Cool.
Two questions though...
Firstly, what is a plant stone exactly and how does it show you've mastered the plant work? And secondly, how do you know that the herbal tinctiture is having an effect? Is it easily verifiable? Oh yeah, and what do you do with the salts? M.Stavish says that you can eat the salts after burning them but then you have the liquid also as a result of the process, do you mix them together or are they two diffrent end results altogether?
Apparently sundew coresponds to earth as it, ''contains the powers of all seven planets'', might try and use that to start with.
At times some authors leave people a bit short changed on what to expect from a practice, some things, energy states in particular, are difficult to put into words but I personally value testimonals and such things, especially as a neophyte/zelator. M.Stavish par example perscribes sundew but dosen't give information on what its purpose is, will be fun finding out first hand but a brief description wouldn't go a miss.
Forever the cautious capricorn. .lol.

Forever the cautious capricorn. .lol. I have never worked with sundew so I couldn't tell you. Supposedly it is good for the lungs, which would classify it as a mercury herb. Not sure why he says it applies to earth. As for the stone. There are actually two kinds, the lesser work which is a liquid stone, then the greater work which is an actual stone. A herbal stone shows you have mastered the herbal work because it takes the full skills of all previous work to make one. I am unsure why stavish suggests consuming only the salts. To be a true alchemical product it must contain all three principals.

M.Stavish simply says that sundew contains all the powers of the planets and reccomends that a person always keeps some handy when travelling considering its qualities. Guess theres no bible on what herb coresonds to what, could always mix several herbs together if such a thing is needed, will look out for other comments on sundew. Still don't get the whole stone bit... how does making a stone further your development? Is it edible? You didn't mention the calcinating process in your last post and I got confused, stavish says that you can eat them on their own or drink them with distilled water or with the liquidy stuff. His book is good but its a primer, not as purposeful as his B.o.L work writes with an ease makes for a good read willl probably use Manfred's text and take a look at the P.o.N course which I hope is QBL based enough to fit in alongside any G.D work. Last question before I become annoying, what on earth is animal alchemy? All kinds of strange thoughts invade my mind when thinking about what it could involve (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) This post has been edited by Mchawi: Jul 22 2008, 10:06 AM
