Twin flowers - Flosculi Gemelli

On the Great Physical Stone - De Magno Lapide Physico

From the two little flowers the philosopher's stone grows.

Once I was almost sad that I and others in the real and natural and equally divine art of Alchymia had not been able to experience or achieve anything certain in so many years and I immediately had doubts as to whether God Almighty could also help us poor sinners in this state want to let know.

In my speculation it happened that I was traveling and met a man in the form of a Bavarian on a mountain who was doing his handiwork on the mountain. The same Bawer had two little flowers in his hand, one male and the other female, of two different natures. I asked the Bawren what he meant to do with the flowers? because I know them both but I didn't know that they were male and female of two different colors.

Then the Bawer shows me that the flowers actually have the primam materiam in them, from which the great stone of the Philosophorum is made and could still be made with the help of God.

I am very astonished that such an extremely important stone should be made from a small plant and with little preparation and my astonishment was even greater that the work was so bad and so small that a Bavarian should understand it and it makes me heartily happy that I did Even before my end, I saw a man who could have such a great treasure and understand it, and I therefore approached me about how to approach the matter so that I would like to find out the right preparation of this stone and a little more, but all my thoughts and speculation were finally carefully then the matter was too important that no one should or should be able to.

That's why I said to the Bavarian with a sigh: Blessed is man who has revealed and trusted such a secret gift and treasure to God Almighty.

The Bavarian then says that if it is God's will, you may also obtain this from God, just pay attention to what is possible with nature, then the work is absolutely bad and without any effort and little.

I have to leave it alone this time.

At another time, not long afterwards, I set off on my journey again and decided to go back to the Bawren and ask about the flowers, which were then lying on the table in front of the Bawren and had not withered in the hot summer asked how it could be that the great stone of the Philosophorum should be created from such bad things.

Then Bawer asked if I hadn't read in the philosophers' writings that they wrote that such a stone could be made with very little effort, apart from a small and bad thing known to almost everyone .

If he wanted to trust me with such a great secret, I should thank God for the poor and help the needy and make good use of such treasure.

This makes me very happy and I didn't know what answer I should give so soon and when asked I praise God and can't thank him enough for such great veneration.

I was now eager to find out how to do the work and asked the Bavarian to tell me the right reason and not to seduce me.

He then said I could easily judge that it was the right path to art and whoever lacked it would find it impossible to get to this great treasure and the noble stone and then said: Let's make a welding pool that is surrounded on the inside with stones and clear crystals and kept safe.

And the Crijstallen is made of old, thick oak wood and needs to be vested and covered so that the hot sun in the middle of summer doesn't shine through the Crijstallen into the sweat pool.

Around the wooden covering, make a copper covering that lies smoothly on the wood, as high as the wooden covering so that no foreign moisture can get into the wood. For such a thickest bath, let a moat lead into it and have a spring of warm bathing in it so that it doesn't come into it in winter freeze and the water in the ditch is constantly open.

Ultimately, a good wall is drawn so that the bathroom is well protected from the accident.

If everything is well done with diligence, then put a flower in the middle of it, subtly chopped, washed and dried again In the Crijstallian bath, the same is completed with a Crijstallen lid and at the same time the copper cover is covered with oak wooden vest so that this artificial sweat pool is protected and safe from all external heat and humidity.

In such a bath in constant warmth, let the same noble flower sweat for up to forty days without stopping. From such flowers you will get the most noble smell and the most subtle thing that is hidden inside, but the flower will not wither in the sweat bath, nor will its strength and substance keep in mind that, regardless of the above-mentioned tribulation, it will still bear its seed and bear fruit, which is surprising.

And the Bavarians say further, just as you did with the flowers of the male gender and handled them in the sweat bath.

So also do the flowers of the female gender and they will also not wither and yet give off their smell and that of all things most subtle and after the sweat bath there will be The flowers also have their natural seeds and fruit collected.

Following this, in the name of God, take part of the noble smell and all the subtlest of the male sex and a part of the female sex put it back into the sweat pool and close it completely beforehand so that no stranger can go in there and you will see how it is first in a black color and then in strange colors.

There the king lies with the queen in his friendship and unite with one another, let it stand its time until the philosophical night is over, then you will rough the king of all earthly riches as a ruby find alone and the queen has merged with the king in his being, and have become two, one body and this king says he may be called the right quintum esse above which no wealth in the world can be.

Then I asked further how I should understand that this stone should be held in such high regard.

The Bavarian tells me that when I take a part of this prepared stone and do that to the most subtle of the flowers of the female sex, two parts and set it against it In the weld pool it will all turn into the noble and largest stone in a short time after all the colors that appear have been consumed and will in turn become one body in two , which can be done through a multiplication and then an infinite projection onto all metals in the same way good resistant gold to traffic in large quantities.

When I heard that, I praised and thanked God.

Now I asked further if I knew the flowers because I didn't know where they grew in abundance and where he got these flowers.

The Bawer tells me that these flowers grow in different countries and mountains, which he told me in very narrow, deep valleys So that the sun would not have shone on it from the beginning of the world, nor would the winter's snow or cold spoil it, even though it was of such sweet and strong virtue and should have been broken off with good skill as he tells me .

That's why a philosopher wrote not wrongly when he said that the great stone of the philosophers would be made from it, it was a single thing that is male and female sex that are counted in one body and so common that the poor also have more of it than the rich, that is understand that these flowers are broken off by the poor and given to the rich for their pleasure for money.

I further ask whoever heated the weld pool whether it also had to be artificially heated ?

Then he laughed and said I need my Bawren servant or a goose herder or a maid for this, because the furnace for this welding bath is designed in such a way that they can't make the farm stronger or spoil anything in it and it still remains in a certain position Warmth that is needed so that every hen's egg would like to be hatched in it - the reason he told me was reasonable.

Finally I asked if there were no other flowers than those that had such great virtues in them, then the Bavarian told me that there were six of the male flowers and only one in the entire world of the female gender, which he told me could be except one When the feminine comes into it, a stone of the shape heard by philosophers is made and everyone begets his own kind.

He tells me in detail about the causes, which were also reasonable.

Praise be to God for ever and ever - Deo sit Laus seculis infinitis.
