Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 It's spagyric. It involves a lot more than mixing in the ash of the marc. There is a wonderfully misnamed book called " The Practical Handbood of Plant Alchemy " by Manfred M Junius published by Healing Arts Press. It is not a weekend job, this is a lifetime of poking at retorts and tending small fires of penguine dung, but apparently the results are worthwhile. The book is a really interesting and helpful look at wha alchemy was all about, and aparently the author worked for an Australian company which produced spagyric medicines and plant extracts. Does anybody have any exposure to " Australerba Laboratories " or any of their products?
