    Spagyria and alchemy both involve separating and recombining elements. Specifically, spagyria involves separating out the false from the true, while alchemy's goal is to dissolve and combine elements to achieve a higher state. While related, spagyria and alchemy differ in their aims and methods. Spagyria focuses on physical health, while alchemy is an initiatory pursuit concerning the medicine of the soul. The operator's psychic state is also more important in alchemy, as the relationship between operator and matter facilitates an energetic resonance and transmutation. Ultimately, alchemy accelerates both the physical and spiritual evolution of being by transforming matter at deeper levels than spagyria or homeopathy.

    Spagyria Versus Alchemia

    “Therefore, learn Alchemiam, otherwise called Spagyria, which


    teaches you to separate the false from the true.”
    __Paracelsus_

    What is Spagyria and what has it got to do with Alchemy ?

    The word spagyry in Greek means to separate and recombine.


    Spao meaning to draw out, to divide; and ageiro, to gather, to
    bind, to join. These two steps or operations are the foundation of
    every true and genuine alchemical work.

    The above statement of Paracelsus has long been stated centuries


    before Paracelsus’ time in slightly different words in the
    “Emerald Tablet of Hermes”. Hermes has said that we should
    learn how to “ Separate the fire from the earth, subtle from the
    gross, gently and with great sagacity”. This is the separation.
    Hermes has also said that after the separation, it, “ from earth
    ascends to heaven and descends again new born to earth, having
    acquired the powers of what belongs to heaven and also of that
    which belongs to earth”. In this statement we find the union and
    the recombination as the alchemical conjunction.

    The secret of this operation that Paracelsus was referring to has


    also been expressed by the alchemists in the well known Latin
    phrase ,” solve et coagula, et habebis magisterium” . Disolve and
    combine, and you will have the magistery.

    1
    This separation as is expressed in the spagyrics process is a vital
    part of the alchemical process and is a most important step that
    needs to be taken in our work in order to achieve the desire
    purification of our alchemical essentials.

    This work of the separation is known as a Spagyric technique.


    Companies who produce herbal tinctures, use this technique.
    However to use this technique is not necessarily an alchemical
    work as we shall see.

    It is part of the alchemical work and we will see that commercially


    produced herbal tinctures are not alchemical at all. We can even
    say that these commercial tinctures are not even fully a spagyric
    product, let alone alchemical.

    Because spagyrics and alchemy share common concepts and


    methods, they are often confused with each other. Spagyrics is
    regarded as a part of alchemy, however there is a difference
    between them in intention as well as in the method used in the
    practice.

    A spagyrics product in effect deals with the health of the


    physical body. Alchemy on the other hand is an initiatory pursuit,
    and deals with the medicine of the soul. The true goal of alchemy
    is initiatory.

    Working on a spagyrics product does not require a specific state


    from the operator. In alchemy, however, the psychic quality of
    the operator is very essential.

    2
    The attunement and relationship between the matter worked on
    and the operator becomes very strong. A sympathetic attunement
    is achieved with one’s matter that sets off a certain resonance of
    energies that are being manipulated and raised in vibrations.

    This resonance, being between one’s matter and the operator, is


    as an intimate relationship. That is why it is said that no one will
    transmute anything if he hasn’t transmuted his or herself first.

    There is yet an other important difference in principle between


    spagyrics and alchemy. Spagyrics, like homeopathy, does not
    regard healing to be as a result of some chemical reaction, but
    believes that certain energies, which are contained by the body as
    a vessel, carry out the healing process.

    Homeopathy attempts to eliminate the vessel in order to activate


    the energies.

    Spagyrics purifies the vessel to create in the body a resonance


    that raises the vibrations of the energies.

    Alchemy also does all that, that is, it purifies the matter worked
    with and raises its energies. However it does something above
    and beyond spagyrics and homeopathy. Alchemy accelerates the
    evolution of matter. This is the essential difference. Alchemy
    transforms and converts, it transmutes and accelerates the
    evolution of being both physically and spiritually. Matter and
    spirit go hand in hand.
