The Egg and Its Uses by Sue House Copyright, 1993, 1997, 2000, Sue House. All rights reserved. Reprinted from Issue 27 of The Stone Originally published in the March 1994 Ora Et Labora. Sue is a member of the PON Board of Directors, presently serving as Director of Member Services. She lives in Winfield, Illinois, and has been working along esoteric lines for more than twenty-five years. A registered nurse and massage therapist, she began spagyric and alchemical work nearly 12 years ago. In 1992, she made a solid stone from eggs, using the shells, yolks, whites and all parts of the egg. In this article, Sue is explaining something of the preparation of tinctures and oils from eggs using simple equipment. Many of you have shown a interest in the egg - in both tincture and oil of egg yolk. Since we're coming into the "egg" season it may be a good time to work with this project. The tincture of egg has some very surprising attributes - it allegedly lowers the cholesterol levels in the blood. I know this is difficult to understand since it is the egg yolk that increases cholesterol and it is the egg yolk that is used to make the tincture. Put very simply, it is the harmful aspects of the yolk that are eliminated during the alchemical process, leaving a product that is very beneficial. The oil of egg made from the yolk is very high in protein, which is an excellent healing agent. When applied to a cut or wound the healing is accelerated sometimes more than 50 percent. Personally, we have witnessed some incredible results using oil of egg on our children and grandchildren. It is a "must" in your medicine cabinet. [It is also useful when applied to burns. Ed.] When making your tincture/oil it is a 2 week project and you will probably want to make both products, so start with a minimum of 3-4 dozen eggs. I usually use 6-7 dozen. The process I will explain is the "poor man's" process - for those who do not have much equipment, or for those of us who prefer not to use a lot of equipment. Those of you who prefer to use your Soxhlets can do this process in one day. I personally prefer to hold the tincture in my hands each day and energize it with my own vibrations. By the time the process is completed, the product is very highly charged. You will start with your eggs hard boiled and the yolks separated. Mash the yolk using a potato masher, getting them as fine as possible. Spread evenly over a foil-lined cookie sheet. Place on the bottom rack of the broiler of your oven. (If you do not have a broiler, you can place under heat lamps) Set the temperature to 350 degrees F to start. You can always adjust the heat as needed, being careful not to burn or scorch. You will need to watch very carefully, removing frequently to check and to stir and mash with a fork. Continue until you note that there is no more steam rising from the yolk. Remove and cool to touch. The yolk will be dark yellow to toasty tan in color. When cool, place in a blender (small amounts at a time) and grind to a fine consistency. Have several clean quart size jars with lids ready. Fill the jars 1/2 full with the ground yolks. Cover yolks with pure grain alcohol until it reaches two fingers breadth above the yolks. Be sure that the cover is tightly sealed. It may e necessary to place plastic food wrap over the top of the jar before placing lid on, this will secure the lid even tighter to decrease evaporation. Shake jars until all of yolk is mixed with alcohol. Place jars on electric warming trays (if you don't have any, then find a warm place to store, such as on top of a furnace or hot water heater, or in a sunny window, or even in the oven if you have a gas pilot light that runs). Leave for 2 weeks, shaking each day and instilling with your own vibrations. You will not want others to be disturbing the jars during this time. At the end of 2 weeks, you will need to filter the product into another container. The feces (solid egg matter) are discarded. What remains is the egg tincture. Save 1/2 of this tincture. Store in dark colored bottles that have a dropper cap. Take 3-4 drops per day in a small amount of wine or water. After two weeks, allow your body to regulate and communicate what your dosage should be. To make oil of egg, take the second 1/2 of the tincture and place in a retort. [A simple distillation train will also work. - Ed.] Place the retort into a container of sand that is placed on top of a electric coil heater. Turn the heat on to low. Place a open-mouth container under the neck of the retort to hold the fluid that will evaporate and then condense as it comes over. When it is noted that there is no more fluid coming over, you will be left with oil of egg in the retort. Store it in dark colored bottles with dropper caps. Use by placing a drop onto a cut or wound 1-2 times per day. Whether you are using the tincture or the oil, be aware that you do not want to contaminate the dropper by touching any object directly and then returning it to the bottle. You may find it very interesting to spend time meditating and in contemplation on the symbol of the egg while you are doing this work. The process of alchemy provides us with keys to a greater inner understanding. Only by performing the actual process of an alchemical experiment can we truly know these inner truths, we thought we knew by reading or talking about them. Enjoy your work and reap the many benefits. Send mail to CompanyWebmaster
