Now wait for the hour when the planets Saturn and Mercury come into conjunction, and have all your preparations ready for that occasion have the fire, the crucible, the mercury, and the lead ready, so that there will be no delay when the time of the conjunction arrives, for the work must be done during the moments of the conjunction. Take ten parts of pure gold, ten of silver, five of copper, two of tin, two of lead, one part of powdered iron, and five of mercury. Lead is added under an auspicious Saturn and so for the quicksilver, copper, and iron, when Mercury, Venus, and Mars are of good augury. gave an outline of the process, though it doesn't seem he ever did it himself that I know of:įirst the gold is melted up with the silver during a favourable aspect of the sun and moon these are then fused with tin when Jupiter is well dignified. Let this be that which is written, Liber VII, v, 31: "There is a solemnity of the silence. Let him not interrupt the sound of this Bell. At the sound of this Bell the Universe ceases for an indivisible moment of time, and attends to the Will of the Magician. Without even the minutest jar, its single notes tinkle fainter and fainter into silence. The Bell itself is made of electrum magicum, The sound of this Bell is indescribably commanding, solemn, and majestic. It is used in things like magical mirrors and bells, as suggested in Book 4, Part II (Aleister Crowley, ca. If you ignore the astrology, I am still curious about how the reheating/cooling at each step and associated waiting period for each astrological event might affect the end result. Each metal is added to the composite during favourable astrological times for that specific addition (so they can't all be added at once, and the interim alloys must be reheated, I imagine). In varying proportions depending on the recipe I found. In books on alchemy and magic, EM is alloy of metal which represents the seven planets of classical antiquity: it consists of Similar to those, I am curious about an alchemical variation on the alloy electrum known as 'electrum magicum' (EM) and how one might go about producing it safely at home. I did a quick search of r/metallurgy, and I saw that you occasionally get questions about weird alloys like Ashtadhatu and other similar alloys, and you've received questions about electrum (itself a mixture of gold + silver).
