Testing Tinctures (from oneself or from others) is a very delicate matter. In my view and experience it is very important to take some things in consideration before you test a tincture. First of all it is very important to tune into the tincture. This can be done by holding the bottle or by meditate on it. Depending on the results one start the test or postpone it. Secondly, it is better not to take many different tinctures or other medication (when possible) when one test it. Also depending what the tincture is for. This to avoid mixing vibrations of different remedies. Thirdly one should take a period, 2 weeks or a month, maybe longer, to ingest daily and record when effects occur. These effects can be very intens or very subtle depending on the individual. From the start it is not always clear how these alchemical products turn out since we are all different and especially on the energetic level the effects can be very deep or on a long term. It is of utter importance that one: tune in, have the right timing and use the right dosage. This is also true with alchemical Work in general.

The last years I made several simple Spagyric tinctures. Here I would like to show the process of one of those.

There is a process of the separation of the elements in this case the salts (plant matter) is separated after extraction. This can be done in a mason jar or with a sox let extractor. These plant salts after they are use should be calcinated (burned) till they are light grey. Then solved into distilled water. Then filtered and then evaporated. What is left are the white salts from the plant. This should be put into the tincture and the the period of circulation will come. This can be a month or more. This process is called the weddings process. In this example on the pictures you can see my Blue Lotus spagyric tincture. There are diverse methods to do this and this is one of those. Its important before, during and after the Work that one tunes in what one is doing. This aspect, communication with the spirit  and know what is going on energetically is of utter importance to make the process Alchemical.
