Spagyrics is a branch of the western alchemical tradition that focuses on the preparation of spiritualized herbal extracts which have profound physical, psychological, spiritual cleansing and rejuvenative power. In this class you will learn the core philosophy of alchemy and how it applies to your practice of herbalism, specifically in regards to herbal pharmacy and how to craft transformational medicines. You will learn the 3 principles of alchemy, how they manifest within plants, and how you can extract, purify and recombine them to create a radically different form of herbal medicines. Different types of spagyrics will be sampled throughout the class so you can note the distinct difference between them and standard herbal preparations.
