The Central Salt

[Andro]

This is a spin-off thread that evolved from: Fixation of Sea Salt towards the P-Stone.

The Central Salt - It's been called quite a few names, such as 'Regenerated Salt of Nature', 'Centrum Naturae Congentratum', 'Sal Metallorum', 'The Androgynous Matter' (containing the 'Two Metallic Natures'), 'The Hidden Fire', 'The Center of the Earth', 'The Hidden Stone', 'The Stone' (St. Didier), etc...

To get things started, a (previously quoted) paragraph from Rusenstein - notice the first line:

Dissolve sea salt in fair water, but let it be SEA salt.

He is IMO very likely to speak of a different 'Sea' and of a different Salt.

I'm suggesting a somewhat different approach to this...

Instead of only dealing with HOW, maybe it's time to also ask WHY (and sometimes WHAT).

WHY 'sea salt'?

WHAT 'sea' are we talking about?

WHY heat the salt? WHAT does/can the heating accomplish?

WHY melt the salt (or not)?

WHY dew?

WHY water/rainwater/'fair' water?

WHY Vinegar?

WHY does/can this process work, IF it works?

WHY doesn't it work, when it doesn't?

WHAT could make it possible for such 'agents' to significantly alter the properties of their 'patients'?

WHAT Keys are consistently being left out of the books/manuscripts?

I'm merely suggesting to also look for CAUSES, rather than merely studying/analyzing the common chemistry of EFFECTS.

It is my personal view that if we don't include Cause in our (equally important) study of Effect, we can read 10,000 more books and yet be none the wiser.

@Andro

Naturally that's being considered, but leads are generally few. The work of Kozyrev seems somewhat relevant. What are your thoughts on the why?

 

[Andro]

Note that this is the most secret and noble work in our art; for it consists in salt, in common salt as well as the metal salt, but it is quicker if the metal salt is used rather than common salt without the salt hois [???]; the metal salt only needs several dissolvings and coagulations and it is ready to be melted. this is because it has already been putrefied. But common salt must be dissolved about 100 times in order to putrefy and purify it. You cannot see this putrefaction, you can only smell it. For there is a corrosive spirit hiding in it, and only when this has been extracted is it pure. When it is pure it is of the consistency of wax and only needs a ferment, luna or sol.

RUESENSTEIN_original.PDF

I very much agree with Herr Ruesenstein here...

Yes, various common salts can work, but the process can be long, tedious and I also doubt its final potency.

Herr Ruesenstein even subtly differentiates (in a quote of him I posted a bit earlier on this thread) between Sea Salt and OUR Sea Salt...

Guasco and others have long and tedious processes with common salt(s), and it takes LARGE amounts of common dew (or many many cycles) to process a comparably small quantity of salt.

Then, Herr Ruesenstein uses the term 'metal salt', otherwise known as 'Sal Metallorum' or 'Salt of Metals'. This is somehow a misnomer, because we are not talking about a known metallic salt, but of the Universal Central Salt, the 'Centrum Naturae Concentratum' (Ali Puli), which many Alchemists tend to associate with the metallic/mineral realm, but its origins are truly universal and it is present EVERYWHERE, only somewhat 'out of sight' (i.e. not readily available for collection in nature and not chemically defined by our chemistry).

I'm also not a fan of common dew as the Agent to operate on the Salt Patient - - - it has very little Celestial Fire, so large quantities are needed and the potency is comparatively quite low.

But for anyone not (yet) familiar with the Universal Center & Agency, the works with common dew and common salt(s) may indeed prove to be valuable experiments/experiences.

 

[crestind]

What is "salt hois"? Would be easier to interpret what he says if this term was understood.

As far as the potency of dew, the Actum Leyden process seems to be a method of multiplying its power. I have heard the resulting product, which started as dew water saturated with sea salt at room temperature, becomes of a syrupy consistency.

 

[Andro]

But for anyone not (yet) familiar with the Universal Center & Agency, the works with common dew and common salt(s) may indeed prove to be valuable experiments/experiences.

From an anonymous treatise (author unknown):

If one cannot find out the remedy, place one similar upon another similar and healing will result.

 

[Salazius]

I am too of that advice.

Your definition of the Central Salt, or is the best so far I've ever read. Thank you.

I've came across this salt seemingly. It freaked me out a bit, so to speak, because it is not behaving as a salt, but as a cell making mitosis, even if it's coming from a salt, but of course, modified through an alchemical process. It is like organic and no more "saline". It's a salt behaving completely differently of any other "crystalline structure".

I'm not a big fan either of Dew. Dew is a natural process, and as everything natural, we can, art.ifically, recreate it, with less pollution (dew nowadays is polluted), and better quantities.

 

[Andro]

It is like organic...

Indeed (at least according to some of its 'behavior'/'properties')... Yet, it is still close in nature to a mineral, as well

That's what may have caused so much difficulty in naming/defining it.

It is neither exactly organic, metallic or mineral, BUT, evolutionary-wise, it could be said that it is closer to the mineral realm (just under it) than any other matter.

That's why I speculate it has also been called 'Salt of Metals'.

Thank you for the feedback!

 

[Salazius]

This is the salt of salts. We could say it is the "first vitriol".

Yes it is not organic, metallic or mineral, but, it is organic, metallic and mineral in the same time... since it is the root of all salts.

We can get it from retrogradation from anything, since everything is "made out" of it.

A good example is mercury. Mercury as root of all metals. And we can get it from retrogradation of all metals.

And it is sometime easier with some metals than others. Some are just closer from the root.

It is exactly the same thing with the Central Salt of Nature.

 

[Andro]

Salazius, Mon Cher

Although we're kind of repeating some of the things we have already shared in private meetings/conversations, I think it's good to contribute this to the forum as well.

There has been so much speculation and so many interpretations of this term (Central Salt), that it is good to discuss some of the principles behind it.

The title of this thread includes the words 'Sea Salt', but it doesn't have to be 'Sea Salt' exclusively.

The least 'cooked' matters/salts are the best candidates for retro-gradation, I would say...

Like you said:

It is the root of all salts. We can get it from retro-gradation from anything, since everything is "made out" of it.

I have come across an interesting 'candidate' lately, a very promising 'Venus' which is 'born' without hands, but I have to wait until spring when it gets a bit warmer, in order to work it in a Natural Way.

 

[Salazius]

Spring can be art.ificially recreated too. That's the good news.

And to be noted that Spring time is our philosophical moment, of the spring.

Indeed as you stated before "our sea salt" can be different from "sea salt". The St Uber salt that is described in the Leyden Letter (St Uby in some other deformed letters), is the salt of the "sea in the sky".

A spring of niter.

 

[alfr]

... Dew is a natural process, and as everything natural, we can, art.ifically, recreate it, with less pollution (dew nowaday is polluted), and better quantities.

Spring can be art.ificially recreated too...

Dew we can artificially, recreate? As?
And Spring can be artificially recreated? As?

Hi Salazius very interesting this sentence you say.

And you explain this well as create the dew artificially with less pollution also I here as you in nowadays I am in Italy here in my town where I live I have same problem of strong pollution so can explication as create dew and spring in laboratory I think that many here have a same problem of strong pollution in the town and near the town and no many can transfer ( for the work and for economy crisis etc ) in place with out pollution so can explain deep it ? about these themes I have only listened ( but i not have any date serious and concrete about these) that there are research in agriculture etc about these can give reference link article indication etc about these methodology and technique ?

Very thanks

My best regards alfr

 

[Andro]

I think V.I.T.R.I.O.L. could come in handy here...

1. Visit the Interior of the Earth.

2. Rectify it. (some clues in earlier posts)

3. You have found the Hidden Stone.

Quite a recipe, I would say...

 

[Salazius]

about these themes I have only listened ( but i not have any date serious and concrete about these) that there are research in agriculture etc about these can give reference link article indication etc about these methodology and technique ?

Thank you Alfr,

I read somewhere that fog and dew are 27% more polluted than rain water. Due to their volatility and the capacity to take the pesticides and other particles.

You are asking about the capacity to recreate by art, the Spring Time and the salt of Dew. You have to deeply understand what exaclty is going on in Nature at that time (also in autumn). And at least, in the overall cycle of the seasons. Once you get the keys, you can identify how, why, what, when. And then you can focus on what is important, essential, to recreate it.

 

[Andro]

You know, you can water your garden/lawn with water from the faucet, but it is only during actual rainfall than abundant growth occurs.

I don't remember the details, but some years ago there was a scientific experiment to chemically recreate rainwater.

Anyway, those scientists managed to create an exact chemical replica of rainwater.

However, they failed to achieve the abundant growth and vitalization/quickening that occurs with genuine rainwater.

So it's not in the chemistry. It has to be 'alive'.

Always look for the 'Blind Passenger'.

Always look for the 'Hidden Hand'.

Sure Andro i am total agree with you ("Hidden Hand" the spark of life etc it is in IMHO is not possible still now create it in scientific laboratory for now (IMHO is possible only attract and manifest it no more) so dew and spring create in scientific laboratory is not the same result as that of natural cosmic sure)

And so is it for this i am ask Salazius that he say that, because what that he say about it is very very interesting and very important ( if is possible it ? ) but until now (and up to serious and concrete evidence different) in imho i think is not possible create spring and dew in laboratory i very hope this i am very happy if it is possible but i not think it is real possible and gave the same result as the true natural cosmic spring an dew.

But also i have also one very open mind ( and so i accept all the true new discoveries if there are it ) so if is possible in concrete and result it the same i accept it and i happy if it is possible of can use it also because i see the horrible situation of polluted that made many difficult to work in some aspect universal of alchemy ( dew rain water etc) and so is more difficult if one life in town or near the town with there are much polluted
but i don't think it is possible create well it ( the true natural cosmic spring an dew ) in one laboratory (i have only listened it as a many many rumors about it but only rumors and not more and is for this about this many rumors i have ask if it is real possible it and if some experiment of scientific is arrived to create it .

Alchemy, Our Sea, and the "Hidden Hand"- the Spark of Life .

NOW for me alchemy is a some process near chemical sure ( and IMHO is not spiritual or similar excuses.. )

but the alchemy IMHO is also a one essential and indispensable interconnection with the ( our 'Hidden Hand' the spark of life etc it is in IMHO is not possible still create in scientific laboratory for now but maybe in future yes but maybe in future ). that for imho it is the forces of the nature the attraction by air sky etc the sidereal influence ( air, sky sidereal etc IMHO OUR SEA where there is the food of the life very well quoted and indicated by Sendivogius...etc ) the force the rays on the moon, and or of sun, star etc i think the various magnet salt and the various matter mineral metallic etc is different support there must attract or extract the Spark of Life ; for one example the famous SALT CENTRAL and the Firs V.I.T.R.I.O.L. or our True Nitro Venus or Mars in many text and ancient internal and reserved traditional manuscript is give all in different text and reserved manuscript give indication always is give about this Central Salt the indication to use for arrived at manifest it same and as matter for it use the Clay and land greasy rich of iron and copper ( nb leo rutilius/rogerc in this forum made veri interesting thread about it ) and ad exemple Ortelius in him commentary at the novun lumen chimicum of sendivogius (part of this commentary of Ortelius is in the file rams digital library), give precise indication very interesting indication to use as matter for create and extract by it the Central Salt the Bolus Rubens Armenus and it effloresence of it and the his varius synthesis of effloresence of the allumes plumoso etc and about it also thesauro theraurorum of the golden rose cross of the 1700 indicate well it but about it i will return well more in other post that i stay preparing on it) so in imho the different matters ( vegetable, human-animal, mineral, metatallic,universal,) use in alchemy and well preparateis only all a one support sure for the 'Hidden Hand hidden inside our sea the natural force as i have say before) that modification the matter well prepared for the action of the "Hidden Hand"or imho all the various influence of natural forces natural sideral air sky hot cold temperature, the ray of the moon or sun etc


(NB of course this is my opinion : that for made all alchemy work is not necessary spiritual rules or moral rules or state and condiction mental of meditation or similar excuses...for influence and transform the various matters etc alchemy for me is not this . So as have say for me it the alchemy is only on ancient process based on the one ancient science/chemical/physical etc in union with the very strict interconnection with the different cosmic natural force etc and this my opinion is based on data from that study and experimentation for a long time but also of course if about it arrived evidence different with other data serious and valid i well keep account other results )

[Andro]

Alfr my dear, think PRINCIPLES, please!

We don't need to recreate Rain/Dew just like it is in nature. It's too weak for our purposes, anyway...

Jean Dubuis emphasizes the difference between Common Rain and Philosophical Rain. So does Von Welling.

The thread about 'The Iron Soul of Gold' reveals some of the Movers/Carriers of the 'Hidden Hand'.

(Many thanks and appreciation to True Initiate - formerly known as 'True Puffer' - for the insights he has generously shared & revealed on 'The Iron Soul of Gold')

Understand the Movers/Carriers first.

We cannot 'create' Spiritus Mundi/The Universal Spirit.

But, we can rectify a good starting Earth with a properly prepared agent, an agent that is somewhat close in properties (but not in chemistry) with the Universal Spirit, and the resulting Rectified Earth (Central Salt) will be of the same nature with the Universal Spirit (only differing in degree, "As Above So Below") and have great sympathy and attraction for it.

Both our 'Agent' and 'Patient' will have their properties significantly altered in the process of regenerating the Central Salt...

We could even keep the altered Agent for other purposes, more 'Particular' ones (Weidenfeld), but, like Von Welling writes, evaporating it works just as well for re-generating Our Center.

Some Alchemists are of the opinion that the first Agent and the Universal Spirit are one and the same in the first preparation.

I personally do not share this opinion, but it doesn't mean I'm right and they're wrong.

It is my personal and subjective view, given the qualitative similarity (in properties) between the fist ('manufactured') Agent and the Universal Spirit, that many Alchemists divert into High Spagyrics and are content with that, rather than continuing The Work forwards, towards the Universal.

This, however, does NOT mean that our 'manufactured' Agent is devoid of Spirit/'Hidden Hand'. It's in there, it just lacks the potency/concentration of pure, unspecified SM. This is also how I see the foundational difference between Universal Alchemy and High Spagyrics...

It's a little like Catch 22...

To rectify the Earth/Salt/Patient we need the Universal Spirit (returning it closer to its 'First Matter').
However, on the other hand, to attract/embody the Universal Spirit, we need its Rectified Earth/Center.

Much confusion arose (IMO) from writers such as Fulcanelli, who wrote that the Agent/Secret Fire can be 'manufactured' by Man. St. Didier already referred to this prepared/sublimed Salt/Center as 'The Stone'. However, he does differentiate between this initial 'Stone' and the final product.

I very much believe those Authors are referring to the 'next best thing', a 'Prima Materia-Like' agent/substance (Hermes Old & True Nature Path), to overcome this 'Catch 22'...

Please understand well what has been written on this thread and on other similar threads.

The will be no instructions and methodologies here, at least not from me.

You will hopefully design your own methods, just like every Advanced Alchemist I have ever met in my travels.

And please, read The Golden Chain and Opus Mago-Cabalisticum at least 10 times, if not 20 (I'm not joking!!! )

They explain very well the Magnet ('Venus'), the Agency ('Mars'/'Niter'), the required Affinity of 'The Regenerated Earth' with 'The Heavens', etc...

I.M.S.U.

 

[alfr]

Hi dear andro all you write is very interesting thanks

but also a little to much hazard why you say : Much confusion arose (IMO) from writers such as Fulcanelli, who wrote that the Agent/Secret Fire can be 'manufactured' by Man. St. Didier already referred to this prepared/sublimed Salt/Center as 'The Stone'. However, he does differentiate between this initial 'Stone' and the final product.

so yuo know exact waht fulcanelli etc made ?

sorry but but say it it is a little hazard but sorry for say it you must know very well all process, and bebefore say it must have concrete realised of the process and you must have a concrete result and true feedback evidence of all these process so it a much little little hazard say what ? before you have well done the work of Fulcanelli or St. Didier etc and having serious and real and indisputable feedback evidence in what ?

about the share you say : The will be no instructions and methodologies here, at least not from me.

You will hopefully design your own methods, just like every Advanced Alchemist I have ever met in my travels

sure the base and the principle as very much imprtant sure

BUT sorry i respect you opinion but these is not absolutly the my and thre are not it wrong rules inside in my tradition alchemy rc ,to the contrary inside my ancient tradition alchemy rc to which I belonged was all the opposite of what we share all with any problem because we think that the alchemy knowledge spreading can change e save and give a other opportunity at all the humanity and more person wake up is well for all the future of the humanity ... i our opinion and in miho the spreading of the knowledge alchemicals can change this current infernal reality catastrophic of became slaves of the n.w.o. in one real paradise.... and so we continue to share open ..(alchemy ancient tradition rc from which I come and in which I participated and work in laboratory for many years ) and so ( by with about it we hate a one total different opinion ) and so i/ we continue to share very open also the method operative that now thaks at the modern time and modern research and translation now are public in biblioteque archive etc (before at that manuscript reserve can have acces exclusive only for person can have money ( for translation it ) and not are in one intellettual academic elit (Serious traditional data now publish in opposition to the rampant nonsense and flights of fancy and many inventions and pseudo modernist insights that have long plagued the research and experiments in alchemy)) and so i continue to share and put this methods because i think it is inside this ancient operative text and reserved manuscript we must take with good faro and traditional guild help and inside we can found many key and explication for all and not only for one elit so i continue to share opend also all these the ancient method found an translation inside the reserve of ancien manuscript example the instruction ancien for create the SALT CENTRAL by clay / bolus armenus rubens as say commentary of ortelius at the novum lumen chimicun ( part of this commentary it is in file rams digital library) and thesaurum tesaurorum and naxagora on chain gold omero etc so i dont know if these instruction and it principle indicate are complet or not but i think these is a good and serious base traditional of the ancient for to start for study (Serious traditional data now publish in opposition to the rampant nonsense and flights of fancy and many inventions and pseudo modernist insights that have long plagued the research and experiments in alchemy) and maybe to understood many important passage on the work alchemical

The Golden Chain and Opus Mago-Cabalisticum

you say :..And please, read The Golden Chain and Opus Mago-Cabalisticum at least 10 times, if not 20 (I'm not joking!!!.. ok sure so if you about it if you want can you quote more deep there some paragraph of this text that for you can give better indication about you say :They explain very well the Magnet ('Venus'), the Agency ('Mars'/'Niter') can give if you want your opinion and indicate the passage etc that give in your opinion a good clarification in these text

my best regard alfr

 

[Andro]

Hi Alfr (& everyone reading this),

i respect you opinion

You said you respect my opinion. Fine. I'll take you up on your word.

My opinion is that you can't expect someone to 'indicate a passage' for you. Read the good books, many times if needed. Every passage needs context, and the books will give you context when you read them entirely, many times over.

My opinion is not to deny someone the quest and the joy of personal/direct Initiation (those precious 'aha' moments) by detailing various 'methods' or 'instructions'. From One Thing there are many Applications. More than one possible agent/patient combo to work with, towards the Re-Generated Central Salt of Nature.

My opinion is that someone should tailor their own path towards Initiation.

My opinion is that the books I've recommended are quite explicit on the current topic, but just one passage is of no use without context and a mind ready and open to receive.

My opinion is that I've already said more than enough on this topic and that I have as clearly as possible (for me) explained the difference between the Universal Spirit and a man-made Agent, plus the confusion added by writers who talk about knowledge of chemistry and making a 'Secret Fire' in the laboratory, and how (and why) this is different from the unspecified Universal Spirit, that cannot be 'made' by man. If it wasn't clear enough, either re-read OR my ability to express those concepts still needs improvement.

My opinion is that I genuinely wish you and everyone else the encounter with Revelation and the Wisdom to recognize it when it's right in front of you.

My opinion is that asking the 'higher' questions will lead to the 'higher' answers, eventually. Low-grade questions will inevitably lead to low-grade answers, IMO.

in miho the spreading of the knowledge alchemicals can change this current infernal reality catastrophic in a paradise

My opinion is that 'paradise' is inaccessible to those who are not able to handle what it might imply. I'm not sure I can. Also, everything 'catastrophic' is merely another step in evolution.

My opinion is that you are completely entitled to disagree with my opinion.

I have already answered, to the best of my ability and my current level of experience and understanding, the questions I cared enough to address. It's far from 'perfect', but it is what I am ready and willing to share at this time.

My 'answers' are not 'The Truth'. One should find their own, IMO.

Ignis Natura Renovatur Integra

Nature regenerates all the time.

The work of the Alchemist towards Re-Generating the Central Salt of Nature is no different in principle, only in degree.

That's all I can say for now, and please take it all with both skepticism and an open mind, simultaneously.

hi andro I repeat I respect what you say and your opinions, BUT as I said I and the ancient tradition traditional alchemical rc to which I belonged think and think in a totally different on sharing knowledge alchemical rules tradition etc exactly as so I have already explained, therefore I refer in all my previous post
but also you say :
That's all I can say for now, and please take it all with both skepticism and an open mind, simultaneously.

about this sure always about what I totally agree with you

NB anyway made clear this, well this ever differentiating and marking the different opinions you may well think more about what unites and neglecting that which divides always in mutual respect of the difference opiniom and ways to proceed and of sharing.And what can do well to starting by clear and open analysis about the very interesting text of Rusenstein on solve and coagula of the sea salt that you say maybe this recipe you have post is not it ? and water/ dew rain water always maybe you say ? that you have published in the first post of this thread.!
But still maintaining the mutual different opinions and ways of belonging to the tradition as well as the different ways of research and the sharing of the knowledge alchemical

[Andro]

I'm currently incubating some NaCl in a solution of ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride.

The Mutus Liber does indeed depict some sort of 'Sal Ammoniac' as part of the combo it suggests.

If we wish to go/try this way, it would need to be 'alive' in order to perform such a demanding Agency. This goes for any combo we might work with, and there's a bit more to it...
Like, for example, putrefaction and/or application of the Law of Mediums for the passing of Matter from one state to another (see 'Golden Chain').

Leo/RogerC wrote extensively about this on the Celestial Agriculture thread.
I strongly recommend to read that thread in its entirety.

An interesting way to 'test' our potential agent(s) could be to add it (in small quantities) to a balding grass patch (for example), and see if it has some 'revitalizing' potency like common rain has.

On a slightly different note:

'The Golden Chain' also provides a description of the actual physical appearance of 'our' Salt, when it has reached its 'sublime' state as the 'New Earth', ready to be 'sown' with the Universal Spirit/Seed.

 

[Andro]

Addendum:

Since there is more than one way to Re-Generate our 'New Earth', I also recommend reading the second part of THIS POST that I wrote quite some time ago.

Here is an excerpt:

I know that, as many authors who seem reliable, follow different methods for their first purification and the extraction of their Sal Metallorum. Grasshof, for example, says that we can use different methods to perform that first purification. On the other hand, Limojon de St Didier and Fulcanelli, teach a wholly different protocol [...]
Now, as I believe that you have worked with urea, dew and others matters in the past, you can inform us if you had any success following that approach.

Not urea, urine. And dew, saliva and other body fluids. During the process of working with those matters, I began to realize that they are NOT the materials/ingredients to 'manufacture' The Stone, but merely potential candidates to serve as Ph. Magnets for the Spiritus Mundi. The Ph. Magnet should possess certain qualities, no matter what matter(s) it was prepared from. We may get some good hints of what these QUALITIES are from some old so-called 'recipe' manuscripts, which are in fact merely directions for preparing magnets (IMO) and even so, many of those magnet 'recipes' are still incomplete (like the infamous 'Actum Leyden' document, for example).

I believe all the Authors you mention speak of valid protocols for preparing the Ph. Magnet. It does not need to be a metal or a mineral ore.

The most important thing for the PH. Magnet is to possess the desired attributes for facilitating the attraction and fixation of SM.

The starting material for the Ph. Magnet can be one of several, and the same goes for agents of 'purification'.

hi every one

Magnet/central salt and the water that does not wet your hand

about the Magnet/central salt it principles of and principle of it mainifistation etc and where you also seek and as found it .
And where and how we can also found in it the famous water that does not wet your hands ( NB and the important efflorecence that must see appear and necessary arrived and appear on the matter ather the correct exposition in the natural force air moon etc for so we can know tha the matter is ready to elaboration : liscivare distillation calcination etc ) and can we see in the it chapter there are a strict connection with the indication gived about it in the golden chain omere so imho this is very important this chapter of the 3 part published in French by Editions sesheta ( small publishing house that has among various subjects of occultism imho of little interest... but instead has a good series of translations of rare texts of the Rosicrucian tradition) link: [link broken]

here i quote integral it (sorry it is in france language maybe please salazius can help in translation well of it )

about this indication on central sal by the edition sesheta are very imprtant also other 2 book about the golden rose cross tradition titled; toeltius coelum reseratum chymicum link: [link broken]

Ceci n'est rien d'autre que le vrai ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) astral ou mercuriel, qui peut être gardé très pur, à partir d'une terre vierge adamique, qui est à trouver entre les racines des végétaux, car la terre porte un aimant magnétique en elle : c'est pour cette raison que de tels aimants attirent à eux l'esprit universel, et deviennent un ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) gras.
Ce ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) n'est pas encore spécifié, il n'est ni animal, ni végétal, ni minéral, mais plutôt complètement pur, et universel, propre à toutes choses, parce qu'il contient et possède l'esprit universel et le baume magnétique en grande quantité ; quant à la manière d'y parvenir, je vais te l'enseigner dès à présent.
Si tu connais un endroit oh trouver, au début de l'année, un beau sol noir, gras et glaiseux, ou une terre rouge solaire, comme dans une prairie ou un champ cultivable, alors rends-toi là-bas à l'aube, creuse un trou à hauteur des genoux, afin de n'avoir ni herbes ni racines.
Prends au moins 24. Centner de cette terre, laisse-la étalée pendant jours et nuits par un temps clair et lumineux, la meilleure période étant en mai.
Mais s'il devait pleuvoir, tu devrais la couvrir de planches. Passé ce laps de temps, lorsque la terre a formé des efflorescences, emporte-la à l'abri dans ta maison.
Rends-toi dès lors à l'endroit oh travaillent les femmes, munis-toi d'un tonneau en bois, comme les salpêtriers, qui a été renforcé en bas avec des soutiens et possédant une bonde ou des tubes (ou boute).
Place une quantité de terre brute à l'intérieur, puis de l'air au-dessus, puis verses-y assez d'eau pure pour que la terre se transforme en boue. Prends alors une marmite d'eau chaude, que tu peux d'ailleurs utiliser dès le début.

Pag 466

PARTIE 3 - CHAPITRE XI
Verses-en assez pour recouvrir la terre et qu'elle la dépasse de la hauteur d'une main, ferme le bidon et laisse-le ainsi pendant un jour et une nuit, ensuite ouvre le trou de la bonde tout en bas, et laisse le liquide couler dans une bassine placée en dessous, procède ainsi avec toute la terre.
Place cette lessive dans un chaudron en cuivre, et fais-la évaporer de moitié. Si des cristaux se forment, alors place le chaudron dans un endroit frais, ainsi après peu de jours, un ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) va se déposer au fond, tel un ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SALPETRE ) , mais qui ne brûle pas, comme le fait le vulgaire.
Ce ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) , retire-le, et fais encore évaporer la moitié de la lessive, puis sors-la du feu, alors encore plus de ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) va se former, et continue ceci jusqu'à ce qu'aucun ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) ne se forme plus, purifie le ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) en le dissolvant, le filtrant, coagulant et le cristallisant, aussi longtemps qu'il le faut avec de la rosée ou de l'eau de pluie, jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne entièrement cristallin et transparent.
Ainsi tu tiens entre tes mains le vrai ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SALPETRE ), qui plane dans la mer du monde, et qui, lorsqu'on le trouve, est une eau qui ne mouille pas les mains, c'est un ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) sans lequel rien ne peut naître au monde.
A présent, prends une livre de ton ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) noble, broie-le dans un mortier en verre, mélange-le à sa propre terre que tu as auparavant calcinée, humidifie-la avec de l'eau de pluie, et fais-en des boulettes, que tu sécheras au soleil.
On peut également placer au soleil l'air aui a été mélangé au ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ), et imbiber une telle terre — ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) avec de la rosée ou de l'eau de pluie pendant un mois, afin que l'esprit de ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE MERCURE ) s'y accroisse, fais-en dès lors des boulettes.
Remplis la moitié d'une retorte avec ces boulettes, qui ont été bien écrasées, place-la dans un four, et ferme-la en y installant un grand condenseur, dans lequel tu as rajouté au moins 2 livres d'eau de pluie ; distille ainsi

PAG 467

l'esprit et le ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) en les faisant s'élever, et procède ainsi avec le reste, jusqu'à ce que tu aies élevé et séparé tout le ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) et le sublimé.
Verse ensuite ton sublimé accompagné de ton ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) dans un alambic, et distille-le au bain-marie pour en séparer le phlegme, après cela place l'alambic dans une chapelle de sable et distille à nouveau l'esprit en le faisant s'élever ; garde celui-ci à part, car il doit être distillé plusieurs fois.
Ensuite donne un fort feu, alors le ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) se sublime dans le chapiteau.
Il doit se sublimer assez longtemps pour que plus aucune fèce ne reste dans l'alambic, et celui-ci doit être bien mis de côté et conservé.
Dès à présent, prends le Caput Mortuum et extrais-en le ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) avec de l'eau de pluie distillée.
Purifie ce dernier par la dissolution et la coagulation, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit bien pur et transparent comme un ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SALPETRE ) .
Par la suite, mets ensemble l'esprit et le ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SEL ) dans une fiole, et place-les à digérer dans la vapeur, jusqu'à ce que tout se soit transformé en une eau.
Ainsi tu tiens entre tes mains une vraie liqueur universelle, avec lequel on peut préparer le vrai ( ICI LE SYMBOLE DE LE SOLEIL OU DE LE OR ) Potable et une puissante teinture, comme je vais te l'enseigner, mon fils, dans le travail en aval.....

Catena Aurea Homeri
In the spring, sometimes with rain and dew, and autumn, he retired and returned to where he came oh. This is nothing other than the real (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) astral or mercury, which can be kept very pure Adamic from a virgin land, which is found between plant roots because earth has a magnetic magnet in it: it is for this reason that such magnets attract to themselves the universal spirit, and become one (HERE SIMBOL oF SALT) fat.
This (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) is not yet specified, it is neither animal nor vegetable, or mineral, but completely pure and universal fit for all things, because it contains and has the universal spirit and magnetic balm in large quantities; on how to do this, I will teach you now.
If you know a place oh find at the beginning of the year, a beautiful black soil, rich and loamy red earth or sun, as in a grassland or arable field, then go up there at dawn , digs a hole at knee height to have neither grass nor roots.
Take at least 24. Centner of this earth, let it spread out for days and nights with a bright and clear weather, the best time is in May.
But if it were raining, you should cover it with planks. After this time, when the earth formed blooms, carries it to the shelter in your house.
Make yourself once at the point oh working women, armed yourself with a wooden barrel, such as saltpeter, which was reinforced bottom with support and having a bung and tube (or snap).
Place a quantity of raw earth inside, and the air above, and also pour enough pure water to the earth turns into mud. Then take a hot water pot, you can also use early on.



PART 3 - CHAPTER XI
Pour out enough to cover the earth, and it exceeds the height of a hand, closes the can and let him well for a day and a night, then opens the drain hole at the bottom, and leaves the liquid flow into a basin placed below, and proceeds with the earth.
Place the laundry in a copper pot, and let it evaporate half. If crystals form, then put the pot in a cool place, so after a few days, one (HERE SIMBOL OF SALT) will settle to the bottom, like a (HERE OF THE SIMBOL NITRE) but do not burn, as does the vulgar.
This (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT), removes it, and still do evaporate half the laundry, then go out from the heat, so even more (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) will be formed, and continues this until no (SIMBOL HERE tO SALT) no longer form, purifies (SIMBOL HERE tO SALT) in the solvent, the filter, coagulant and crystallizing as long as necessary with dew or rain water, until it becomes fully crystalline and transparent.
So you hold in your hands the real (HERE OF THE SIMBOL NITRE), which hovers in the sea of the world, and, when found, is water that does not wet the hands, it's a (ICI tHE SALT OF SIMBOL) without which nothing can be born in the world.
Now, take a pound of tone (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) noble, crushes it in a glass mortar, mix it with his own land that you previously calcined moistens it with rainwater , and make into balls, you Sécheras the sun.
Can also be placed in the sun the air was mixed with aui (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) and imbibe such land - (HERE SIMBOL OF SALT) with dew or rain water for a months so that the spirit of (HERE SIMBOL MERCURY) it multiply, do with them once dumplings.
Fill half a retort with these balls, which were well crushed it up in a furnace, and shut up by installing a large condenser, in which you added at least 2 pounds of rainwater; and distilled.


mind and (HERE SIMBOL OF SALT) by the rise, and so proceed with the rest until you had all the high and separated (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) and the sublime .
Then pour your sublimated accompanied tone (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) in a still and distills it in a water bath to separate the phlegm after that places the sand still in a chapel and distilled again the mind doing it to rise; guard thereof in part, because it must be distilled multiple times.
Then provides a high heat, then the (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) is sublime in the marquee.
It must sublimate long enough for most any FECE remains in the still, and it must be well set aside and stored.
Now, take the Mortuum-Caput and extract it in the (SIMBOL HERE TO SALT) with distilled water rain.
Purifies it through the dissolution and coagulation, until very pure and transparent as (HERE OF THE SIMBOL NITRE).
Thereafter, putting together the mind and (HERE SIMBOL OF SALT) in a jar, and place them to digest in the steam until everything is transformed into water.
So you hold in your hands a real universal liquor, with which the real can be prepared (HERE OF THE SIMBOL SOLEI OR PRODUCT OR) Drinking and powerful dye, as I will teach you, my son, in the work downstream .....

Thank you Andro for starting this thread!

Though 'Central Salt' may not be the same thing as 'our sea-salt', when I hear of 'our sea-salt' I am brought back to what I read in "The Golden Chain of Homer", in that book he mentions a specific salt as 'our sea-salt' and it is not sodium chloride. If 'The Golden Chain' is correct then you guys are on to something here:

I'm currently incubating some NaCl in a solution of ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride.

The Mutus Liber does indeed depict some sort of 'Sal Ammoniac' as part of the combo it suggests.

If we wish to go/try this way, it would need to be 'alive' in order to perform such a demanding Agency. This goes for any combo we might work with, and there's a bit more to it...
Like, for example, putrefaction and/or application of the Law of Mediums for the passing of Matter from one state to another (see 'Golden Chain').

Leo/RogerC wrote extensively about this on the Celestial Agriculture thread.
I strongly recommend to read that thread in its entirety.

An interesting way to 'test' our potential agent(s) could be to add it (in small quantities) to a balding grass patch (for example), and see if it has some 'revitalizing' potency like common rain has.

On a slightly different note:

'The Golden Chain' also provides a description of the actual physical appearance of 'our' Salt, when it has reached its 'sublime' state as the 'New Earth', ready to be 'sown' with the Universal Spirit/Seed.

..and I'm not sure if this is a 'central salt' or not, but here is a photo of a salt that I was able to extract from a common 'earth' that seems to have strange properties. From my understanding, this 'salt' is able to be extracted from just about any matter using the method I utilized to obtain what is shown in this image:
