I recently dreamt up this process that some will probably find invaluable, but I must
impress before hand that this can be very dangerous as it is only a couple steps away
from producing nitroglycerin and or nitrocellulose.
In many years of recovering gold from various electronic, jewelry and other forms of
scrap over the years I have invariably found very problematic instances that have
required me to experiement with various recovery methods for reclaiming Au as aqua
regia is not always the best choice as iron interferes with it greatly.
One particular concoction requires the use of a DC power supply to strip the Au using a
technique called reverse electroplating(stripping).
The stripping solution is made by mixing about a 1000ml of sulfuric acid with a 1/4
teaspoon of gylcerine, usually you would submerge a lead bar into the solution and attach
it to the negative side of a low amperage, variable voltage DC power supply, and attach a
stainless steel alligator clip or a series of hooks off of which you would hang the pieces
you want to strip the au off of and attach it to the positive side of the power supply. The
gold will strip off the piece and fall to the bottom of the vessel as a black mud, voila!
instant putrefation.(Nigredo)
Now the alchemical variation I've conceived here is to start the mix in a large glass bowl
and shortly after mixing the sulfuric acid and the glycerine place it outside on a full moon
night and allow it to soak up dew, as both sulfuric acid and glycerine are very
hygroscopic and will absorb so much ambient moisture even in arid places like west
Texas until the bowl brims and overflows in a very short time.(An accident I had in a hot
dry closet that ate up the wooden shelves after it began to overflow and part of my
Dreamer's Dictionary, an event I recalled recently when reading thorugh that book
analyzing a recent dream I had that prompted me to start this thread)
Glycerine itself is very "fatty" and is an unusually viscous "water" and obtained from
either vegatable or animals sources, and is in fact a very good candidate for the water that
doesn't wet the hands and is also sweet. Although be careful with skin exposure because
pure glycerine is so hygroscopic it will literally burn your hands, so please wear gloves as
it will try to pull the moisture out of your skin.
Glycerine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol)
Glycerol is an organic compound, also called glycerin or glycerine. It is a colorless,
odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has
three hydrophilic hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its
hygroscopic nature. The glycerol substructure is a central component of many lipids.
Glycerol is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity.
Glycerol forms the backbone of triglycerides, and can be produced by saponification of
animal fats, e.g. a byproduct of soap-making. It also is a byproduct of the production of

biodiesel via transesterification.

Glycerol is a very potent agent for attracting the secret fire from the night time sky as you
can read here, it is not only my opinion but that of other that through deliquescence we
achieve the most potent magnet for attracting the Spiritus Mundi.

"The Fire energy comes from the invisible sun as (does) all the invisible energy. I spoke
of that yesterday. It's a general rule that the invisible energies come from invisible things
and the visible energies come from the visible things. The Fire energy on the earth is
emitted by what we call the invisible sun or the black sun. And it comes to the earth's
atmosphere. And then this energy is undetermined and this is the first thing we are going
to see now.
For instance, if this energy is caught in air's wetness or in water it remains undetermined.
If it's freed by the vegetable leaf, the Fire energy will be determined to the vegetable
kingdom. If it's freed or drunk it will be set to the animal kingdom, and the water that
comes to the earth will be generally set to the mineral kingdom. In our alchemical work
we will need the Fire energy. So you need to set the Fire and then determine it according
to what you want to do with it. In our L.P.N. paper we have published a column
explaining how to get the wetness of the air as water. And this water contains an
undetermined Fire that stays, and you can set it where you want, for instance, by
dissolving the necessary salt in this water. But some other methods exist to get the Fire,
where determination is automatic.
Before this, I forgot a little detail. Dew - the condensation of water contains an
undetermined Fire that allows for gur and Archus experiments. But if you work in
alchemy this will give you very little Fire. To have enough Fire for our work there is only
deliquescence."
If anybody has their doubts on whether the secret fire can be had from vegatable matters
as some have argued against quite ignorantly. Look here and open your eyes.

After it has absorbed much dew(or trap water) begin the stripping process outdoors under
the full moon. This black sludge once collected is very pure gold and can be filtered and
washed, or those of you who have read of various paths concerning sulfuric acid , oil of

vitriol, or spirit of vitriol will have a pretty good idea of various ways on how to
procede............ although one particular method is childs play from this point foward.
This is my own path and I doubt you have heard of it anywhere else, although I do very
little reading of hard to find obscure literature so there maybe something similar out there
but I highly doubt it, I haven't heard of many methods that utilize electric current.
My house is aflame, engulfed in the secret fire!!!- L.R.
Some of you may want to build a magnetic water trap like Solomon and I have after
reading this: (from the before mentioned orchid cactus webpage)
"I saw a brilliant blue white flash of light, the three tiny pseudobulbs swelled to their
fullest and became about half again larger, small specks of white light sparked all around
the tiny leaves on each of the bulbs. It really looked as if I literally saw them grow right
before my eyes, even the color is richer looking then it was before. I'm not really sure
what it was that I saw, a phase shift, actual growth or what, but I DO KNOW I saw
something happen"!!
To have enough Fire for our work there is only deliquescence.
IMO it would be even better to use the unsaturated stone itself as the Magnet for
deliquescence in the first place.
It IS possible to collect Dew in certain ways to obtain a lot of Fire after it goes through
the 'classical' color sequences (starting from black after putrefaction and moving all the
way to red in philosophical digestion/circulation).
If the circulation is performed correctly, the 'stone' will deliquesce by itself until fully
saturated.
"To have enough Fire for our work there is only deliquescence"
That statement was from the PON alchemist, not me .....but I agree with what you said ,
what you speak of is a long way is it not? (But IMO at the same time doesn't negate what
he says, your stone has no virtue till it deliquesces and absorbs the secret fire.) Waiting
many philosophical months to reach the state of deliquescence and susbsequent
liquidfaction, this method is much, much faster and fool proof for the most part. The gold
instantly putrefied by the secret fire into the nigredo phase, the sulfuric acid/glycerin is an
alkahest.
I agree with what you said , what you speak of is a long way is it not?
Well... Short it isn't, at least it wasn't short when I first performed this process :(
But I did make a few mistakes which may have caused the whole thing to take longer
than absolutely necessary...
But IMO at the same time doesn't negate what he says
Of course it doesn't negate :)

Like I always say - there is more than one way to rectify a cat :cool:
Your stone has no virtue till it deliquesces and absorbs the secret fire.
The Stone's virtue is IMO directly related to its degree of saturation.
It already has some Fire in it in the beginning, but little saturation = little virtue, etc...
This method is much, much faster and fool proof for the most part. The gold instantly
putrefied by the secret fire into the nigredo phase, the sulfuric acid/glycerin is an
alkahest.
Sounds great!
