In this second part of the series, we will introduce the “Mercury Principle” of the Plant Kingdom, a key concept in Spagyrics. You’ll focus on the art of fermentation, extracting the Spirit of the plant through alchemical transformation. Explore the mysteries within the Spirit and engage in extraction and purification processes.

What You’ll Experience:

• The process of fermenting the plant’s Spirit
• Working with the purification and transformation of this Spirit
• Crafting Spagyric Tinctures

What You’ll Learn:

• How to ferment and extract the Spirit of the plant
• The properties and characteristics of Spagyric Tinctures
• Production of Medicinal Elixirs, Honey Infusions, Medicinal Vinegars, and Acetic Tinctures

In this workshop, you’ll discover that “Salt” represents the densest and most solid aspect of a plant. Salts are derived from the minerals and nutrients absorbed by the roots through osmosis or captured by the leaves during photosynthesis.

The Spagyrics approach involves obtaining salt through Calcination, a process that eliminates all “impurities.” Further purification ensures the Salt is prepared to be reintegrated—a final and essential step in crafting remedies according to this ancient wisdom.

Throughout the course, we will work with the plant’s most distant memory. Philosophical Salt embodies the pure information of the Archetype.

What You’ll Experience:

• Extracting salts through the calcination process to remove all impurities.
• Applying leaching and coagulation to purify the Salt, preparing it for reintegration with Mercury and Sulfur.

What You’ll Learn:

• The role of Salt in Spagyrics and its connection to the plant’s most solid aspect.
• How to purify Salt through ancient alchemical processes.
• The importance of reintegrating purified Salt with the other Spagyric principles.

In ancient Egyptian times, before the rise of Chemistry and Astronomy, Alchemy and Astrology were key disciplines. To understand alchemy, one must explore astrology, as both strive to purify and align the body and soul. This alignment allows the spirit to manifest purely through the body, its physical vessel.

Join our introductory workshop on Ancient Astrology, rooted in the philosophical and astronomical principles of the Greeks and Egyptians. We’ll explore core concepts like astrology, elements, planets, and signs to understand the intimate connection between heaven and earth.

The workshop aims to deepen our understanding of the world’s inner and outer workings, helping us make informed decisions for self-growth and harmony in our lives.

Keep in mind, the ideas presented are as complex as they are beautiful and profound. Ancient alchemists spent lifetimes unlocking the wisdom behind astrology and alchemy’s symbolism, myth, and philosophy. Approach with an open mind and immerse yourself in the rich stories passed down through centuries.

What You’ll Experience:

•  Engaging in storytelling that weaves together ancient myths and the wisdom of our ancestors.
• Learning about the alignment of inner energies with planetary influences and the principle of “as above, so below.”
• Exploring the use of elements and planets in ancient teachings to deepen your connection with the cosmos.

What You’ll Learn:

• The intimate relationship between astrology, alchemy, and self-alignment.
• The symbolism and philosophical insights passed down by the ancients.
• How to read your birth chart and use it as a tool to guide your spiritual and personal evolution.

The Spagyric Phytotherapy journey unfolds in three parts: Archetypes, Melothesia, and Plants. We begin by exploring fundamental archetypal concepts, examining how the ancients connected with the macro and microcosm. The seven primordial forces, expressed in the skies and earthly realms, will be illustrated through myths and forms, allowing us to recognize reflections of divine light in humanity and nature.

In the second part, we investigate various energetic medicine systems, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Egyptian Medicine, integrating spagyric remedies. By emphasizing melothesia, we explore how signs and planets manifest in individuals, aiding in understanding energy imbalances and guiding phytotherapy selections.

The final segment focuses on representative plants of each archetype. We’ll delve into their myths, common indications, and application methods, encompassing both physical and psychic dimensions.

The Clay Tablet System is an energy rebalancing technique recovered from important medical papyri of Ancient Egypt by Dr. Angelo Angelini (Italy) and his students.

In this method, small clay pieces with geometric shapes are gently heated and placed on specific points of the body’s energy channels (referred to by the Egyptians as Mo-t). Drops of spagyric quintessences are added to the clay. This way, besides manipulating energy in the vessels, it’s also possible to convey archetypal information and medicinal properties.

The course will be taught by Mauricio Carneiro, an acupuncturist and student of Professor Stefano Stefani, a disseminator of Dr. Angelo Angelini’s work and Spagyric Medicine in Brazil. He also works towards spreading knowledge of Ancient Astrology, Philosophy, and Mythology through the Orion Astrology School.
