Apocalypse Alchemic Revelation by Jean de Clairefontaine. (Extract). Translation: Rubellus Petrinus. Revision: Louis Grenier.

The Preparation being the Father's Work, the Fabrication and the Multiplication are the Work of our LORD and it is HIM who in fact will reveal to us the operative way in all its details for the two phases of the Magistery.

The duration of the Great Work till the end of the First Multiplication is of 28 philosophical months and broken down as follows: Preparation: 2 months. Solve: 8 months. Coagulate: 16 months. Total: 26 months. The result is that the duration of the First Multiplication is of 2 philosophical months as Kamala Jnana indicates it.

The total duration of Magistery is of 24 days, not including the 2 days of the Preparation and the 2 days of the Multiplication, in total: 24 + 2 + 2 = 28 ...We already knew that the total duration of Solve is 10 days, including 2 days of the Preparation...The duration of Coagulate is equal to 24 - 8 = 16 months ...being that the time for Solve is half of Coagulate. The duration of Solve is like this equal to a third of the total duration of the Magistery.

The difference between these 27,19 g and 11 g of the parchment for Solve represents the weight of the Salt necessary to the phase of Coagulate - Albification and to the First Multiplication. These 27,19 g of Salt are divided in 14 parts distributed like this:

The solution of the problem of the proportions is primordial, because it would be useless to try to arrive to a positive conclusion if these were wrong.

We know already the three essential colours of Magistery: the Black, the White and the Red.

The seven Spirits of God correspond to the seven phases of the Magistery...suppose the Pre-Preparation and the Preparation phases are finish (the Father's Work) these seven phases are the following ones:

The Preparation. In possession of his mineral, the Son of Light possesses the three matters that are necessary to begin the Great Work, but the amount of the philosopher Salt being quite low, he must join the philosophical Salt, that possesses the same qualities and characteristics except for the colour in the proportions that are revealed by S. John in the Chap. VI. The obtaining of the philosophical Salt of only one thing in all things constitutes a great secret, against which many investigators stumbled.

Now that the Son of Light possesses the red-gold Philosopher’s Salt from the mineral and the Philosophical Salt, he accomplishes the separation of the three philosophical matters by the operation of the Preparation that should not be confused with the Separation of the elements that he will obtain in the beginning of Solve.

We will emphasise that when the Philosophers speak about the different degrees of fire, they don't mean to increase or decrease the fire, as do the vulgar chemists in their ovens. We should not forget that their fire is the secret fire, the one that we know presently and on which we have developed extensively in the Chap. IV.

The divine Spirit Fire reveals the latent fires of the Salt, the Sulphur and of the Mercury; first Fire: the Salt, second Fire: the Sulphur, third Fire: the Mercury. The combination of these three Fires creates the fourth Fire, under the action of the fifth Fire: the energetic Fire.

We will remember concerning this fifth fire of the Axiom of Rosa Cruz's True Alchemy: "the fire and the heat cannot be produced except by the movement." By an ingenious industry, the Son of Light in his operation of the Preparation separates by this way, at his level, the Light (the Salt) of the darkness (the Sulphur and the Mercury). He accomplishes the mortification, because he separates the body (the Sulphur) of the soul (the Mercury), and the spirit (the Salt), and this operation is illustrated in colour pictures of Tout La Grand Oeuvre Photographié.

The Son of Light possesses then the three elements that will allow him to constitute his Ethiopian, and we understand now why the Adepts say that the Pre-Preparation and the Preparation are the Father's work, and that the Fabrication and the Multiplication, described in S. John's revelation, are the Work of our LORD.

In the Mineral, the Philosopher’s red-gold Salt is in low amounts and this is why certain Philosophers did not consider more than two constituents (the Sulphur and the Mercury)...But this amount is enough to assure the cohesion of the Sulphur and of the Mercury...

In conclusion of this study, the proportions adopted by the Son of Light, to the accomplishment of the whole of his operations are the following ones: Mercury: 70g. Sulphur: 30g. Salt: 30g.

It is naturally necessary to underline that the proportions mentioned above are theoretical and are susceptible of modifications, according to the degree of purity of the three elements of the mix and the Wiseman should make the necessary corrections.

Now, in summary will be described the different phases of Solve, with the opening of the sixth seal. We know how our Ethiopian should be constituted; the phase of Solve can begin with the Fifth fire. A strong reaction begins in Athanor.

Here, comes to mind the Salt that the Wiseman should put with judicious and careful dosage in the Athanor and in the mass of it's Ethiopian, to begin the exothermic reaction with the Fifth Fire.

The philosophers' salt, the one from the mineral matter is glittering or red-gold, the philosophical Salt that plays a great role in the Magistery is white and under solid form, it presents the aspect of white wool that, some times, is represented by the Eternal with a long white beard.

It is the beginning of the Fabrication's phase and it is the moment for being vigilant. In the precedent phase, at the Separation, you separated the Salt, the Sulphur and the Mercury and concluded the mortification of the mineral picking up the soul and the spirit for one part (the Salt and the Mercury) and the Sulphur (the body) of another part. You constituted your Ethiopian mineral, triturating the three matters that you mixed in the suitable proportions that will be indicated to you...

At this time, in the inner centre of the Athanor, is produced a strong exothermic reaction, the Salt and the Sulphur combines under the form of rust stains in the mass that you can see because of the transparency and increasing progressively, the rust stains tending to the brown colour. It is the leopard, of which it will be spoken further on, in the second philosophical month. At this time, you should be particularly vigilant, because the rust stains colour appear at the end of a time, more or less long, and as soon as you see their manifestation, you should revive the remaining by activating the fifth fire. Or else, which you thought was alive is on the verge of death. If you activate the fifth fire with delay or inconsiderately, it will be useless to continue, because I don't find your works with merit before God, your Ethiopian lost all life because you didn't proceed fully as the Creator foresaw it and ordered it.

If you followed the advises that I have just given to you, you will continue your cooking in the Athanor and, in its womb, your eyes amazed will see fragile granules image of the creation of the Worlds (Mundification) composed of the three constituent of your Electro, amalgamated in the proportions of Nature. These granules in this ascension period didn't stain their coating; they escaped momentarily from the impurity of the compost.

During the descent, as soon as the Athanor cools down, the granule falls in the compost...The granule becomes trapped in the compost and will remain there for ten days.

The leprous and foetid magma in which the granules bath, covers them with a coating of impurities and dirt, the impure film envelope the granule that falls down in the Athanor, binds to it as if it wanted to become one with it, prostrated to its feet. The contact that is made like this with the infinitely pure granulation constitutes for it the testimony of the most obvious love than engendered the King Infant.

The operations of the beginning of Solve are very delicate, but you won't forget that you operate in the sign of Aries, of the Sheep, caressed by the sweet rays of the first sun of spring, of which certain philosophers expressed less poetically when they spoke about its horse manure.

The Son of Light, having prepared its Ethiopian and set aside the Philosophical Salt, the three constituents of the philosophers' earth being dosed in the proportions indicated in Cap. VI will throw the fire on the earth. An exothermic reaction is produced as soon as the fire is thrown on the earth, from the application of the fifth fire and the ferocious fight between the two Dragons begins...

The Wiseman that carefully observes the evolutionary phases of the reincrudation of the mixed that are translated by the succession of the colours that he knows well knows that from the beginning of the operations, when the translucent granules are in formation in the sky of the Athanor, the first colour that appears is the citrine one, but it is fugitive and the matter tends to gather and darkens to the end of the first philosophical month. During the second month, the matter has a boiling effect and it darkens, the sky is starry of yellow stains as the ones that cover the leopard skin.

If the operator increases the first fire too much, he will never obtain the colours of Solve that will end with the very black. In the opposite, he will see the mixed take a red fire colour from where he will never leave. We already developed this subject.

...This verse makes allusion to the fight of the two Dragons in the phase of Solve. Then, during the violent reaction that will launch the volatilisation of the fixed, the translucent and gelatinous granulation, images of the worlds in formation, formed in the high levels of the Athanor, carried by the wind in its womb, falls after cooling down in the mass of the compost... It will suffer a mortification of ten days. S. John gives us a precious indication about the duration of Solve: ten days or ten philosophical months.

During the operations of Solve, a black film appears on the wall and inside the vase, the leprous granules after the descent will take a bath in a red magma, that is nothing else than the Mineral reconstituted with the sulphur and the mercury surplus that were not amalgamated in nature proportions in the granules and the sludge's.

To the sound of the first trumpet, the fire of the divine Spirit provokes the appearance of the worlds in the form of translucent granules in the sky of Athanor, that due to a temperature fall take a gelatinous form and later they become solids.

As soon as the opaque clouds rise in the Athanor, when the furious combat of the two Dragons begins, the worlds in formation separate under the form of translucent globes...

The brass is fine because the fire is subtle, vaporous, purified, and ethereal and we are now in the first months of Solve. The fourth fire of the philosophical salt, combined with the fire of each one of the three constituents and excited by the fifth fire, provokes the burning furnace in the Athanor; the combat of the two Dragons reaches its culminating point. The Son of Light attends to the ascension, the descent and the flood, that will mark the victory of the volatile over the fixed.

For example, the inceration is the action by which we put the mercury little by little on the philosophical sulphur. The distillation is made when the matter contained in the egg is sublimate and ascends in the higher levels of the vase in a vapour form and, not finding any exit, is forced down to the bottom of Athanor where it cohobate with the fixed part in the bottom.

All the operations can also be designated by the name of "digestion" or "cooking". But the fire that you must use is the Philosophers spagyric fire, and not the vulgar fire but the natural fire that heats up without burning.

Follow the advises that I give you faithfully so that you can assist to the death that marks the end of Solve and that is characterised by the very black in the inside of the Athanor. And then, I will give you the crown of life, the gold diadem that crowns Saturn's Oil, the Quintessence that float on the compost....

At this time, the granulations are covered of leprous dregs and bathe in the magna of the compost and the blood of the Lamb. It ascends progressively to the surface of the compost, and it is the Philosopher's Saturn Oil. At the Albification phase, the seven baths of Nahaman's will wash them and cover them of a white mantle (first phase of Coagulate), that with the Rubification (second phase of Coagulate) will become a red mantle, red of the Lamb’s blood, which the Apostle received in the Holy Grail.

The Saturn's Oil, on the other hand, can mortify the mercury...One drop of the quintessence will allow the coagulation of the vulgar mercury, because by removing its vitality, it is to eliminate its mobility and it is this the reason for which the transmutation at cold temperature is possible, just as we saw in Cap. XX. Of one effect, the oil dyes and of another it coagulates.

Purposely, the different phases of Solve are not developed here in their chronological order. For not showing ourselves to envious, we will reveal that the stars of the sky that fall to earth are those that appear on the walls of the vase and that the Son of Light can contemplate with admiration during the third philosophical month, as soon as the matter begins to darken. It is this the admirable spectacle that the Philosophers call the star rain and that is reproduced in the picture nº.13 of Tout Le Grand Oeuvre Photographié of Kamala Jnana...Effectively the stars appear on the walls of Athanor, over the mass of the compost as if they fall down from the sky...The green illustrations that gathers to the surface of the compost evoke the end of Solve at the end of the Eight philosophical month when the vase is open and the head of the crow is cut off, the matter becomes green making like the frogs spawn.

The picture nº. 20 of Tout Le Grand Oeuvre Photographié gives us the image of the compost, as soon as the Wiseman cuts the head of the crow (6th philosophical month). The granules are buried then in a pestilential and piled up magma, giving to the whole the aspect of caves and mountains...This compost is constituted by the surplus of sulphur and of mercury not amalgamated, with the dregs of the body not vivified by the spirit and it is in this magma that the granules are prisoners...In reality, before cutting the head of the crow, the compost present itself in a liquid form of blackness of the very black of which emerge the granules covered of its leprous dregs giving the image of mountains and of islands.

When the Wiseman has cut the head of the crow, the Hermes Seal is picked up...In this operation in fact part of the superfluous is dragged, so that nothing remains in the Athanor except the rest of the superfluous and the leprous granulation. The 20th picture illustrates well this aspect of the rest of the compost retaining the granules of which the islands disappeared...It is from this moment that the Vase will stay open, except during the imbibitions that will follow.

We know that it is made allusion to the Saturn's Oil that begins to appear in the fifth philosophical month and S. John gives us a warning here, only to confirm to us that the proportions in volume that was revealed to us are the ones that should be respected, at the constitution of the Ethiopian, if we want to see the Hermes' Seal.

At the emergence of the frogs' spawns (8th philosophical month), the phase of Solve reaches its end and many marvels were offered to the eyes of the Son of Light. During the cohobation, the volatile part ascends to the highs of the vase (the Sky of the Philosophers) and falling back, it mixes and cohobates with the fixed part that is in the bottom. The phase of Solve characterises itself by the volatilisation of the fixed. The mother engendered her son (the Philosophical Sulphur) and kills it by drowning it in the darkness of the sepulchre that prevails in its womb (the vase). The worlds in formation lie in the foetid mass of the compost, under the form of granulation taking a gross spherical form, amalgamated in nature proportion. They take consistency from the mass of the compost and appear on the surface under the form of islands and mountains...

When the Artist has cut the head of the crow, at the end of the sixth month, the Vase remains open. At the beginning of the seventh month, the phase of Jupiter appears and precedes the vegetative phase of the frogs' spawns (end of the phase Solve, eighth month).

Let us remember that as soon as the head of the crow is cut off, the vase is opened and the fermentation is produced in a wet environment.

Having taken the book off the Angel's hand, S. John devours it. In his mouth (the upper part of the Hermes' Seal) it is sweet as honey, but after it was ingested, it caused suffering in the womb; the tingeing Mercury is a violent poison. It constitutes a Theriak, and all the authors agree when they say that it should not be absorbed except in homeopathic doses.

The phase of Solve reaches its end. As soon as the head of the crow is cut, the Vase is opened, we are in a wet environment and a fermentation begins and manifest itself by the ash-grey colour of the Jupiter's phase which is very short, and that precedes the green colour of the frog' spawns (the phase of the Vegetation, eighth philosophical month), that marks the end of Solve...In other terms, this ash-grey colour appears naturally during the fermentation, without the application of another fire other than its own and without applying the external fire, that is, the fifth fire. This colour appears under the aspect of a grey-ash sand, that justifies this phase of the end of the chapter: It fix itself on the sand of the sea...The Dragon has finished its mission, since he doesn't intervene anymore, it stops as soon as the phase of Jupiter has begun; the phase Solve-Fabrication is practically over.

…When the third seal is opened suddenly appears a black horse, this colour being that of the compost at the end of Solve and being marked by the volatilisation of the fixed. The horseman had a scale that will give us the proportions to respect for the constitution of the Ethiopian...

After the darkness of Solve, the Son of Light attends to the resurrection of the Infant King who becomes the prince of the earth Kings...As soon as the mass of the compost, the earth dry out and splits producing caves at the end of the fifth philosophical month.

Some reflection will allow the Wiseman to understand the reason of the great variety of colours that appear between the black and the white. We will remind him that with the first bathing that is necessary to administer with prudence and moderation...The saline fire acts on the coating that covers the granulation that is red in its mass. He will understand like this the reason of the appearance of the different colours before the white of the linen dress. Since the leprosy cannot disappear totally after the seventh bathing, he will deduce that the First Stone still have the dregs that renders the Stone inappropriate to all transmutation, from where the need of purifying it by the Multiplications, as it will be described ahead.

It is here that the advice was given to the Sons of the Art, where one of the main quality is patience, and not hurry to obtain Diana's Dove: this phase won't intervene until the mundification is completely finished and that all the phases of Solve are finished.

This manna is hidden to the profane; it is reserved for the chosen of the Father and the definition referring above to the manna that the grain gives us, the white granulation of soft scent, has the sweet taste of honey that the Son of Light can contemplate at the end of Albification. The white stone that will be given to him is really the white sulphur, Diana's Dove, the very pure Moon, the day Light, the Star of the morning that marks the end of the first phase of "Coagulate" and shows him that he is reaching the end of his works.

In corollary to what precedes, the investigator will understands why and in which conditions the vulgar fire whose employment was strictly prohibited until then, can be used in this phase of Albification.

We saw that the operations of Albification last from the ninth to the fifteenth philosophical month, that is to say 7 months. For Rubification, the duration to obtain the citrine colour is from the sixteenth to the seventeenth month, that is to say 2 months. To obtain the colour of saffron, the duration is from the eighteenth to the twenty-first month, that is to say 4 months. To obtain the red colour, the duration is from the twenty-second to the twenty-fourth month, that is to say, 3 months. Theoretically, the total duration of Coagulate is of 16 months of which 7 are for the Albification and 9 for the Rubification.

The time is close: this short phase evokes the next matter of the work, the stone near the state of Venus in Coagulate, like this called by the philosophers because the time is close for the coronation of their work. After the reign of Venus, only remains the travels through the reign of Mars, prelude to the one of the Sun, this is, of the Stone definitively fixed.

The granulation received in first place the virginal milk that allows it to corporify, then a carnivorous feeding by the tingeing mercury that calmed its hunger and its thirst and as soon as it received the definitive structure of the red Stone, it is fireproof...The stone is definitively fixed, it is no more hungry nor thirsty, it has arrived to a perfect state of dryness.

The vapours of perfume rise before God. These perfumes remind us the soft scent of the white Stone, when the granule is covered of its white coating that was then given to it...The Wiseman must answer this question: Why does the white Stone has such a soft scent? The answer is very simple: in the white Stone the sulphur is extinct and amalgamated to the mercury in natural proportions in the granulation; on the other hand, the vase is opened and the granulation is very dry. Finally, even if the internal sulphur conserved its bad scent, this last one could not exhale, the stone being covered of its white mantle, of its saline envelope turning it totally impermeable. On this subject, another question can be raised: Why is it that the red stone has a foetid odour? The answer is equally very simple: from the very beginning of Solve, we know now that the three components of the mixed are sublimated in the sky of the vase at the time of the mundification, with the wind and the vapours, and within these vapours there is the one of the sulphur in the form of sulphurous gas exhaling and characterised by its putrefaction scent. We should remember that all odours are an indication of humidity, which happens in Solve, and as soon as this humidity disappears, the scents disappear ipso facto. The same for the red stone, as explains to us by Kamala Jnana, in his Dictionary at the word "odour"; from the first imbibition with the tingeing mercury, that gives the yellow colour, to the last one that turns its colour to burned blood-like, the stone still smells sepulchre-like, because the imbibitions are made with the quintessence characterised by its bad scent. This odour persists until the stone is dry that is to say until it is fixed. On the other hand, it doesn't have any scent when the fixation is complete, that is to say, when the dryness is total, as it is explained to us in Pleiade Alchimique that contains seven unpublished documents of the Masters of Ajunta.

In this text, we will focus on the phase of Coagulate, but we know that with the Cibation, it feeds on the virginal milk from where it was formed. The infant, or Philosophical Sulphur, drinking this virginal milk that is volatile, fixes it in himself, it seals its mother in its womb, by the fixation of the volatile that is characterises by Coagulate.

In the phase Coagulate-Fabrication, the Albification recovers these dregs of a white linen mantle, that by the corrosive action of the philosophical salt purifies the granulation, giving it a new life, but the leprosy has not yet totally disappeared.

We are in the phase of Coagulate and the Albification is finished, the granulation represents the worlds in miniatures, being covered with its white linen coating.

...We invoked the perpetual phosphorescence light of the Hermes' Swan arrived to the total perfection, and that, kneeling down, we where allowed to contemplate. This wonderful phosphorescence light is of the Philosopher Stone arrived at the white colour and to an extreme degree of purity...

This won't be the end, because if the Son of Light arrived to the Red Stone and to the end of the Fabrication, he still will have of accomplishing the Three Multiplications.

We started from the red-gold mineral, with the philosophers' red-gold salt and arrived to the Red Stone; this analogy explains why the seventh phase is confused symbolically with the first, being only limited to the aspect; the operation came to a full circle or close circuit and the same operations continues in each one of the Multiplications following the same cycle just as Ourobouros.

We saw that the seventh phase is similar to the first: the philosophers' Salt in the mineral is red-gold as in the perfect Red Stone, ending of the Magistery, the beginning has the same appearance as the end.

We explained that we where in the phase of Rubification, by the imbibitions of the tingeing mercury on the white Stone, and that mark the end of the phase Coagulate-Fabrication. By this repetition, we have the confirmation that this same operation must be made at the end of the First Multiplication, and the Red Stone, the red tunic of Our Saviour, will allow the Son of Light his first transmutations.

But we will add to this subject that the Adepts, worthy of this name, are in agreement by saying that three Multiplications are enough to give to the white Stone or the red one, the power of transmutation, and that it is then in the proportion of one part of projection powder for a thousand parts of imperfect metal, which is what the good Flamel teaches us...

The stone, result of Coagulate of the Fabrication, is associated to the image of the millstone, to teach us that before the beginning of the second Solve, the stone is grinned, as the Mineral is grinned in the beginning of the Preparation, operation having for object the separation of the three constituents of the mix, under action of the five fires.

As in the Multiplication, the amount of Sulphur is limited to what is included in the Stone, the Wiseman doesn’t have anymore, for its second Solve, the source of heat manifested in the first Solve by the exceeding Sulphur, and therefore, will not have a second exothermic reaction.

The Multiplication puts in work the same three constituent elements of the Stone that guided the Wiseman to the conquest of the golden seed. We found useless to remind that the devouring heat is always activated by the fifth fire.

So, in the First Multiplication, we find again the philosophical Mercury, the fifth principal of the mixed ones composed of what is the purest in the four elements and lets not forget that the false prophet has enclose the sludge that justifies the new phase of Solve. The parallelism between the Fabrication and the First Multiplication is confirmed like this in an unquestionable way.

The residue of the dregs and of the sludge's rises in the sky of the Athanor under the action of the fifth fire, before reassembling in the bottom of the vase where it will constitute a new compost, is notably reduced in relation to the one of the first Solve.

The phase of Solve is very short because the total duration of the First Multiplication including Coagulate is of 2 philosophical months.

The problem is limited like this to the purification of the Stone, to the elimination of the sludge's that stain it and this will be obtained by an addition of Salt to the Stone that was grinned previously. The second Solve will be like this accomplished by this additional Salt, following the same process as in the Fabrication, conjugated naturally with the fifth fire...We found that the weight of the additional Salt for the First Multiplication was 3,884g, that is to say 4g for 100g of matters that represent the last two parts of the original Salt. As we said in Cap.VI, this weight is theoretical, because the amount of Salt to join to the stone depends in particular on the quality of the Salt, the temperature of the room where the work is made and here also intervenes the Art of Alchemy that allows the Chosen to conclude the Great Work.

The cooking, the wheel fire is renewed following the same cycles as in the Fabrication and in each of the Multiplications.

As soon as the Red Stone, resulting of the First Multiplication is grinned, it is submitted again to a new action of the fire of chaos, together activated by the fifth fire...

The operations of Second Solve are made in the same order as in the Solve of the Fabrication, with the difference that the compost is practically non-existent, since it is constituted by the rest of the sludge's that still stain the Stone.

The Dragon is thrown in the Abyss; the resulting Stone of the First Multiplication is introduced in the Aludel. We are still in the phase of Solve in the Second Multiplication, and this phase last 1 Philosophical month, including the corresponding Coagulate as we seeing...when the Second Multiplication is finished, it will be necessary to proceed to the Third Multiplication with a new Solve that will last very little time.

But we owed on this subject to explain the reason for which certain philosophers and Flamel in particular affirm that the Stone gains in amount and quality with the Multiplications. In regards to the quality and virtues, no doubt can subsist in our mind, because the Multiplications have purified the philosophical sulphur, and fasten it in the pure state that allows the transmutations. But Flamel also told us that it increases in quantity. This point can seem fallacious. Effectively if we obtain 100g of the Stone at the end of Coagulate-Fabrication, it is not conceivable that this weight is transformed for example in 110g at the end of the Third Multiplication. But we should consider our Stone, not only under the aspect of the solid philosophical Sulphur, but also under its liquid aspect. The philosophical Sulphur should decrease in the weight corresponding to the sludge's that was eliminated. On the other hand, it is natural that the Saturn's Oil of the Third Multiplication is more abundant then at the end of the Fabrication due to the addition of the chaos, of which we have determined the amount...at the First Multiplication, operation repeated by the Second and the Third Multiplication, from there the increase in the amount of Quintessence. So, the words: Medicine, Quintessence and Stone are understood for the two state, solid and liquid, and it is like this that the Stone increases in quantity in its whole. We stated that the Hermes' Seal is, as the Stone, a transmutation agent, as explains Cyliani, when he tells the story of the transmutation done at cold temperature, flowing one part of Oil on one hundred parts of mercury that coagulated in the most beautiful gold...

We know that at the end of the Third Multiplication, the Stone still contains a very small amount of sludge's that can be eliminated in the posterior Multiplications if the Wise desire to, although the Third multiplication already allowed him to do transmutations in the proportions of 1 to 1000.

This chapter brought us to the end of the Third Multiplication that allowed the Son of Light to obtain the Projection Powder with which he can transmute a vile metal in live gold.

You will have lost all hope of seeing the phosphorescent glow emitted by the Hermes' Bird, as soon as it has reach the limit of perfection. It is this perpetual glow of light that kneeling, we where gratified with the contemplation of in the temple where our Great Master gave us the illumination, brilliant lamp of the fire spirit of the Supreme Creator of the Universe and surrounding its tablets of the Law by a divine halo.

When you have understood the whole theory, that all the operative phases are to you known perfectly well and as you have approached the beginning of your works, don't try to burn any steps, nor you think that with the whole of the knowledge that you have acquired the success will crown your work obligatorily in spite of its simplicity. In reality, Alchemy is an Art that demands many cares of attention, of dexterity and of patience.
