All
products offered at SPAGYRIUM are produced by practicing alchemists using the
ancient "spagyric" (spa-jeer-ik) process. The term "spagyric" was coined by the
great sixteenth-century alchemist, Paracelsus (shown at left), who combined two
Greek words meaning to "separate and recombine." He used the term to describe
the way in which alchemical medicines are prepared, a once secret process that
goes all the way back to ancient Egypt.
Alchemists believe all levels of creation (the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms) all contain the divine spark of life, which is the spiritual seed of their creation -- their essence or soul. In this view, everything is alive to some degree and everything carries the archetypal "signature" of its creator. The spagyric method developed over many centuries as a way of purifying and releasing the hidden energetic presences in all created things. By first separating and purifying the vital, archetypal healing potentials of a material, alchemists then raise them to the highest forms in a process of spiritization. In the second phase, alchemists are able to recombine these concentrated essences in a more active and potent form. The results are regarded as evolved and living medicines capable of healing on all levels of body, mind, and spirit.
