Spagyric - Yarrow
Achillea Millefolium
#Spagyrics
Today on 7/10/2011 at 21:45 I started to my a Yarrow tincture. The scientific name is Achillea Millefolium.
The #herb, #Yarrow, is connected with the planet #Venus and consequently with #copper as metal. Having read about Yarrow it seems to be a herb worthwhile experimenting with. A major plus is that it has antihistamine properties which might help me specifically with my allergies and hey fever. Up until now I only experimented with Lady's mantle as a herb corresponding with Venus. I would be looking forward to seeing how the two herbs differs. Since Libra is also ruled by Venus and the son is in Libra it is time to have worked with herbs associated with #Libra...and even more it is Friday which is the day connected with Venus. The moon is 84% full which makes it absolutely the right timing in terms of alchemical theory.
I am now following my herbal program of tinctures for four months. What I can say is that different herbs really have different effects. One of the herbs that really impressed me was Eyebright. This herb really has the effect of improved confidence and clarity of mind. You really perceive more depth in color. The Lady's Mantle I spoke about earlier did not really had a major effect on my...although the effect should be more for woman since it is said to help a lot with female menstruation. Yarrow does the same but it seem that is has a broader range of effects....I will have to wait 14 days before I can experiment with the Yarrow.

Interesting to say the least. Though I will add, you remind me of the great alchemist friend of mine. He was from Syria and experimented with herbs that, according to him, renewed his skin and made him look younger.
So interesting!
@The_Eyes_Of_A_Painter - I started with spagyrics in the beginning of this year. It is something new for me and I am still learning. But the practice helped me to get insights into alchemy I never had before. Alchemy further helped me to see wit a new light the connection between spirit and matter.
@songoftheheart - Glad it is interesting to you.
