Spagyery

or spagyric medicine, is a branch of alchemical tradition that focuses on the preparation of remedies and substances using alchemical processes. The word “spagyric” comes from the Greek terms “spao” (to draw out) and “ageiro” (to gather), reflecting the method’s core principles of separation, purification, and recombination. Here’s an overview of its definition, aspects, and mechanics:

Definition: 

Spagyery involves the extraction of quintessences from plants and minerals through alchemical distillation and fermentation techniques. This practice aims to harness the spiritual and healing properties of substances by separating and recombining their essential components.

Aspects

Philosophical and Spiritual: Spagyery is deeply rooted in Hermetic philosophy, which posits that everything in the universe is interconnected and that true knowledge comes through the synthesis of spiritual and material insights.

Healing: It is considered a form of holistic medicine, intended not just to treat physical ailments but to align the body, spirit, and soul, fostering overall well-being.

Transformation: A key aspect is the transformation of raw materials into purified substances, which is seen as a parallel to personal and spiritual refinement.

Mechanics

Separation: The first step in spagyric processing involves separating the plant or mineral into its three basic principles—salt (body), sulfur (soul), and mercury (spirit). This is typically achieved through processes like fermentation, distillation, and extraction.

Purification: Each component is then purified to rid it of impurities and enhance its inherent qualities. This step is crucial for concentrating the therapeutic aspects of the substance.

Recombination: Finally, the purified components are recombined in a specific way to produce a spagyric essence. This essence is believed to be more potent than the sum of its parts due to the energetic and spiritual enhancements gained through the alchemical process.

Alchemical Explanation of body, soul, and spirit

Body (Salt): In alchemy, the body represents the physical form of a substance. It is associated with the element of salt, which symbolizes solidity, stability, and permanence. The body contains the material or tangible essence of a substance, which can be manipulated or transformed through alchemical processes.

Soul (Sulfur): The soul is associated with sulfur and represents the life force or the individual essence that animates the body. It is often considered the seat of emotions and individual personality in alchemical terms. Sulfur in alchemy symbolizes combustibility and volatility, qualities that are metaphorically linked to the dynamic and ephemeral aspects of the soul.

Spirit (Mercury): Spirit, linked to mercury (also known as quicksilver), represents the mind and the divine spark within. It is the mediator between the soul and the body, acting as a bridge that connects the high (spiritual) and low (material) realms. Mercury in alchemy is characterized by fluidity and changeability, embodying the transformative and transmutative power inherent in all substances.
