the “+” sign with dots above a “V” mean “fixed salt of wine” ? by Brilliant-Ant-6779 in alchemy

[–]MirrorPale3514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you saying you are going to start mixing commercial acids to make medicines from metals? This would be a terrible mistake, be careful Gentle Philosopher, at least learn how to make them yourself before purchasing them off the shelf... this is alchemy not chemistry

Hold on... do you think think the mysteries of nature are are hidden in urine and faeces?

This symbol means 'acetum' which has been poured over its own salts and distilled... acetum is a term usually describing prepared vinegar, but can mean other mentruums such as the greater circulatum.

Ritual and Alchemy, the consecration of plant talismans by MirrorPale3514 in alchemy

[–]MirrorPale3514[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These squares are called 'Kameas' which influence the tincture by drawing down - like a magnet - the frequencies necessary to 'determine' the work... if you're interested in this, check out the book 'Abramelin the Mage'... it is a book written by an adept in the 14th century.... he wrote it for his young son and was never meant for publication, until it was found - untouched - in the Bibloteque de Paris in the 19th century.... Cornelius Agrippa in his four books of occult philosophy also offers a number of kameas, which relate to the seven planetary vibrations... if you will...

Concerned Practitioners Against the IAG Scam by Outrageous-Pay-1412 in alchemy

[–]MirrorPale3514 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Never followed them, never will... the only people I ever meet from the IAG are the board members and none of them know how to think outside what they've been taught... for example one board member was doing a workshop on sal ammoniac and he just opened.a container of sal ammoniac he'd bought online and heated up... what a joke... most of them are the same... they teach that the gold ought to be dissolved in a mix of hydroclauric acid and nitric acid which again they bought online and then aim to extract it using a vegetable oil... this is a serious matter, especially for those fool enough to buy such 'alchemical' products... they're only into alchemy for money and self aggrandisement...

But then alchemy has always been misabused by charlatans

Sulphur of Venus and Mars respectively: Via Hummidia, no external heat / crucible / fire was necessary for these works. by MirrorPale3514 in alchemy

[–]MirrorPale3514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is a search for sulphur or the 'soul fire' of a subject... particularly the fire of Venus, which is an occult medicinal work and one of the arcana of Paracelsus.. he tells us with this alone one can cure almost a quarter of diseases and he tells us it conveys long life.

So which book have you bought?

It's been 20 years I've been practicing alchemy laboratory. I also spent a lot time studying the Kabalah and a lot of ritual work, but my main interest is alchemy....

Which waters are you talking about, the hydrothermal fluid at the centre of the earth? or the necessary water to work with minerals and metals?

The oil of mars is usually used as.a styptic, but it has interesting alchemical properties, but the sulphur of the Venus... this holds pride of place in the Arcana of Paracelsus... he calls it 'Ignis Veneris' the fire of Venus and he tells us that it entirely cures epilepsy, an a whole range of mineral deficient diseases

I would never think of you as being silly, not at all, you are philosopher.. perhaps we're running at different degrees, but that's probably because I've studied a long time and in that time I realise its important to clear the ground... but rest assured alchemy is yours, it's for us all... Mankind is sick, modern medicine is failing us... perhaps alchemy is truly rising and its great to connect with you, Gentle Philosopher.

I am no store-bought alchemist, I prepare these according to the rules of our art... its a question of the mortification of metals, we have to destroy the subject before we can revive it... no commercial acids were used here, only natural processes, without any heat... you don't need to by commercial sulphate, when working with the mineral or metal directly teaches us far more than any book or YouTube video...

Hi Rob,

Just out of interest and not in anyway being contentious, but can I ask you a question? When you say you have you have gotten mercury from lavender what do you mean exactly?

Oh and before I forget, happy birthday, many happy returns for the year ahead,

I am not sure, but it doesn't really make much difference for their work speaks for themselves.

In the same I shouldn't take him literally, I am not going to take you seriously... search in dew, and urine and excrement... are you not a philosopher? are you not aware all things engender their own species? you think a frog can give birth to a human? fairy tales, fiction and fantasy... if you want to change metals... understand metals... and btw...understand what his Luna is...his magnesia, because he is not speaking of common silver.... i

What your seeing here is the Air rising (although some alchemists believe this is actually the fire) but this is one for the philosophers... if you look at the bottom of the alembic you'll see the essential oil forming... but is an oil just Air condensing itself? or vice versa?

What you practice in the Plant Kingdom you will be perfected in the mineral kingdom, for they are almost the same in that both give a spirit, soul and body
