Synopsis

• Spagyrics is "Plant Alchemy"

Spagyrics is a 2-volume, 48-lesson course which teaches the preparation and uses of herbal elixirs, particularly the seven planetary elixirs used to rebalance the spiritual centers in the human body, the processes followed to obtain the vegetable stone (Opus Minor), the method for extracting the universal seed from rain water, and similar processes. Theoretical, practical and philosophical aspects of spagyrics are developed in the course materials. Theory on philosophical mercury and the alkahests is also given. The investment in laboratory equipment necessary for the plant work is minimal.

The practice of Spagyrics and Alchemy brings about an intimate knowledge of visible Nature, and its invisible energies - life and consciousness. This knowledge allows one to transmute themselves, to regenerate themselves, to attain Inner Initiation. Only then is the path of physical transmutation open to the initiate.
