Spagyrics
Why Spagyrics?
-
Most powerful way to ingest a natural product in liquid form.
-
It lasts up to six times longer than a tincture extract does.
-
Smaller amounts give desired effects
-
Decarboxylation, saponification, and esterification forms compounds that are more bioavailable for absorption, and more closely resemble endogenous products
-
Made by ancient, tried-and-perfected methods, using modern equipment
-
Slow medicine is the future of wellness, bodily knowledge and awareness
-
Lends to greater familiarity of the classical archetypes, and how we can apply that to our own life experience for increased insight
Many people have never heard the term spagyric before, and if you're one of them, it should be no surprise. These teachings and processes for making such confections were almost lost to the halls of time, and hands of rulers with hasty agendas to wipe out ancient knowledge, wisdom, and self empowerment. If you have heard of these medicaments before, then you already may know the kind of work that goes into producing them. The word itself comes from two roots, meaning to break apart and to recombine. Dissolve and Coagulate or Solve et Coagula, which you will hear a lot in alchemical theory,.
Perfected over many centuries, with its written history beginning in the 9th century in the Middle East, and coming to a head in it's approach and application with a man named Paracelsus, a royal physician, in the 1500s. The roots of Spagyrie date much further back, thousands of years even, and have been practiced and honed by many initiates over the centuries with alchemical philosophy and theory being the compass point and guiding light through it all.
Alchemical philosophy describes everything in existence and beyond being correspondent to seven archetypal forces expressed through "The One Great Thing". All things to come forth perceptible, and conceptual from this cosmic fabric of quintessence, can be broken down into three philosophic principles. The sacred trinary of Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury. Left capitalized because they are referring to the philosophical Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury, not the actual table salt, quicksilver, and brimstone.
When a practitioner produces these spagyric confections, they do so by separating those three principles from one another and purifying each until it cannot possibly be purified further. Always with a watchful eye on the seven classical archetypes correspondent to the planets, those principles are brought together once again for what's known as "The Kymical/Chemical Wedding". This sacred union of cleansed divine masculine (Sulfur) and purified divine feminine (Salt), come together in the hermetically sealed vessel, creating a new thing ("The new born child/the resurrection"). This allows the operator to give birth to new constituents that closer resemble endogenous compounds produced by the body, in turn facilitating greater bioavailability. Imprinted with the celestial alignment of that day, hour, and the operators intention/projection upon it, each one has a birth chart with it's own karmic predisposition. This process is made possible through the seven main operations of laboratory alchemy. Each one also reflecting internal processes that we undergo in the perfecting of our own being. As within, so without. When we tune ourselves, we tune all of creation a little with it.
It takes a long time to make a high quality spagyric where the results lend that new thing we are after. "The New Born Child" if you will, is the esterification, saponification, and decarboxylation reactions that happen when this process is carried out correctly. As mentioned above, these compounds being far easier assimilated by our tissues, are transported across our cellular membranes rapidly, as they resemble natural products already endogenous. Typical tinctures stay effective for 12 hours, but spagyrics have been shown to stay effective for up-to 72.
At Mushroomlife we've taken the spagyric process even further and added the water fraction of each mushroom as well so no possible benefits of these precious ingredients are wasted. Think of these as a triple extract with a metamorphosis twist. Pictured below are an example of the three principles involved in the process of spagyrie.
Salt
The pure mineral portion
Sulfur
The oily, fatty, and or resinous portion.
