Astrological Herbalism
Key Topics:
Spagyrics
An Alchemical term for extracting spiritual essence from plants using the planets as archetypes or spirits. They capture the essence of the plant and infuse the herbal extraction with it to gain the helpful compounds of the chemical and spiritual world.
In Spagyrical Alchemy you first use a solvent to seperate and concentrate the essence of the plant then cook it for several days at a specific tempature to fully concentrate the beneficial compounds.
The Seven Basics
A tradition Alchemical practice where one cultivates seven differne herbs, each one ruled by one of the seven inner planets of Astrology. Through transforming them into Spagycs you creates seven remedies for each of the inner planets. Personally I do things differently, workig with the modern understanding of our solar system.
The Inner Planets, Outer Planets, Dwarf Planets, and The Sun.
I sort the planets of our solar system into The Four Inner Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars. The Four Outer Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. The Sic Dwarf Planets: Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Haumea, Makemake. These can be used to make The Fourteen Basics.
