Thanks Justin! I made the changes. I had reduced the size once already but you make a valid point as the photos were still quite large. The next set of photos should be easier to follow.

"Take unslaked lime and linseed oil. Mix them well together and make thereof a lute which will be so hard that no spirit will pierce it, and this serves for the closure of glasses."

Do you or anybody else know where to get unslaked lime? I've got linseed oil. I'm trying a mix of plaster of paris and linseed oil to see if that hardens. So far it's not, but it hasn't been drying very long either. I have lime for lawns it's granular, but is unslaked lime just lime that has been exposed to high heat? Can I just make it myself?

Hi guys. I have some pics of the "Primum Ens Melissa" I've been working on while I'm waiting for the dew. I started on 6-5-09. I put potassium carbonate in a Pyrex baking pan outside. " border="0" alt="" />This liquefied to become the oil of tartar over a period of six days. I ground up 2 oz of dried Melissa and measured an equal amount of oil of tartar. The melissa has a nice smell to it. " border="0" alt="" /> On 6-11-09 I mixed and shook-up daily for 14 days." border="0" alt="" />" border="0" alt="" />" border="0" alt="" /> After 14 days it smells...different

I filtered the herb solids out using a nylon sock (new) then mixed an equal amount of 95 o/o Alcohol " border="0" alt="" />" border="0" alt="" />" border="0" alt="" /> " border="0" alt="" /> " border="0" alt="" /> " border="0" alt="" /> The pic above is after 1 week of digestion. Book "Real Alchemy" by Robert Allen Barlett says to digest for 2 weeks or longer. The whole process is in chapter 6. More pics in a week or so.

Unslacked lime is Calcium oxide

Kevin,

that's what I call a putrefaction. In that French video that Dejan posted they show two alchemists that pull sheets over grass and then real black dew in a glass container.

Unslaked lime you get from a building material a garden or a painter's market in 10-35 kg bags.

Awhile back:

I saw that you had questions about the "Primum Ens Melissa". I hope you find these photos to be helpful. I tried to keep them in order of the operation. There are still two more steps left... I'll take photos of them as well.

kevinpaw123,

Thank You so much for the pics. For me as well as others, I'm sure the visuals are a great help!

Blessings,

Hyram

Way to go ! kevinpaw123 your following the directions exctly, From putting plastic bags under the lids to gettin Organic 190 proof grape alcohol..Regular Linseed oil is notoriously slow to dry. they have a type that drys more quickly ..I think it was boiled ? you might google "Quickdrying linseed oil" Thanks for the pics.. And the Calcium Oxide tip from someone else Auggie

Hello again.. I did a quick google on linseed oil. In Olden days it was actually boiled now its chemically boiled but with the same result "Quick drying" ...boiled drys quickly & completely Raw is difficult to work with..An un-related Question : I was told not to breathe or sniff the 190 proof Alcohol as you will pass out immediately . a friend told me that as a joke they would do that to their buddy's Auggie

auggie:
Re: The linseed oil for the lute is boiled. Re: Primum Ens Melissa. The alcohol is very strong. I did smell it and I didn't pass out. I bought from the same co. you did and they never asked me for a permit #. I must have slipped through the cracks. It cost about $240.00 w/shpg

sniffing is not good for your lungs, yes. but you can even drink this stuff. in poland they drink it. just just need to breathe out ofter drinking.

Here are some more Photos of the Ens Primum Melissa. Something inside me very strongly said that the info in "Real Alchemy" wasn't quite complete and said to keep adding more Alcohol after drawing the 1st extraction and I got more of the green stuff. I did this a couple more times and the solution started to lighten quite abit. As it turns out I read in another book it says to do just that (continue to add Alcohol).
