-The Emerald Formula-
THE FOLLOWING WILL B MY PERSONAL NOTES ON THE EMERALD FORMULA,
PRITTY MUCH WHAT U CAN FIND OUT ON YOUR OWN. But I'm nice enough to put
them here.

CALCINATION: Element: Fire Metal: Lead Planet: Saturn Astrological symbol: Aries
· Calcination means to burn or to calcify, “reduce to bone".
· Characteristics: aggresive, etching, burning, Transformative, reductive,
purifying and energetic... Mentally it works with the UNTRANSMUTED parts of our
personalities
· Mostly reshaping the mind to look through the EGO... Crushing the ego is done
when we are put in a situation where we have no control. EXPL:"trial by fire"
· The SECRET FIRE of the alchemist is CONCENTRATED CONSIOUSNESS.
· CONSENTRATION EXPT: try to focus on one thought for as long as u can. You’ll
know you are getting better the longer u can hold a single thought.
· Bodily CALCINATION can be experienced through Aerobic exercises IE running,
biking, or even rapid breathing CARDIO!!!

DISSOLUTION: element: Water Metal: Tin Planet: Jupiter Astor symbol: Pisces
v Dissolution means to: dissolve, you would dissolve the ashes that remained from
the process of Clacination.
v Characteristics of Dissolution: Ever Changing
v Overall Dissolution works against the EGO using emotions. CRYING was thought to
release Crystallized emotions and allowed us to heal emotionally.
v Un-dissolved people are: judgmental, greed, and excessive, THEIR relations can be
described as selfish.
v Experiments and terms: CIBATION-the process of adding fluid to dried out material
(ties into crying) Bain Marie-a double-boiler used in the lab.
v BAIN-MARIE: also a type of deep breathing mediation used in alchemy. Taking in
deep breaths and holding them in to "work out" tension in the body.
v In this process DREAM play a big roll, begin a dream journal.

SEPERATION: Element: Air Metal: Iron Planet: Mars Astro Symbol: Scorpio
o Separation deals with removing further impurities and empowering the true
Essences. Mentally we are removing all our "Bad Habits".
o People whohaven’t undergone Separation are over assertive and Controlling,
refusing to Compromise
o People UNDERGOING Separation are courageous and daring, often initiating
major changes in the (or their) world and in the lives of the people around them.
o Separation helps REMOVE false relations and works to lift you from your egotistic
personality and recognize you UNBORN SELF. o Meditation experiment: "Sifting
Identity"- Repeat your name and try to find its meaning to you. Enter a mental loop
and "Observe you observing yourself"
o Breathing exercise: Take full llooonnnggg deeeeep breaths. Fill your lungs down
to the very bottom and slowly exhale to the tip top of your lungs. o Key Note: Try
living on the EDGE when going through this operation.

CONJUNCTION: Element: Earth Metal: Copper Planet: Venus Astro Symbol: Taurus
§ Conjunction recombines the saved elements from the previous process into
something NEW.
§ Personal Conjunction is the final stage in applied PSYCHOLOGY, the creation of
integrated or whole personality. People before Conjunction are lustful and always
wanton in seeking their "other half", they are jealous and possessive once they have
something
§ People after Conjunction are appreciative of the alchemical forces at work in their
relationships and careers, and tend to be kinder and more sensitive. § In this
process we must find a balance between the excitement and passion of the HUNGRY
FIRE of our soul and the Calm and careful satisfied WATER in our hearts.
§ In doing this we can Create the "OVERSELF". The OVERSELF is a thought process
where we learn to keep a COOL CALM COLLECTED mind under ANY and ALL
Situations. This is the goal of this process for an ALCHEMIST.
§ CREATING THE OVERSELF: you simply have to maintain your PRESENCE, NO
MATTER what happens, no matter how confusing things get, what element is
expressing itself in you, or thoughts pop up in your mind, and no matter how CRUEL
others are towards you. Every situation that comes at you good or bad is a chance to
develop presence of mind and create the OVERSELF.
§ Signs of Conjunction taking place are your growth in confidence, epuanimity, and
calmness.

!!!WARNING THE NEXT STEP IS POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS IF THE ALCHEMIST

IS UN PREPARED!!!

FERMENTATION: Element: Sulfur Metal: Mercury Planet: Mercury Astro

Symbol: Leo/Capricorn
· Fermentation is the process of letting something rot and be REBORN through
PUTREFCATION.
· Psychologically, Putrefaction is the dark night of the SOUL in which our EGO,
everthing we thought was our IDENTITY, suffers a final and complete DEATH. !!IN
THIS DEATH AN ALCHEMIST'S MOOD TURNS BLACK, AND THERE IS A LACK OF
INTEREST TO LIVE!! Depression and anxiety may overcome you.
· An Alchemist will recognize that Putrefaction was a NESCESSARY, if painful,
step to enlightenment in which we realize the illusion and futility of a merely
physical death. Like the white light of the other side we finally leave the darkness
and our consciousness is restored on a HIGHER level.
· This LIGHT comes from the SECRET FIRE sparked by a higher imagination and
consciousness we all carry in us, allow this FIRE to reforge the SOUL. It will bring
light to the entire world you now understand in depth.
· Mediation for this process: "THE SECRET FIRE OF IMAGINATION"-Sit and relax,
close your eyes and concentrate on the first image you see (don’t be concerned if it
was something you had just seen or if there is nothing at all) allow this image or
blackness to grow and change, simply observe it... ask a question and watch how it
changes. Once you open your eyes again and report back to YOURSELF what you saw
in as much detail as possible. This experiment allows your unconscious mind to
surface.

DISTILLATION: Element: Mercury Metal: Silver Planet: Moon Astro Symbol: Virgo
Ø Distillation is boiling and condensing the Fermented solution. This causes the
solution to rise and fall, evaporating and condensing repeatedly, and gradually
increasing its concentration and purity.
Ø Distillation is the separation and recombining the subtle and gross aspects of the
persona, this is done to ensure there are NO impurities going into the final process.

COAGULATION: Element: Salt Metal: Gold Planet: Sun Astro symbol: Gemini
Ø Coagulation is the congealing of a solution or substances into a semi-solid,
homogenous jell or balsam this is midway between a solid and a liquid state or
readily changes between the two.
Ø On a personal level, Coagulation is a very flowing sensual state that has a mystical
and highly creative connection to nature. The mind is fully expressed below yet
firmly rooted above.
Ø Coagulation id the creation of the second Body, a body coagulated of light that the
great alchemist Paracelsus called the Astral Body.
Ø People who have gone through the step of Coagulation are seen to have Devine
presence, people may worship you but remember ALL are able to walk the path;
DONOT feed into the attention you will receive for it will bring back your EGO.
Ø Mediation: Sophic Vessel- Take a comfortable position in a quiet place, where you
will not be disturbed. Best time for this is after a nap for in the morning. Close your
eyes and breathe in deep and slow. Progressively relax your muscles, starting at the
top of your toes and moving upward until you reach the back of your neck. Observe
your thoughts, emotions, and bodily tension.
Ø Next remove all emotions and thoughts, creating a VOID. You should begin to feel
your body vibrate and feel the ONE ONLY THING all around you. Begin to PULL its
energy into you. Bring it in through the top of your head and all the way down to
your base. Fell it make your body vibrate further. Begin to circulate the energy in and
out of your body. Bring it ABOVE AND BELOW.
Ø During Coagulation, you must learn to control of this vibrational state and start to
CRYSTALLIZE this subtle energy into a STONE-your truly independent Body.
Ø NOTE: If you push yourself through this process without going through the
previous process you may be kicked back to the beginning by the ONE ONLY THING.
Trust me.

Once you have completed all the Seven Operations of the emerald formula there is an
EIGHTH step. AZOTH is a return to the beginning as a Being of LIGHT. This will
create a more refined stone in your soul. o Lunar Stone- Gain Control of the body.
This is created your first time going through the Emerald formula o Solar Stone-
Gain Control of the mind. o Stellar Stone- At this point you are free of GENETIC,
ENVIROMENTAL, and ASTROLOGICAL RESTRAINTS. Created our third time going
through the Emerald Formula.
