alchemy is misunderstood in society
people have been misled into thinking that alchemy is a matter of turning lead into gold
this is a metaphor for another thing :
turning your life into perfect health ( lead into gold)
so to do that, we use the
power of the sun : light
so alchemy is the science of catching light in a material thing in order to eat or drink it
read that again
quotation :
Stéphane Barillet's Solar Elixir
The "Little" Solar Elixir by Stéphane Barillet
Here is the description of a very simple alchemical experiment which allowed many to start the hermetic way, and to some (who felt the interest of this "little" work with the insignificant appearance) to advance very far in pure alchemy, or even "simply" in a process of personal healing.
It was following this text that I decided to work with Stéphane Barillet, who is a pedagogue and an alchemist like we weren't used to seeing many of in the somewhat obscure history of this gorgeous art.
As I very often use this process during my distillation, spagyric or alchemy training, I think it is practical and useful to publish Stéphane's text here,The Great Alchemical Work ".
A short note to the attention of the scholars of the science of Hermes, this work evokes the great way which is said to use "a raw material, a vase, an operation". Dry way despite the use of water. In fact, it is rather a light version of the dry way of solar calcination as presented by the prophet Ezekiel (who seems to use a parable instead of the magnifying glass and another material than water).
"Capture a ray of sunlight, and you will obtain the greatest treasure in the world!"
This is what I propose to teach you today
by means of a process almost unknown to the actual hour.
This will perhaps be your first experience of transmutation, you will tell me about it...
Get a glass of spring water, a magnifying glass, a large nail and a magnet. Arrange them as in this photo by directing the light beam to the center of the glass. After an hour, your solar water is ready and you have obtained a universal elixir. Take a few drops of it every day and watch what happens in your life. Easy, right? What happened in this experience? We simply captured light and forced it to join with the water using the magnifying glass, the nail and especially the magnet. This water is truly alchemical. Nothing to do with water just exposed to the sun which would absolutely not fix the light.
