Article: An Equinox Egg ExperimentBy Jim Roederer Copyright, 1993, 1997, 2000, Jim Roederer. All rights reserved. Reprinted from Issue 27 of The Stone Jim Roederer is an avid researcher in Alchemy, with a background in Esotericism spanning more than two decades. Long ago, Jim worked hard on magic - stage magic, a la Blackstone or Houdini. Jim has always been supportive of efforts to expand education on alchemy in the US, and is a long time member of the organization. After a class in Dallas, Texas taught by A.F., my wife and I proceeded to set up an experiment to obtain the oil of egg without breaking the egg shell, called Equinox Egg Experiment. Procedure: We collected from a farmer two dozen non-processed (not store bought) eggs. We set up the egg experiment on the same day we received the eggs. These eggs were set up on tripods with collecting dishes underneath in a dark cabinet for six months to a year, starting 3/25/86, time 1:00 PM. The eggs were checked periodically with a flashlight to note any changes. Results: On 6/15/86, at 9:00 PM, we noticed a change in the weight of some of the eggs. They were lighter although no oil was present or visible. We knew something was happening. The albumen (the white of the egg) was turning to gas. The oil will soon start seeping out of the pores of the egg shell. Periodically, checking was continued. On 4/30/87, all the eggs (two dozen) were lighter in weight; the eggs did not smell or rot since the beginning of the experiment. The oil oozed out of the pores of the egg shells. This oil would sometimes drip from the bottom of the egg into a crucible or calcination dish or any collecting dish. After the oil is collected, it can be purified and used as a salve or tincture. When opening some of the eggs, we found that they had a reddish-brown colored solid inside, in almost a crystalline or glassy state. These eggs probably had plenty of oil in them. Sue and Russ House can verify this as we gave them some eggs. Today, 3/29/94, this experiment is still going on, at least one half of the eggs (one dozen) still has oil oozing from them, and is still being collected. Conclusion: My wife and I feel that this is a good way to collect fresh oil from eggs. You can also see that this experiment takes longer than one year to run.
