TSA (Spagyric-Alchemical Tincture of Solanimus)

When comparing a Spagyric Tincture with a Spagyric-Alchemical Tincture of Solanimus, at first it seems to follow the same path: the first gestures, the first phases of the process are mirrored, like two currents that flow parallel. But soon the paths separate, and what appeared similar reveals its diversity.

Spagyric Tincture follows the traditional path, faithful to the separation and recomposition of the elements. Solanimus‘ Spagyric-Alchemical Tincture, on the other hand, opens a further gap, introduces a broader scope, a principle that is not only technical but cosmic. It is here that the profound differences emerge: it is not just a question of variations in method, but of a different philosophy of transformation, of a different way of understanding the relationship between matter and spirit.

Thus, the comparison is not a simple comparison, but a revelation: two practices that start from the same womb, but that mature into different fruits, each bearer of its own seal and its own fullness.

THE PLANT AS A LIVING MATRIX

Each tincture is born from a plant, fresh or dried, but it is in the freshness that it reveals its fullness: the still pulsating sap, the vitality intact, the richness of the active ingredients that vibrate like a secret song of nature. The fresh plant is therefore the privileged form, because it carries with it the immediate memory of the sun, the water, the earth that generated it.

Yet, even when it comes to us dried — as happens with Ginseng or Cinnamon — its strength does not go out. It remains guarded, compressed in the fibers, ready to free itself and transmit its virtue, like embers that continue to radiate heat under the ashes.

The harvest takes place in the balsamic period, the sacred moment in which the plant is at the height of its power. It is the moment when nature itself seems to stop to give us a perfect gift: a fragment of cosmic energy condensed into plant form, a living seal that encloses the dance of the elements and the breath of the stars.

LA MACERATION: IMMERSION AND SATURATION

The plant is immersed in a hydroalcoholic solution, composed of water and spagyric alcohol: an alcohol that the spagyrist has raised to the alcohol content of 100 degrees by volume, purifying it from tartar deposits and making it clear as crystal.

In ancient times, rainwater was considered alive: it fell from the sky pure, charged with subtle energy, and could be collected as a direct gift from nature. Today, however, this is no longer possible. Atmospheric pollution contaminates the rain, making it dirty, acidic, unsuitable for the maceration process. What was once a source of life and regeneration can no longer be used.

For this reason, today we just have to resort to purified water, but not distilled. Distillation, in fact, deprives water of its soul: it makes it “dead”, unable to transmit its primordial information, that invisible code that connects it to the cosmic cycle.

An acceptable purification, capable of respecting the vitality of the water, is that obtained by reverse osmosis. This process does not extinguish its force, but frees it from impurities, preserving its conductivity properties. Thus the water remains alive, capable of conveying not only the substance, but also the subtle energy that sustains the spagyric transformation.

The alcohol content of a hydroalcoholic solution is never the result of chance: it is wisely calibrated in accordance with the nature of the plant, since each active ingredient responds to its own law of solubility, and only the appropriate degree allows the substance to open and give itself fully. Only at the end of the process is the gradation reduced to a standard, which, in alchemical spagyric tinctures — with rare exceptions — is generally between 50 and 55 degrees by volume.

Maceration lasts for an entire lunar cycle, about thirty days, following the cosmic rhythm that governs growth and transformation. The extraction ratio fluctuates between 1:4 and 1:8, with the most common measurement being 1:5, a balance that guarantees the right saturation. In spagyria, in fact, we do not speak of simple extraction, but of “saturation” extraction: the plant must be completely enveloped in the solvent, like a body immersed in primordial waters, welcomed and kept in the liquid womb from which everything originates.

Thus, dyeing is not just a preparation: it is an act of ritual immersion, a return to the waters of creation, where the material allows itself to be penetrated and transformed, ready to be reborn in a new form.

CIRCULATION: THE MICROCOSM THAT IMITATES THE MACROCOSM

In Solanimus‘ Spagyric-Alchemical Tincture, maceration is not limited to static immersion: it takes place in a circulator, a living vessel, where the solvent evaporates, rises, condenses and falls, repeating its eternal cycle non-stop. It is the circulation of the microcosm, a faithful mirror of the great circulation of the macrocosm: what happens on Earth with the waters, which rise to the sky and return as rain, is repeated in the vase with the alchemical fluid, in a rhythm that unites laboratory and cosmos.

This circulation is not a simple movement: it refines the solvent, makes it thinner, more penetrating, capable of creeping into the most intimate fibers of the plant and extracting a greater quantity of active ingredients. It is as if the breath of the sky itself became finer, more intense, and could penetrate the heart of matter, awakening its secret memory and freeing its hidden virtue.

Thus, the circulator becomes a small universe, a theater in which the dance of the waters and the stars is repeated, and the dye is transformed into a compound that bears the signature of the sky and the earth, of the visible and the invisible.

FIRE AND SALTS: THE RESTITUTION OF THE ESSENCE

At the end of the long and silent maceration, when the plant has already given its subtlest essence, what remains of its material body is delivered to the fire. The flame consumes it, transmutes it, reduces it partly to coals — the obscure memory of matter — and partly to luminous ashes, guardians of soluble salts, of trace elements that contain the vital imprint of the plant.

Those ashes are not scattered: they are reintegrated into the dye, as a sacred act of restitution. It is the alchemical gesture par excellence: what was body becomes salt, and what was salt, evaporated, returns to merge with the solution. Thus the cycle closes and is completed, the transformation is perfected, matter recognizes its own spirit and embraces it again.

The vessels, sealed by the lute of wisdom, silently guard the circulation, like maternal wombs that protect the gestation of the new being. And when internal pressure breaks the lute, it is not an accident but an announcement: the clear and unequivocal signal that the dye has reached its fullness, its maturity, its dignity as a remedy.

THE VITAL SYNERGY

Thanks to the incessant motion of circulation, the trace elements — the volatile salts released from the body of the plant — intertwine with its active ingredients, merging into a single vital current. The tincture is no longer a simple extract: it becomes a living organism, an animated compound, in which matter recognizes the spirit and welcomes it.

In this encounter, the plant not only transmits its therapeutic power, but also delivers its invisible memory, its cosmic imprint, the seal that binds it to the stars and the elements. Each drop of the dye thus becomes a microcosm, a bridge between earth and sky, between body and soul, between what is tangible and what vibrates in the invisible.

CONCLUSION

The Spagyric Tincture stops here, at the end of the final filtration: the process is closed, the substance is ready, but the path remains limited to the technical dimension.

Solanimus‘ Spagyric-Alchemical Tincture, on the other hand, knows no stoppage. It continues, opens up to further phases of processing and improvement, like a pilgrimage that is not satisfied with the threshold but seeks the depth of the temple. Every step becomes a conscious act, every gesture is transformed into a ritual, every transformation becomes a symbol.

It is no longer just a laboratory procedure: it is a bridge that unites operational knowledge to the contemplation of mystery, science to wisdom, matter to its invisible soul. In this path, dyeing is not only a remedy, but a living testimony of an art that transmutes technique into experience, and experience into revelation.

SOLANIMUS‘ ALCHEMICAL SPAGYRIC TINCTURE – THE FINAL PHASE

The coals, residues of the burning, are subjected to the fire of calcination and the purification of leaching, repeated three times, so that all impurities are dissolved and only the mineral essence of the plant remains. From this triple operation, clear salts are obtained, true crystals of plant memory (original sin has been removed).

These salts, now freed from earthly waste, are exposed to the Full Moon, the great mirror of the Sun, so that their structure opens and allows itself to be penetrated by the night light. It is at this moment that deliquescence takes place: matter, made docile and receptive, melts and transforms, welcoming within itself the subtle humidity and cosmic vibrations.

This phase is among the most delicate and mysterious of the entire process: the mineral substance, which had been reduced to coals, awakens and comes to life, collecting the Energy of Nature. What was dust becomes subtle oil, impregnated with celestial forces, and is enriched with Prana, the universal vital force that permeates every being and everything.

In this passage, the alchemical cycle is completed: the body of the plant, dissolved and purified, opens to the sky and receives its subtlest energy. It is as if the Moon itself, with its influence, gave the Tincture a new breath, a luminous soul capable of vibrating deeply and transmitting life.

This liquid salt is then poured into the solution obtained from the circulation with the ashes, and the entire compound is placed to circulate again for a lunar cycle. The choice of rhythm depends on the part of the plant used:

Roots → from the New Moon to the New Moon.
Aerial parts → from the Full Moon to the Full Moon.

At the end of circulation, the Energy of Nature is now integrated into the Tincture. Proceed with filtration, decantation and decanting into a new container, taking care not to shake the jar: the substance deposited on the bottom is the undissolved salt, which must be eliminated.

THE ADVANTAGES OF SOLANIMUS ALCHEMICAL SPAGYRIC TINCTURE

Synergy between active ingredients and trace elements: circulation makes the hydroalcoholic solution thinner, increasing its penetrating power. Later, it brings the salts contained in the ashes of the plant (the trace elements) into solution. The Tincture is thus enriched by a double strength: the active plant ingredients and mineral salts, in perfect synergy.
Dynamizing effect: the circulation gives the solution an incessant motion of expansion and contraction, similar to homeopathic succussion but deeper, like a cosmic breath that animates the substance. This dynamism not only vitalizes the Tincture, but makes it subtle, vibrant, capable of welcoming and transmitting subtle forces, transforming it into a living and pulsating essence.
Cosmic influence: neutrinos, photons and cosmic rays: moonlight — synthesis of solar (+) and lunar (–) radiation — is not only visible splendor, but a vehicle of subtle forces. Neutrinos and photons travel through it, cosmic messengers that cross matter and carry with them the memory of the universe, imprinting their vibratory imprint on the Tincture and on the being that welcomes it.

- Neutrinos, invisible cosmic messengers, pass through matter like threads of silent light. From the burning heart of the Earth are born electronic antineutrinos: geo-neutrinos, thin and very low energy particles that rise to the surface. In ancient texts this luminous current was called “central fire”, an image of a primordial energy that radiates from the core of the planet towards the living world.
- Photons are threads of cosmic memory: each ray of light is knowledge on a journey. They are messengers of eternal light: they guard cosmic memory and spread it like invisible threads that weave the fabric of the universe. Each of their journeys is a silent song that transmits knowledge from one horizon to another, binding the stars, worlds and living beings in a single resonance of light.
- Cosmic rays —ionized atomic nuclei that dart at nearly the speed of light— pass through matter to the subsurface, bringing with them the echo of ancient celestial knowledge. Their circulation, with the rhythms of contraction and expansion, opens subtle openings that favor the entry of these particles into the Tincture, impressing on it the memory of the cosmos.

The gift of the Moon: Prana: by exposing the fixed salts (the magnet) to the moonlight and letting them dissolve in deliquescence, the Vital Energy that the Moon pours on the Earth is collected. This subtle force, Prana, penetrates the solution during circulation, transforming it: no longer just spagyric tincture, but alchemical tincture, capable of acting in the depths of being. It is a vibrant essence, endowed with a powerful vibrational energy, which carries with it the very breath of the cosmos.

The Tincture, at this point, is no longer a simple preparation: it becomes a living compound, a subtle organism in which matter and spirit meet and harmonize. In it, the plant not only transmits its therapeutic virtues, but also delivers its cosmic memory, the memory of the celestial forces that generated it, of the lunar and solar cycles that nourished it, and of the subtle energies that accompanied it in its development.

Each drop of the Tincture holds a double message: on the one hand, the tangible one, expressed in the active ingredients of the plant and in the trace elements taken from its ashes, which operate on the body; on the other hand, the invisible one, the universal memory that addresses the soul. It thus becomes a bridge between the visible and the invisible, between the earthly world and the celestial world, a vehicle of knowledge and energy that transmits the vibration of the plant and the breath of the cosmos.

THE FINAL COMPOSITION

Unlike the Spagyric Tincture, the Spagyric-Alchemical Tincture of Solanimus reveals itself as a true living microcosm, a complete work that encompasses the five pillars of the Hermetic tradition. It contains:

the philosophical Mercury → that is, spagyric alcohol, purified and made a subtle vehicle;
philosophical sulphur → the active ingredients of the plant, which carry its essence and fire;
Volatile salt → trace elements that rise like mineral breath;
the fixed salt → the calcined and leached residue, the terrestrial magnet that anchors the substance;
Prana → the vital energy collected under the influence of the moon, which infuses movement and soul into the compound.

These five elements, united in a single preparation, are not simply components: they become an alchemical organism, a bridge that connects matter, energy and spirit, capable of transmitting the vibration of the plant and reflecting the harmony of the cosmos. The Spagyric-Alchemical Tincture of Solanimus is therefore not only a remedy, but a living seal, an act of transformation that makes tangible the encounter between the science of separation and the wisdom of universal reintegration.

With the use of TSAs , spagyric phytotherapeutic compounds with superior intrinsic strength are created, capable of penetrating the deepest layers of the body and awakening therapeutic dynamics that would otherwise be latent. These preparations, precisely because of their intensity and complexity, require careful and rigorous study: each phase of the process must be calibrated with extreme care, so that the power acquired is not compromised by methodological errors or imbalances in their final configuration.

In this delicate balance, biochemical science and spagyric art cannot be considered separately, but must dialogue and integrate harmoniously. Only in this way can a remedy be obtained that is not only effective on the molecular level, but that preserves and enhances its archetypal signatures, preventing them from being neutralized or dissolved. The true power of the compound comes from the synergy between scientific precision and symbolic-archetypal fidelity, which together give the remedy a transformative quality, capable of acting not only on the body, but also on the energetic and subtle levels of the being.
