HERBS / ALCHEMY "Simply put, this is a classic text on plant
alchemy, or spagyrics, for the modern practitioner. . . . Anyone
serious about learning alchemy needs to have a copy." --Mark
Stavish, director of the Institute of Hermetic Studies and author
of The Path of AlchemyThe practice of spagyrics is the application
of ancient alchemical working methods in the preparation of
tinctures, essences, and other products from medicinal plants.
While ordinary tinctures and infusions use only a part of the great
curative potential of plants, spagyric methods "open" medicinal
plants completely to reveal their more powerful healing properties.
Drawing on the rich imagery and symbolism of ancient source
materials, Manfred M. Junius describes these methods in great
detail, showing readers how to prepare plant remedies alchemically
for their own use as well as imparting a knowledge of the
ideological world in which alchemistic and hermetic thought
flowered. Spagyrics includes the Plant Magistery of Paracelsus and
the Life Elixir recipe of Andreas Libavius among its historic
techniques as well as a wealth of scientific information that
demonstrates the greater efficacy of alchemical methods of plant
essence extraction. This classic source text preserves the nearly
forgotten but highly valuable methods of this true hermetic art for
preparing natural remedies.MANFRED M. JUNIUS (1929-2004) was a
professor of biology at the University of Calcutta and later served
as the production manager for spagyrics for Australerba
Laboratories in Australia. He was also head of the Australian
School of Ayurveda in Adelaide, Australia. His Western alchemical
knowledge was obtained through many years of personalinstruction
from Augusto Pincaldi in Switzerland.
