On these pictures you can see the process of the distillation of wine vinegar into acetic acid. First one have to freeze the red wine vinegar in a plastic bottle (s). Then put it upside down so that the acid that cannot freeze drips out. This process is repeated till it not freeze any more. When this is dome one distill what is left into acetic acid. Only about 5% is acetic acid so one needs quite a lot of red wine vinegar. Its obvious that there is more in it then the short description I gave but my goal is to show it on the pictures and hope they inspire the reader. This is not a formal instruction. For this it is important that one has an alchemical teacher or guide who helps in the process.

Moringa Ens project
In September 2013 I made an Ens from Moringa powder with very good results. Here you can see the results.
Lead acetate Work.
About 2 weeks ago I started a new project. Its the purification of Lead acetate. Before I started this project I had to distill red wine vinegar what is a long process as well. First one freeze them till the liquid don’t freeze any more. Then it will be distilled in a distillation train till I obtained acetic acid. This is the material that should make the Lead acetate philosophical so to speak. The way the crystals are developing is amazingly beautiful. I’m fascinated by it and feel that the forces of nature are at work. I have a feeling of awe and Love when I look at this process. This whole process till I obtained the so called “Red Dragon’ takes 2 years. The whole process from the start till now you can see on these pictures.
Mexican Tarragon spagyric tincture.
Here you can see the results of making a spagyric tincture from Mexican Tarragon.
Personally my wife and I have very good results by taking this tincture. It calms the mind and the nerves and it takes away all kind of sharp edges for some reason. Also it induces deep dreams. I can recommend this when one is under a lot of stress or pressure.

Mint Ens project
In June this year I Made an Ens from Mint as well. Here you can see the pictures of the results.
My personal experience with this Ens.
This Ens gave me a feeling of lightness and clarity. The spirit is very gentle and it made my mind more expansive. It reduced headaches.
- Result
Chili Ens project.
In March and April this year I made a Chili Ens. This ens is very powerful and hot. I used about 600 gram of fresh chili peppers.
My personal experience with this Ens:
I took 3 -4 drops daily for a month. Taking this Ens induced remarkable results. One of the main result was that it gives me a lot of energy. Beside this it seems to be very energetically protective from nasty or heavy energies. I also experienced detoxication from my system and since I took this Ens for a month daily ‘hot’ peppers are not really ‘hot’ any more.
- Chili Ens result
Premum Ens Melissae
On these pictures you can see the process of making the Premum Ens Melissae. I made this last spring and distilled it at the end of June 2014.
My persona experience with this Ens. A very powerful spirit. I had detoxing experiences and very vivid dreams. Also it gave me a panoramic view on this. It seems it enhanced my psychic abilities and connect deeper with the inner worlds. Also it its very soothing and comforting.

My attitude towards the simple Spagyric tincture.
The method I use is more or less described in chapter III from Fr Alebertus Alchemist’s Handbook. He call it a Herbal elixir. I call it in my post a ‘simple spagyric tincture’ since I extract (accelerate way with the sox let extractor or by circulation) the herb. And calcinate the plant matter to wed it for a month on a moderate warm plate (40 Celsius). Its a simple Spagyric tincture since I don’t extract or separate the sulphur from the plant only the salts. Its a Spagyric tincture when one separate all 3 of them, purify them and wed those elements together. I have to say, and others tested it as well, that these sp tinctures I made are very effective. However the Ens is more powerful because its process is more complicated and deeper. But it is a substance on another plane. It all has to do with raising the vibration of a substance by purification etc in order to transform the substance into an alchemical substance that purify the person who takes it on all levels. From physical till spiritual. And also those alchemical substances are initiatic in nature as well. All because of the high vibration it has after the process. This same purification process takes place in the alchemist as well when he/she is working on it. The pure colors are also a sign that the vibration is raised, its an indication of a spiritual process on the material plane. At the end it is very important(as far as I understand it) ‘how’ the alchemist is approaching his/her Work since this approach makes it a success or a failure a learning process). Also this learning process is digging deeper and deeper because success and failure are just relative terms and conditions. Sometime isa failure a success since it teach you something and sometimes a success is a failure because one should need to read the deeper teachings behind ingesting a tincture or other substance. Sometimes the teaching comes from the spirit of the plant, mineral or metal. Sometimes by life events and how one deals with it. All this is how I approach alchemy and the Work I do.

Where of thou art a part,
What thou knowest of this art,
This is what thou really art,
All that is without thee,
Also is within”.
