Flammel claims that five or six grains of the projection powder will transmute thirty or forty pounds of lead or mercury into the finest gold. When one desires to make gold from lead or mercury, one should then heat the lead until it becomes molten, or in the case of mercury, until it begins to fume, and then throw in the projection powder of red gold glass wrapped up in a ball of wax. The instructions then direct the practitioner to grind the red gold glass into a powder, called the projection powder, and store it in a sealed vessel. Leave it in a very strong fire for two hours, remove the crucible, let it cool, break it, and you will see in the bottom a red glass, that is the exalted gold, true and royal powder capable of transmuting all metals into pure gold, better than the one found in the mines.
Melt in a crucible 10 ounces of fine gold and throw in it, on the melted gold, one ounce of the red powder. Below are Flammel’s instructions for this process, recorded in his Breviary. To accomplish this, one first has to prepare a red gold glass, by fusing the red elixir with pure gold in a furnace. In addition to consuming the elixir, the European alchemists claimed that it could also be used to transmute base metals into gold. Philalethes describes the powerful effect of the elixir as though it were a veritable fountain of youth.Ī man or woman who is born to hereditary weakness, may be changed into a more than ordinary strength by the use of our Medicine or a man who by labor, sickness, and years, is come to Grave’s mouth, even to drop in it, may by use hereof be restored his hair, his teeth, and his strength, so that he shall be of greater agility than in his youth, and of greater strength, and may live many years, provided the period of the Almighties decree be not come. This was called “potable gold.” In one passage it is said that one should take a few drops of this golden liquor every few months to maintain perfect health and freedom from disease. This process should be continued until the liquid obtains a golden color. Then one should take a drop of this liquor and place it in another jug of water or alcohol, which will be less red. The prescribed dose was to take a tiny grain of the stone and dissolve it in alcohol or water so that the liquid attains a red color, resembling red wine. They report that many practitioners died in the process of trying to ingest the elixir-either because their elixir was false and thus poisonous, or because they took too much and died because of its enormous transformational power. With respect to ingesting the elixir, the European alchemists were very wary. Using his own alchemical research, Cox then reveals secrets that have been kept hidden for millennia uncovered in his own modern-day quest to rediscover this long-sought elixir of life. In The Elixir of Immortality, Robert Cox reviews the alchemical lore of these traditions and the procedures each used to produce this fabulous elixir. The mysterious material-spiritual science of alchemy was once pervasive throughout the ancient world, spanning the globe from China and India to Egypt and medieval Europe. This substance, Robert Cox shows, bears eerie resemblance to the ultimate quest of the alchemists: the elixir of immortality.
Further research showed that this powder, which had also been discovered to possess marvelous healing powers, contained monatomic forms of precious metals whose electron units had been altered to no longer display the physical, chemical, or electrical properties of the original elements. After several years of testing, this substance was revealed to consist of gold and platinum-but in a form unknown to modern science. In 1989, while attempting to extract precious minerals from his property, a wealthy Arizonan obtained a mysterious white material that initially defied scientific attempts to identify it.
