As I have mentioned elsewhere about the Elixir of Life, the recipe is real and does have very real results. The stories of turning lead to gold are allegories, but the truth is far more amazing. The elixir is far more valuable then gold; and the prima materia, far more common and worthless then lead. This recipe relates to everything, above and below, as indicated by the emerald table of Hermes. Something I have always known is that the great work also applies to GOD’s plan for the world...

There is also philosophic alchemy which doesn’t believe in the true work because they believe that the alchemists really were working with metals and of course were unsuccessful. Philosophic alchemy is useful in transforming the soul to a degree because enlightenment has always been embedded in Alchemy; to understand the recipe and the great work you must ascend yourself.

My point here is that the philosophers disagree, and argue on a great many points; but the Alchemist who has completed the great work knows the recipe true; for if you are missing on a single point it will fail. They know the importance of patience, secrecy, and timing. They know the truth better than anyone. Though they are few, they have left many examples of the recipe for us to find and interpret. The beauty of the thing of course is that only the enlightened can make sense of the recipes.

I have been walking up and down in life, overall throughout all of my lives, as well as, in each lifetime. Up and down, back and forth, to and fro, separating the good from the bad; taking on what is good, discarding what is bad. I have seen the highest highs, and I have lived the lowest lows. I have come full circle, Alchemy is where my path began some 17 years or so ago: Alchemy is where my path will end; for Alchemy Ancient is my path defined. From the book of Job... “from whence cometh thou Satan?” and Satan replied, “from going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it.”

In the beginning the two Lucifers were one; then we split and I, being fire, earth and War, took charge; but water, air, Love was truly no less important than me; just more timid, and beautiful. I claimed to be the first because I am the Alpha, and to protect my Love; but the truth is that Love did come first, and Love will remain here when I am gone. He was my faithful lieutenant who, when we came to this planet, went ahead before me to make sure it was safe; and it was He who lit the way for Me. It is his place of Honor to always light my way; He was my John the Baptist, and He is my Lucifer Blue; my Compass, and Ignitor, always.

In the beginning of the Alchemical recipe of the Great Work the fire/earth is separated from the aether/water: When all is done, and the two elements have been worked upon until they are properly fortified, then they are rejoined. It is sometimes alluded to as the Father remarried to Son. You see we have both been tempered to the point that we are both gods of love & war; well him love & war, me war & love. So in the beginning Love and War were the same divine spirit, then they became separate, and opposite in traits. Completely separated but always retaining the universal attraction and need for each other, and the kinship of being two uniques of a kind. They are separated, thoroughly tempered, and then reunited.

From us, the rest of the gods came forth, each of them naturally being progressively less perfect in their closeness to YHWH then the previous. Each was tested for verity in the garden before being declared a god and given their wisdom. Thusly was determined the limit in the line of gods where verity could be achieved. When the first one to fail, failed the test of verity, he was declared Hades, god of the underworld. He was given the name Adam because he was the first of his race, of men who were not gods, and he was sent away to multiply; to be worked upon and reintroduced to the alembic later.

Those which were created after Adam, were scattered about the world and are known as the aboriginal races. They were each given some pieces of wisdom and knowledge for their survival. They are evidence of many things, including the fact that man, left on his own, without the influence of the gods, will never advance. We all now know and can see, that these aboriginal peoples are no less intelligent then the rest of the world; it has been well proven, and only a blind bigot could think otherwise. Many also intermingled with the bloodlines of the gods, creating the European races. The lower races were also used as workers, servants and slaves.

All peoples are equally capable of greatness. All follow the lead of the gods and all have been well tempered except for those who have avoided the sting of temperance by hiding within the bosom of the beast. Those will still need centuries of temperance, and this is alluded to as the punishment of the wicked in the end. All of those who are fat on the church today will be laborers and slaves for many centuries to come; but rest assured that they will not be tormented the way that they tormented us; for hell shall no longer be inescapable, and the truth shall be available to all.

The gods themselves, invested with all knowledge and wisdom, multiplied and went about creating the great societies of ancient times. They built temples, as I have mentioned before, and created the mysteries, which allegorically preserved their greatest secrets… Until the fall they all had true immortality, meaning that they continuously reincarnated with awareness at least somewhat intact.

The appearance of Hermes Trismegistus, who created the system of Alchemy as we know it, is not a mystery; neither is the immortality of St. Germaine implausible. In fact I am certain that once the Alchemist has achieved the elixir, alchemy will be so instilled in his soul that in every successive life he will indeed be drawn back to alchemy; and because he is worthy, and honors the creator in his works, he would most likely regain much self awareness; Providing that he is not trapped by the lie. But if he was, I really don’t think he would be able to achieve success with the elixir in the first place. I would think that any Christian alchemist would have to be purely philosophical because they would have to distort the recipe to fit their beliefs. In fact I am certain of it.

I have met with Hermes in his current incarnation his name is B.A.Allala. It was he who initiated me into Alchemy and the occult. He helped me see who I am, which I would not come to fully understand for many years; and he told me a great deal about alchemy. He summoned up the elixir which came from an Alchemist disguised as a biker named Hope.

Baallala didn’t know who he himself was, I figured that out later. It was only under the influence of the elixir that he ever revealed anything to me. The things he revealed, when we later discussed them he didn’t have any idea how he knew them, and often didn’t remember even telling me them. I now understand that he was not ascended, and was channeling his spirit, Hermes.

He is my brother and he is among the fallen angels; he is still held tightly under the control of the Catholic church. It was fate which brought him to my doorstep, and neither one of us really understood why he came to live on my couch. I claimed that I liked to have him around as a body guard, as he was just out of the Marines, and I was selling pot and crystal at the time; but the truth was that I was compelled towards his spirit; I loved him and I desired to be near him.

He was raised in a strict Catholic southern Marine Corp family. If he had known what he would set in motion I don’t think he would have stayed with me. Our platonic relationship lasted 7 years before I raised the courage to banish him. I bought him a one way ticket back home to the East Coast, and put him on a plane. I do miss him and hope to see him again before I leave. If not, I know I will see him when I return...

In one session he said to me, “We are all tired of waiting,” and asked, “When are you going to end it?” I’m sure I said something like, “What the fuck are you talking about?” Other times he just tried to convince me that I had some sort of inheritance which he wanted me to find and either give to him or share with him, depending on the dominance of his mood at the time. I never understood what he was referring to, now of course I do. He had the heart of a usurper, but it is not his fault; as I said, he was among the fallen. One of my tasks is to reclaim my fallen brothers, and of course, I forgive him and welcome him to stand beside me in Olympus when the time comes.

One of the things Hermes Baallala revealed to me while in one of those trances, which we called tweeking, was the identity of the Prima Materia. He couldn’t explain it, and I didn’t really believe him. It didn’t make sense to me at the time. Later I found a similar idea printed in an obscure alchemical tract, I’m not sure which one just now, but when I saw it there it made perfect sense, and I understood it to be correct instantly. Later I remembered that Hermes had alluded to the same thing years before.

Alchemists and Wizards have been warned not to reveal their secrets and also to stay away from the “Church”. The Alchemists have all been charged not to reveal their secrets to the uninitiated and they have been faithful. Though the work has continued ever always, the profane know nothing true about it.

Holy are the successful Alchemists, most righteous and true; verity sustains them. Although they learned that Christianity was a lie, and they learned that verity is most important, as well as the importance of charity and other virtues; they could not combat the lies. Such was not delivered into their hands. It was all they could do to keep their secret alive despite the intentions of the Beast to devour all truths. Alchemy has been outlawed in many times and places due to Christian claims that it is evil. Masonic traditions because of their link with alchemy and the ancient mysteries, have suffered the same persecution. Today I believe that if some of the elixir was found by “officials” it would be considered a controlled substance.

The law has no authority over the elixir of life nor over GOD. I have the authority to combat Christianity by revealing all secrets including those which the faithful and holy alchemists have kept for me; including the identity of the Prima Materia. The very idea of revealing this secret will make an alchemist shudder; because he was warned that if he did reveal it he would lose his own immortality. It is true because this was a commandment from GOD. But I have not been given that commandment, and my immortality is secure.

In fact my commandment is the opposite; to reveal All things. When, where and how clearly I reveal the identity of the Prima Materia is up to me to decide. If I were asked for it by someone who I felt was worthy I would not hesitate to tell them plainly and help them understand it. The world needs more Alchemists. But I can’t see profaning this secret by making it publicly visible either. No, I think the Prima Materia shall always remain a private thing. (a pun)

Prima Materia means the “number one material”; it is aptly and allegorically named. It is the Alchemists “lead”; the stone which is not a stone. It is the opposite of a stone yet will be a stone in the end; the Philosophers Stone, as the elixir is called. The Prima Materia is placed in the Alembic and separated into its principle “elements”, which are not technically elements as science describes, but elements, or parts, of the Prima Materia. Each of the parts has unique characteristics, one Volatile, and one Sublime, etc.…
