Grand Elixir.
Tincture Ingredients: Alchemically catalysed oils of gold, antimony, extracts of aloe, saffron and myrrh, carrier alcohol spirit.
The Temple of Mercury's grand elixir is a special blend of powerful metals and herbs, extracted using traditional Hermetic (alchemical) processes in carrier alcohol/spirits. As a baseline, this formulation comes from the elixir of propriety - comprising of alchemical extractions aloe, saffron and myrrh. Originally formulated by Paracelsus, the legendary 16th Century alchemist, our version of the elixir is boosted considerably by the addition of alchemical "oils" - catalysed oils of gold and fixed antimony. Antimony and gold together are traditionally seen as two key components of one path to the Philosopher's Stone.
It should be stated for those who are unaware of alchemical methods that the "tinct" (soul/colour or profile of the metal) is extracted, but the metal itself is left behind. As such, there is no actual metal present in this spagyric, only the medicinal part of the metal is separated and catalysed into an oil.
In Hermetic practice it is traditionally taken one drop per day with wine, or added to any drink (water, tea etc.). This 5ml bottle contains 30-60 drops, depending on dropper size.
