Our sojourn into the world of practical alchemy continues with a plunge into the last four of the seven alchemical principles - Conjunction, Fermentation, Distillation and Coagulation. These four stages represent the coagula process which must follow after the completion of the first three solve stages that we discussed in episode nine.

Conjunction is the recombination of the parts that were taken apart in the separation process.

Fermentation is the controlled decay of the substance in order to allow new life to arise.

Distillation extracts the alcohol created in the fermentation stage.

Coagulation finally joins the mercury, sulfur and salt

Due to the rather advanced nature of these discussions we recommend that you listen to part one before continuing with part two.
