The New Olympic and Blessed Rosary

it represents a black antimonial eagle which can be visibly noted. The reason is that the quantity of the sulphur of antimony covers the gold, and where the black eagle rises in the fire, it tears or leads the aurum obscurum obscure gold with it. And this black eagle is called by many the aurum elevatum elevated gold.

I say further: if the white antimonial eagle were mixed with gold, then the mountain gold, when one poured through it, would not be so pure and clear, not so high in degree, for the aurum elevatum tinctures, alongside the sulphur of the black antimony, the common mountain gold so highly that it lacks nothing in all tests, and stands perfectly in all its power. Therefore, a tincture may very well be drawn from the black eagle, because the gold is therein; otherwise, little would be to be hoped from it and its sulphur if the gold were not therein.

And know that gold in the secret art is the greatest and most hidden mystery and essence in the world, which also tinctures common perfect sulphur, so that they become of a golden nature, more than is to be believed. I have learned this with great expense and with great effort. That, however, Heinz or Cunz generic names for common, unskilled people do not hit the right grip so that it tinctures as they would like, that does not matter much. Even if you carry the gold over the helmet distillation cap twenty times and make it spiritual, there is nothing to be achieved or gained by that alone. The crude artists say when they have led the gold to spirituality, it is the prima materia first matter. Far from it; make first a philosophical gold, then the prima materia will appear when you understand it rightly. Now, a tincture is drawn from the black eagle, yet not as perfectly as in gold by itself, and it is generally an oily tincture directed upon the running mercurius, so that they want to tincture many hundredweights of other metal with it; that is not so. Yet, one part of this tincture tinctures a hundred parts of running mercurius into the best gold. I have therefore described a tincturing process with the black antimonial eagle, as follows, that one must see and feel that in the antimony there is a tincture, which happens for the sake of the gold that lies and is therein.

A truthful and certain cement with the incombustible oil from the black eagle.

You should take half a pound of the glistening black eagle piece by piece and stratify such in quicklime, and
