Welcome to an Introduction to Kabbalistic Alchemy! Spagyrical Alchemy is used to draw in the essence of something and make it eternal. This process is not easy and takes a long time. If minerals are involved in an alchemical process, it can take years to transform it into the substance that you need. And this is where the true secret of Alchemy lies. You cannot perform Spagyrical Alchemy on a substance without having inner transformation of your own essence. You must transform the inner self first in order for the outer material to match your inner expression.
