Halcyon days: the Winter solstice; The long Winter nights are an ideal time for the collection of angel water
and it is the pivotal time for the rebirth of the spirit of vegetation that then appears in the Spring. The fixing
of this spirit in the salt magnet is the means to manifesting the Primum Ens
Pure grape spirit that was circulated initially on its own wine and/or sharpened over potassium carbonate to
ensure the spirit is dry. The fresh herb will add water; hence the need for a saturate salt solution.
The water etc., is drawn out of the plant cells by a difference in salt concentration in order to create a
balance. In this way the essence is transferred to the angel water. The green tincture may appear after a few
minutes or if left to macerate for several months or even years the resulting alcohol tincture may become
amber.
The spirit receives the tincture from below by using a form of osmotic pressure and diffusion from the high
concentration salt sol~. to the concentrated spirit which allows the soul to cross the membrane but not the
body/salt that served as its medium.
It may be difficult to remove all the colour from the salt. Regular shaking can help. There may be no choice
in the end but to dry the salt and recalcine it to burn out the carbon so it can collect fresh dew (angel water).
When the discarded leaves are dried they reveal a coating of precious soluble salt. This can either be rinsed
with distilled water and collected after evaporation or the body dried and calcined. The soluble salt of the
melissa can be added to the rest when dissolved and leached with distilled water and recrystallised.
Any herb can be subjected to the Ens process, although the results will vary according to the differing
symbiotic relationship and virtues of the herb. It is useful on herbs with minimal oil content. Melissa is said
to have 0.1 % volatile oil.

A few minutes after the addition of the tartarised spirits of wine produced the green tincture. Fresh leaves
were added to the solution immediately after chopping and no heat was applied.
The fresh leaves of melissa were macerated in the saturate solution in a digestive
summer heat for three days and removed using a sieve. Pure spirits of wine from circulated wine (1 month)
was added and settled on top of the salt solution. In this example a pale green tincture appeared within a few
hours.

Fresh leaves and flowers of melissa were added to 500ml of saturate solution
and macerated for two years. It was sieved and the body dried and calcined to recover any soluble salt.
Circulated spiritus vini was added to cover the salt solution by approx. two centimetres.
1 Halcyon - a bird, perhaps kingfisher or pelican, anciently fabled to brood about the time of winter solstice
in a nest floating on the sea, and to charm the wind and waves so that the sea was then specially calm.
Hence, halcyon days or alcyonides (Gk.) (Editor-D. E. Foster: Parachemica, Aust. Spring 1978)
2 Lesebure, a physician of Louis XIV of France, gives, in his 'Guide to Chemistry' ('Chemischer Handleiter.'
Nuremberg, 1685, page 276), an account of some experiments, witnessed by himself, with the Primum Ens
Melissae as follows:- 'One of my most intimate friends prepared the Primum Ens Melissae, and his curiosity
would not allow him to rest until he had seen with his own eyes the effect of this arcanum, so that he might
be certain whether or not the accounts given of its virtues were true. He therefore made the experiment, first
upon himself then upon an old female servant, aged seventy years, and afterwards upon an old hen that was
kept at his house. First he took, every morning at sunrise, a glass of white wine that was tinctured with this
remedy, and after using it for fourteen days his finger and toenails began to fall out, without, however,
causing any pain. He was not courageous enough to continue the experiment, but gave the same remedy to
the old female servant. She took it every morning for about ten days, when she began to menstruate again as
in former days. At this she was very much surprised, because she did not know that she had been taking a
medicine. She became frightened, and refused to continue the experiment. My friend took, therefore, some
grain, soaked it in that wine and gave it to the old hen to eat, and on the sixth day that bird began to lose its
feathers, and kept on losing them until it was perfectly made, but before two weeks had passed away, new
feathers grew, which were much more beautifully coloured; her comb stood up again, and she began again
to lay eggs.'

The Book concerning Renovation and Restoration p.135
The First Entity of Herbs.
Take celandine or balm; beat them into a pulse, shut them up in a glass vessel hermetically sealed, and place
in horse dung to be digested for a month. Afterwards separate the pure from the impure, pour the pure into a
glass vessel with dissolved salt, and let this, when closed, be exposed to the sun for a month. When this
period has elapsed, you will find at the bottom a thick liquid and the salt floating on the surface. When this
is separated you will have the virtues of the balm or of the celandine, as they are in their first entity; and
these are called, and really are, the first entities of the balm or of the celandine.
